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.

    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!

    Works great - some nice improvements over the previous generation. Pricey, though.

    Awesome Controller

    This controller is super awesome. It paired easily with my computer and my Xbox Series X. I love the look and design. The magnetic replaceable buttons are very cool. The only downside is the "grip" texture on it isn't very grippy. Luckily I found a company called Lizard Skins that makes a grip that will go over it that makes this controller feel amazing.

    This is the only competitive gaming controller you need. If you PC game this is the only way to go. I own both elite and ps dulesense... Own a PS5 not an XBOX.. With that said something about the look feel weight responsiveness back paddles everything is just better.

    So I bought two of these. One from Best Buy and one from Game Stop. For my 22 year old and 12 year old sons. I hate paying for controllers because they break them so easily but I read the reviews and they were all good. First day my oldest had it he dropped it down the stairs, spilled soda on it and it was thrown off the wall a couple times. Not a mark. Or scratch. Nothing. This thing held up through it all. Very well made. And the one from game stop was more expensive and that's the one my other son had and when we took it out of the box it was used and it wasn't supposed to be. Definitely worth the money as long as you buy it from Best Buy.
