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.

    I had an old original Elite 2 so I just use the knobs and D pad from that set. It does feel a bit different than my old one but I think it's just the breaking in period. I am used to it now and I love it as much as my original.

    Started off great super responsive pedals, triggers and smooth feeling on sticks. But after about 5 hours of gameplay it started having input issues. Itd have stick occasionally input the direction opposite i moved it, prolong button inputs from taps to 3-4 second holds randomly, and randomly input bumper triggers. This happened accross mutliple controller profiles, games and even after reinstalling drivers. Was very disappointed as its unusable now.

    This thing is a sculpted masterpiece! I loved the first gen controller and they went and upgraded it. This thing is incredible. I’m annoyed off though. One of my family members (I’m pretty sure) three away my d-pad and since Microsoft doesn’t make replacement parts I’m going to have to but from a sketchy third party and hope it all works properly.

    Coming from a 2080 super I'm a little surprised, I thought it was going to be much more impressive. The biggest difference I see is in the frame rate which is obviously a big deal.
