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.

    While the Elite controller is about the cost of 3 normal controllers, you really can't be the build quality on it! Make sure to get the Geeksquad Protection Plan with it.

    I will preface by saying the controller feels great and all and I particularly enjoy the swappable parts, but man. They really need to work on Quality Control. This is my second controller and the right bumper doesn't register half the time. Have to double tap it or hold it even. If you get this, a good idea is to buy the replacement plan; in my experience you're going to need it.

    The back buttons for the trigger sensitivity are poorly designed the rubber gripping that was used easily came off highly recommend getting the extended warranty.
