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.

    Bought this control so I can get the extra help in battles in warzone, specifically with the paddles ofcourse to help crouch and jump, it works amazing. Controller is solid and feels great in hands, quality is amazing. The internal battery and charge is the best. The case it came with is great. Really expensive but worth the upgrade, made sure to get insurance with this as well.

    This is a great controller. Internal battery is nice. A single charge lasts a long time, the responsiveness is outstanding. I love the hair trigger option and the 3 different paddle setups for different play styles. Its so versatile and easy to switch between console, to pc, and even to my phone during trips. Comes with extra parts too. Definitely a good purchase

    Attention to detail and high level customization

    So many teviews pointing at the quality of the controller and I wont reapeat it, agreed. I have been using the elite series 1 and never did i though it was missing features, it has been great and zero issue (use adapter for playin with it on ps4 and switch whick makes gaming super enjoyable in every console). Then got the elite series 2 and was floored ny how much everything was improved. One detail I want to mention is the hair triggers function. In previous elite shortening the rhow of the trigger will make it by default that the maximum balues could not be reach (full trigger pull values) without adjusting in the software customization. Not a big deal nor a problem since all it takes is a quick adjustment in the trigger tab for customization. In the elite series 2 they made it so that when changing the total pull for the trigger (three option total), each option when changed automatically adjusts the reading from the trigger so that one gets full press galues even at the shortest throw. This is incredible attention to detail becuase it was absolutely acceptable to let the user go into the setting and adjsut it, but they decided to go the extar mile and make it happen on the fly. In short, is an epic controller for an epic console (Xbox X) and the upcoming new Xbox. Once you have you wont look back and because this controllers usually last a long time you will get your moneys worth.

    Had to return it due to a double gifting, but boy does my nephew love this controler. Every game has its own setting for the back pedals, uses it mainly for PC, but he loves it!

    The controller is a great addition for me due to the fact that I play a majority of first person shooter games ( mostly rainbow 6 siege ) and I am able to utilize multiple features that the controller offers including the trigger stops and paddles. Although the price is somewhat steep I would say that when they re stock that it is worth the purchase

    The controller feels sturdy, it is responsive, and I like being able to change pieces out to suit my gameplay needs. The battery lasts forever, and the controller has some weight to it.

    Very neat controller, it is comfortable and has some pretty cool features like being able to decide if the trigger buttons are just click buttons or if you need to be able to feather it. Can also add paddle buttons to the back. My only gripe would be it does not come with atleast a set of paddles to add.

    Helps my son waste even more time and stay closed up in his room yelling at people even longer. It does seem to be well made. It feels a little heavier and much higher quality than his other controllers.

    Pretty happy with the controller function. The cost was way too much tho. It's a game controller. It was almost $200. I was not happy with opening the box to find there was no controller in the box tho.. luckily i figured that out before I made it to my vehicle and went back in. The best buy resolved the issue for me.. but make sure to check before you leave.

    Love the set up options, you can really customize this controller. I don't like the texture as much as I did the first Elite controller, but this one is OK. Internal battery has been great so far, holds charge for a long time. Adjustable tension on the sticks is a cool feature. They are very pricey I think though.
