Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Nightmare experience

    I've owned several premium controllers, for both xbox and playstation, and had 3 different elite series 1 controllers. So I was excited to finally upgrade to the series 2. However, I noticed that the right trigger started "creaking" when using the trigger stops after only a few days of use. Not ideal, but that's why I bought the geek squad protection plan - I heard it was great. But, when I tried to arrange service, I needed to make an appointment (understandable, with the pandemic) and it was almost 3 weeks out, and only available at stores farther away. And during days when I wasn't available. Not wanting to wait that long, I decided to take advantage of microsoft's own warranty, boxed it up, sent it back, and just now got the replacement. Only to have the SAME ISSUE happen within an hour. It's now on the way to microsoft again, since Geek Squad is still 3 weeks out for service. Microsoft's warranty is good until October in my case and all I can do is hope that I'll get a working unit by then. I'd return it, but of course now I'm outside the return window. To be clear, it's the product that's the problem, not the service. I understand the decreased operations with the state of the world right now, I just don't like spending $180 ($220 with the 2 year service) for a product that I'm able to use 3 days in a 5 week period.

    This is the second time I buy this controller, the first time it was always disconnecting wirelessly. This time the battery doesn’t even work so it has to be connected at all times. Other then that it’s an amazing controller and you feel the quality.

    I’ve had this remote for about a year. Its been great. Takes a little getting use to cause it’s heavier but feels premium. I’d give it a 4.7 out of 5
