    Made sense if I was a competitive gamer. It’s hard to reason keeping this for the casual user. The thumb sticks and paddles though….

    Great controller. A little on the heavy side compared to a regular controller with a Microsoft battery pack in it but, works great.

    You better get the extended warranty because it WILL break in a year or less. It’s easier to get one of these then a custom made controller from one of the smaller companies.

    This controller is totally worth it. The build quality is amazing and has the perfect weight and feel. It comes with a bunch of accessories and you can easily modify this controller to your liking.

    Im very sad to wright this i have owned many controllers over time and i purchased an elite series 2 last year and it was amazing one of the best rollers i have had but ive always been a play station controller person so i sold it to a friends when the ps5 edge controller came out and man that was a mistake that thing broke with in 2 months so i went back to my astro controller for a while and figured id buy another elite 2 controller when i had the money so i purchased the red core controller about a week ago cause im a sucker for red haha but was sadly disapointed when it arrived and i plugged it in to my pc the ads trigger was bugged out of the box every time i had tbe trigger stop on and would ads in game if i moved my joy stick to the left it would un ads me in the middle of fights and also one of the back buttons/paddles was kinda mushy it worked but it didnt really click so do to these corcumstances i am returning the controller right away and i purchased my self a scuf envision and man is this thing sweet tops all the controllers i have had so far so if your a pc gamer ger the scuf envision for sure for the price you cant beat it but if your a x box console gamer save your money on these thing youll just be returning it i would just spend the extra 50 bucks or so and get the black elite 2 package combo the cores are trash

    Controller has a lot more customization in terms of thumbstick height and trigger actuation. Also comes with a nice carrying case. Very good quality controller with a premium feel. Only con is that it is quite expensive.

    The second elite series 2 controller and had a series 1 as well. Great updates from the first edition but the first series 2 controller had a bad right trigger that was faulty.

    It’s hard to recommend this controller especially at this price. After about six months it developed significant stick drift, just like it’s predecessor. Since then, Microsoft has replaced it twice for me, which I’m grateful for since it was $200, but that window is now closed and when it inevitably starts drifting again I’ll be out of luck. If you can get it on sale and you don’t mind repairing it yourself, maybe it’s worth buying, but if stick drift is a deal breaker for you just walk away.
