Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Worthy Upgrade to 1st Elite Controller

    Having the first one, I could not imagine Microsoft topping the 1st Elite Controller. I have to say, I am impressed with their new incarnation. The even more adjustable triggers are very helpful in CoD type games. I like the extra slot for a setting and overall quality, for example, the grips are much better. I highly suggest this controller for anyone who wants to get the most out of their gaming experience.

    IMO, these controllers are a game changer. I set the paddles in the back to correspond with the A, B, X, Y buttons, so I never have to use my right thumb for those buttons. And you can custom map all the buttons on the controller, and save them as a profile to load into the 3 slots for quick change outs. It's nice for those games that only give you preset control options.

    Just buy it! It’s a great controller with back levers you can program. It has a number of profiles you can save on the controller. Three profiles you can rotate to quickly. It’s very responsive and has quickly become my favorite controller!
