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.

    Fantastic controller. Worked perfectly out of the box, despite what some have said. I thought the original Elite controller was the best I had ever used until I got this one. The Series 2 is superior in every way.

    This is the best game pad ever made. Fully customizable and it comes with extra buttons. Make sure to get the warranty. Like all pads, this will break with heavy use.

    I don't know how I played without this controller for so many years. The short throw trigger and adjustable stick tension make for a remarkable difference in gameplay.

    The controller itself is the best controller I've ever used. Customization is excellent! The problem is the build quality. I've had to GSP multiple of these controllers because of things like stick drift, stick failure and multiple button failures.
