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.

    Left bumper failing after 7 months

    Best controller I’ve owned by far. Worth the price, BUT 7 months in after medium use (~500 hours?) and the left bumper is becoming inconsistent. It registers a press ~75% of the time and I expect it to keep getting worse. I looked it up and this seems to be a common issue unfortunately. I would expect better longevity for the price you pay.

    This is the controller the system should come with. It’s fantastic, although I still find myself preferring the dual sense for its haptics.

    My only complaint is that it's heavier than standard controllers but it's understandable. Honestly I don't think I can go back to regular controllers.

    The premier “pro” Xbox controller, however they are continually plagued by bumper malfunctions. If had 3 over the past 4-5 years, however no other controller comes close to feel. I recommend getting the year warranty as I’ve needed to swap them almost yearly with fairly heavy use.

    I have the first elite controller. This is slightly better but with a rechargeable battery and tweakable sticks for tension. If you have discounts awaiting you(rewards), I highly recommend.

    Happy with my purchase I'm just hoping it last longer than the first series I bought and exchanged a couple since I had either buttons break or drift. This one feels better built than the them.
