Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    Great Controller! But worth the price tag...?

    I got this as a Christmas gift and have really enjoyed it thus far. I really love the feel and grip of this controller, along with the customization that comes with the interchangeable pieces (which require no tools/all magnetic). As a more “casual” gamer, while I really do enjoy it, I’m not certain I’d say personally that it’s worth near $200 and not certain I’d buy it on my own had I not recorded it as a gift. For more hard core games, maybe, but if you’re a more casual gamer, I don’t know if there’s just that much more value in this over a standard, far less expensive XBox controller. But if you’re getting as a gift (for free) or just got the money to burn, it’s definitely a great controller.

    Feels better than any controller imo, only pro controller I know of without hall effect sticks. It's a must for fps shooting games.

    IMHO the price point on this controller is a real blocker. I would have tried one years ago at $100, maybe even $130, but near $200 for a controller is a lot to ask. That being said, thanks to not going out for a year I've saved enough money to justify this kind of opulence and I'm glad I went for it. It comes with a charging dock you can rest it on which is nice. I'm mainly a single player gamer so having 1 controller constantly charged is a big deal. I dropped the flippers on the back and swapped out joysticks. The directional pad is an improvement (and you can swap it out too if you disagree). You don't need this controller, but if you're interested and have money to burn you have my blessing.

    I’ve had many remote controls but this one feels different. It is stronger, heavier in a good way. The feeling that I get with this one in my hands is like i can play anything and i have more control of the game in many ways. Fast reaction and the bottoms dont break even when I play fighting games which require a lot of pressing and controlig every bottom. I would recomend it to anyone.

    Hands down my go to controller. The quality isn't always the best, i definitely recommend the warranty. I'm on my third one. The first one began to get a non responsive right trigger, the second one was doing the same and stick drift. I'd swap the joysticks out for Gulli's. Regardless of the problems, the controller fits in my, larger than average, hands far better than any other I've tried.

    Good improvements over the first version

    All I can say is they improved an already great controller. Battery life is way better than the first version and I like the improved grips your palms rest on. And for those upset that you can't change the batteries, I feel its now a mute point. They have a very long a generous USB-C charging cable and the controller has no issues being used while charging (unlike some that can tend to drop the signal when this occurs). The only odd thing both a friend and I have noticed (we purchased at the same time) is that the Xbox button can be a bit off when pressing to turn on/off and other functions. It seems the click point is not as centered as the pervious version and is s bit more toward the right bottom of the circle.

    Highly customizable software-based function binding. Strong battery life and it charges quickly. Nice storage/carry case if you need it. Charger stand allows you to display controller standing upright, and out of the way until needed and so you can easily grab it from the stand. Excellent build quality, controller feels solid during use and has a set of replacement thumb-paddles/sticks and D-pad. The grippy surface allows for better grip over the smooth standard plastic surface. Wireless connectivity has been excellent, not a single issue. Stupid expensive. and only a 1-yr warranty.
