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.

    This is a fantastic gaming controller. The only downside is that the grip starts to come undone with heavy play.

    I had the elite series 1. I don’t know if this is worth the upgrade if you already have an elite controller. The improvements are great, and much welcomed but that being said had my elite 1 controller not broke and I know what I know about the series 2. I wouldn’t have upgraded.

    This is the best controller, unfortunately the rubber pads don’t last that long, maybe 10-11 months for heavy use (20 hrs a week), my advice, add the geek squad warranty, totally worth it. For that reason I don’t do the 5 starts

    Best controller I’ve ever use, it is expensive but it really is worth the price, got an extended warranty because I’ve heard they are prone to have factory defects over time, would recommend other people to buy the warranty too, bought it 7 months ago and it hasn’t given me any problem.

    Would rate it 5 stars if I didn’t have a issue with the first one I bought. After researching there’s problems the joy sticks. Love the controller and the paddle options in the back. Definitely a must if your a COD player like myself.

    Wow, switched from scuf controllers and just wow. Paddles took some getting used to tho. Very well done all around. Recommend protection plan tho. I had LB(left bumper) get sticky so just went to best buy n swapped. Very happy. Only thing scuf has better would be customizations.

    Not built to last.

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one was a base model. Within 2 years the RB stopped working which is a common issue, but you need solder and replace a ten dollar part to fix it. Which I tried and failed to do. So the core comes along and I had hoped maybe they fixed but they did not. About 1 month after my extended warranty expired the RB button died again. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend this control based on the failure rate. Especially on a premium product. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because when it works it’s my favorite controller. I can justify the price.

    It works.Y button is a little loose but It does not bother me. Microsoft knows about it but I guess it does not bother them as well. Lol.
