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 controller is very customizable. It is a very good no lag controller. I highly recommend this controller. The only complaint is that I sometimes hit the bumper when using the trigger. Maybe they will fix this by the Elite 3

    Good controller but 2 months in the RB stopped working. Seems this is a pretty common issue with these controllers. Not worth the price.

    I tried the Scuf which I loved but this is much better. The only thing that scuf was better at were the triggers, but this is good enough and the rest of the components are superior

    Overall controller is the same as Elite series 2, the only difference is the build quality is a little cheaper and the accessories dont come with this one.

    This controller feels extremely nice, feels very well built. You must buy the protection plan because it will break. In a sample size of 3, all three have broken in less than six months each. Left analog stick drift on one, the headphone jack on another, and the left bumper fell out on another. This is not from hard use at all, they haven’t been thrown dropped etc. For being 3x the price of the standard controller this one should have higher quality components.

    Bought this for gaming on my laptop and it works well. Integrated easily and required nearly no real setup. Just plug and play for the most part.

    I use the paddle buttons on the back of the Elite controllers for "A" and "B" buttons. This makes it easier to move and look around while jumping in games. The Series 2 feels better built than the first version and I like the charging dock.

    So I hesitated getting this for my son due to cost. I bit the bullet and bought to and I am so glad I did. He loves it. Once we got it home and realized all it could do it was definitely worth the cost. It is truly a huge upgrade from the standard controllers.
