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.

    I tried playing claw practiced for a few months but just never could get the hang of it (call me lazy for giving up) I saw this controller and it became the answer to all my problems and even made more other stuff even better. It comes with multiple joy sticks I use most of them for different games I normally only switch the D pad to mess around but I'm sure someone has a use for it. Not a serious gamer but definitely upped my game to a whole new level love it. Only issue is one of the joy sticks loosen and can spin but I tightened it and haven't had a problem since.

    I was afraid to pay this much money for a controller even though I play my Xbox a lot, but this controller is pretty nice. I enjoy it and it’s worth the money.

    my all time favorite controller, well worth the money, everything about it is premium, the only bad thing about it is that it will eventually get the stick drift, I've gone through 3 elite controllers but I keep coming back, best to get the warranty, if people are asking why I think its the best controller even tho it has a major flaw, my response is this, a lot of other controllers now have the same issue, the difference is that this controller is just built better overall

    Got an open box - I had to return it via the Microsoft warranty 3 months later but for the price (120$) it was worth it since they sent me a brand new one right after.

    For the most part, feels like a normal controller. It would be nice if the cradle in the case could hold a charge to charge it on the go.
