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.

    This is a great controller however not sure it's worth $180. We love it and use it everyday but the value may not be there for the casual gamer. If you are a competitive gamer this may be more up your alley.

    As a heavy gamer, I owned the elite series 1s and wasn't sure if i needed these. I went ahead and bought them anyway. The upgrades in the series 2's are worth the price upgrade. It is my favorite xbox controller

    Very solidly built. Magnetic connectors for the thumbsticks, paddles and d pad make swapping these around a breeze. New trigger stops are awesome if you like having hair triggers for FPS games.

    Much better than the first edition. The grips actually stay on. R stick and L stick buttons are a little to sensitive, but otherwise its great.
