Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    You better get the extended warranty because it WILL break in a year or less. It’s easier to get one of these then a custom made controller from one of the smaller companies.

    Great upgrade from the previous elite controller. Love the new cord that comes with this one. The power cord is long and comes in handy if you sit a little distance from the Xbox.

    The second elite series 2 controller and had a series 1 as well. Great updates from the first edition but the first series 2 controller had a bad right trigger that was faulty.

    Don’t buy this controller unless you want to spend this much money on some crap that will last a year max. The left and right bumpers will break. I’m gentle with my controllers never dropping them and the stock controllers never broke down as much as this one. Idk what a better substitute would be. I’m buying a Wolverine chroma v2 and hoping it’s more reliable than this expensive piece of junk. Lb and rv have been a must for me and this controller fails the test In the first series AND THE SECOND SERIES. They don’t care they will sell it cause of the credibility they have. Probably won’t fix it in their third try around cause we buy it anyways
