Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Form and function , sleek and versatile. The only functional issue I encountered was the camera drifted creating some difficulty playing my game. Cosmetically, the controller was quite nice, with only an issue of the rubber grips coming off after a time. I liked this controller, but for the money I can't justify buying another.

    XBOX Elite Controller is TRASH!

    Xbox yet again builds a piece of junk! Do not buy these overpriced controllers. They are cheaply made and will need replacing within 3 months. This is my 6th Xbox Elite Controller in 2 years :( The thumbsticks will wear out within months EACH AND EVERY TIME! Not to mention the bumpers and buttons will all have issues as well. Xbox made it so it's very hard to replace the parts yourself. Save your money and buy just a standard controller. If you try to use the warranty to replace or fix your plastic junk of a controller, you will be without it for over 3+ months. DO NOT BUY THIS CONTROLLER!!!!!!

    Right Bumper Issues after 3 Months

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Apparently the issues with the bumpers failing has not been corrected. After only 3 months of less than 3-hours a day of play my right bumper only intermittently responds to inputs. I have since found out this is a known issue for this product. Without the ability to purchase a protection plan to cover this issue I would not purchase this product and even if there was a protection plan offered that covers this issues I would be hesitant to buy it. If Microsoft corrects this issue I'd probably have rated this product with 5 stars, because excluding this major flaw the controller is great and vast improvement over it's predecessor.
