    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

    The battery life on this series is amazing. I play 3-4 hours at a time and have been playing for 2 weeks with it now and it’s at half battery. Love the hair trigger! Highly recommend.

    Controller highlights durability and features for extensive gaming but breaks after 3-4 months. Shoulder buttons get busted and my A button was already almost busted right out of the box. Microsoft wants you to send in the controller for a repair while you pay $100 service fee plus shipping costs. Xbox support knows about this issue and is doing absolutely nothing for the countless amounts of customers that spent a large amount of money for a product that doesn’t even last longer than a standard issue model. There’s countless amounts of people that have similar if not more severe issues that all have to swap parts daily, can’t find replacement parts, or are still waiting for Xbox to send them a working model. Don’t waste your time or money.

    price for the item is too much for what this controller provides. i still use my regular xbox controller instead of this, the controller back buttons shouln't just be a way to have the face buttons on the back, but should also be extra buttons for other skills not used on the abxy up down left right

    Very disappointed with these controllers. I purchased two in total, the first one right out of the box had stick drift. So I returned it and replaced it with another. It also had stick drift.

    All around one of the best controllers i have used. I love the stick sensitivity. It really helps in any game that requires precise movement.
