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.

    The Elite v1 was good... it had its problems! The Elite v2 has solved all the issues of the v1 and made an exceptionally designed controller! I love it!

    The controller is fantastic. I definitely can't say it's a necessity. But, it adds a new element to gaming. The adjustable controls are a great feature

    Refurbished being sold as new...

    The items wasn't new even tho that's what it was sold to me as. Definitely refurbished. Settings for back paddles already had presets installed and the xbox light was dim. Also had brown dust on the grips and had brown/orange crush all by the charger port. Luckily they allowed me to return and get another one. Which is the other one I'm going to leave a review for after this one. If new great product, sold as refurbished should be ok. But a refurbished shouldn't be sold as new, very suspicious in my opinion.

    Some quality control and long term endurance issues when it comes to this controller. A few months after buying it, the left bumper started being frequently unresponsive and when an input was registered(pressing very hard) it would register multiple clicks in rapid succession instead of just one. After that, the stick drift begun on both joysticks, right more so than left. These problems weren't severe at first so I just dealt with it, but right now its making difficult to play games. This is my second elite controller with issues, not happy about the idea of having to buy a third controller

    Wanted an upgrade to my Gen1 elite so I picked this up knowing the paddles and accessories could be used. However, the elite core had issues such as the A button sticking and the left bumper not registering inputs. Returned.

    This controller has a lot of upgrades from the first elite. I would highly recommend it. I have not had any issues after about 35 hours of use.

    3/3 Elite controllers are defective

    I bought a Series 1 controller long after their release- after Microsoft had time to clean up its obviously defective production- and yet still received a controller that ended up with a defective RB after 2 months. This past November, I bought a Series 2. The first of which I had to return after a day because the A button would become stuck and fail to register. Now, it’s March, a whole 4 months after purchase, and the LB now is failing on the replacement. Third controller purchased; third controller defective. It’s like a $235 lottery where you spend your hard earned money on a substandard product that most likely will fail long before a standard controller would. Closing thoughts: called Elite but built petite.
