Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    I Though The Product Was A Waste Of Money At First But Boy Was I Wrong. This Controller Is Made With The Gamer In Mind Its Made From Premium Materials and Overall Just Feels Like A Better Piece Of Hardware. You Can Add The Paddles To The Back Change The D Pad Change How Low You Can Press The Triggers. This Will Be Your Last Controller

    GET A GEEK SQUAD WARRANTY! Awesome controller, but definitely has numerous quality control issues. I'm on my 5th Elite Series 2 controller. About to buy a new one, with a warranty right now so i have a backup Series 2 when mine gets back from Microsoft.

    To be honest, just get a scuf controller. Its a decent controller yeah, feels somewhat good. But i actually dont use any of the features. Removable d-pad and joysticks, i use the same ones everywhere and have no need to change to something uncomfortable. Im on PC as well so controller becomes more and more alien the further i am away from using one. Which is majority of gaming sessions

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one broke in less than one year and I didn't buy the best buy warranty. This time around I did. These controller have nice features but they tend to fall apart quickly.

    I love this controller, the paddles are shorter than the series 1, so no more accidental presses if you set it down on the couch or something. Only small problem I had, was the rubber tips on the trigger adjustments kept falling off. Never affected performance or anything like that though.
