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.

    Manufacturing issue

    The controller worked fantastic at first but after about 5-6 months the top bumper buttons began to get stuck and eventually just gave out. Thought it was the controller itself but I think it’s a manufacturer issue because I bought another one and the same thing happened but this thing it happened with the A button as well with the bumpers

    This is amazing controller. My son is on the Xbox a lot and I was having to put so many batteries in a week and this only has to be charged once a week. It's amazing.

    So far it’s real comfortable. Use it about 2-3 hours a day when I game. No issues when connected, when I try to use it with bluetooth(not connected to pc) it does give me connection issues mid match so I run it with the type c cord on.

    Super glad this "core" was an option being that i had the complete elite 2 package. Bought this as a controller replacement and am able to use all of the peices that came with the full elite 2 package. Absolutely happy with my purchase!

    Really good feeling controller, customization and adjustability is great. I love the instant switching from my pc to my xbox that’s also very useful. So for no issues and it’s been about 2 months. I might snatch up the white one just because it looks so good. Highly recommend!

    I love this remote because it’s sturdy and the weight is just right. Not to mention, it comes with a great selection of thumb stick toppers. It has many great features, I would most definitely purchase again.

    The concept is awesome but it is designed for people with small hands. They should account for people with big hands an offer an option to make palm handles thicker. But over all, it works as designed. No issues on battery life. Has a premium feel to it.
