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 will preface by saying the controller feels great and all and I particularly enjoy the swappable parts, but man. They really need to work on Quality Control. This is my second controller and the right bumper doesn't register half the time. Have to double tap it or hold it even. If you get this, a good idea is to buy the replacement plan; in my experience you're going to need it.

    It is an improved version of the original elite series, the build feels tight and well built but only time will tell if bumpers or rubber will come apart but again so far it feels better than the first one.

    Just a regular controller with a fancy name

    Don’t let the stars fool you, it is a great product, the thing is that because of the price and the actual usability of the controller makes it impossible for me to give it a better rating. It is a luxury item, and it can help you go pro, but’s that’s it. Other than the back pedals it offers the difference between a regular controller and this is minimal. Both controllers will get stick drift and if you are no good at the game, the controller is useless.

    In my opinion, the best controller out there. A bit expensive, but very sturdy and also has switchable toggle buttons and sticks. Great!

    used elite controllers for a few years now and have yet to find a better overall controller. Analog sticks get worn out after about 5-7 months, but beyond that, I see no issues.

    The features on this compared to the original are night and day. Playing shooting games it makes the hugest difference I've played with this controller for about 120 hours and it's very beneficial to have.

    Got this for my son, as for he had the series 1 awhile back. He loves it, says it makes his gaming easier. Good for more experienced players who are on a lot, not worth it for minimal use.
