Customers are saying
Customers enjoy the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently highlight the comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality feel during gameplay. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Additionally, while many appreciate the design, some find the premium price point and specific bumper functionality to be areas for improvement.

Would be perfect if not for drift issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller has ruined me on regular controllers. But it started experiencing drift from the left joystick and it's super annoying.

Staff was great, controller wasn't
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller felt tough and durable, but had stick drift out of the box. Returned it for another one and it also had stick drift out of the box. The staff was great and helpful but the product itself was sub par.

Defected
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 5 and returned them all, each came out of the box defective. Issues from stick drift to sticky face buttons to crunchy triggers with each controller having one of these issues. My stock 2 year old controller that came with my Xbox one X is far better controller with a control freak on the right thumb stick “and no issues at all after two years”

- Pros mentioned:Battery life
Very responsive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connects instantally every time. No issues long battery life. Love it.
I would recommend this to a friend Review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Every time I get one the left stick drifts in about a week and makes it basically unusable. I honestly preferred the first series of elite controllers compared to these because they did not have that issue. I think this issue is caused by the adjustable tensions on the sticks . I’m sorry I can not recommend these to anyone due to the fact of how many times I’ve had to take mine back. Will be bringing in another one this week.
