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’ve had to buy 6 of these now, the bumpers keep failing on me. I love the controller but hate the reliability.

    Great controller. Not as good as the original elite controller. Looks are better but quality seems to be a little under the first elite. Bought this one for a friend. Ive had mine for about 6 months now.

    Best Xbox controller I’ve played with. Without getting into the technical aspects of it, which you can read almost everywhere, know that this controller is very easy and comfortable to play with. The price is high but worth every penny. I definitely recommend it.

    Fantastic controller. Unfortunately I was not able to use it as I wanted to. Nvidia Shield TV is not compatible nor WebOS for LG. I wanted to play on GeForce Now.

    Bought this for our Grandson. He seems to think it is great! Just what he wanted and says it’s so much easier and more maneuverable than his old controller.

    Great upgrade from the standard controller. If you play alot of video games it’s worth the price. Definitely purchase the extended warranty though if your paying for a premium controller. Controllers go through a lot of wear and tear so the warranty is a must.
