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.

    Battery life and customization are appreciated, while the controller’s weight and in-hand feel are much more comfortable than basic/standard controller.

    I'm a PC player that likes to use a controller with casual games like Fallout and GTAV. I purchased this because i prefer the Xbox form compared to PS. The weight of the controller is fantastic, the buttons feel great. the whole thing just feels very premium. I went to a buddies house and used his regular Xbox controller for the night and I felt like a pleb in comparison. Night and day difference, 4 stars because the price is just as heavy as the controller.

    Seriously love it. Thought it wouldn’t be that much better but the red really pops in this bad boy. I think it feels better than my all black series 2 I got when they came out.

    fantastic. i love playing elden ring with this and brawlhalla. the paddles really help to accidentally jolt off a cliff with torrent and screw up my combos and such. i'm sure it'll have some use to it. really like the option to change the trigger pull. i keep it real short for easy spamming. setup was kind of difficult. i had to download these sketcy programs and update it. idk. once it started to properly work it was good

    I got an open box in good condition controller. The only thing missing was the directional pad that you can see on most pictures. Otherwise, perfect condition, all other parts and connected fast to my Xbox.

    Controller works great and it’s still working great despite using it every day and accidentally dropping it off my bed once. Sturdy and great for competitive games.

    So good in some ways, a let down in others. The Bad. The Bluetooth is not usable on my Windows 10 gaming pc. It seems okay and latency isn't an issue from what I can tell, but about every 5 minutes you'll lose control for a good 6-7 seconds. Maybe this could be fixed with a software update, but both my controller and the Bluetooth drivers on my computer are up to date. The wireless USB module took care of this. Just sucks always having one more USB drive being used. My A button stuck down for a brief moment twice. I'm hoping this doesn't get worse. The Good The case with the charger built in is a nice touch. The USB cable that comes with it is awesome. Feels very good in the hand. Has a dense solid feel, very quality build to it. The grips are much improved over the V1 Elite controller, which I've used for the last 3 years, that reduce sweating in the palms greatly. The new triggers are fantastic. The old, large ones are terrible by comparison on the last gen. The tension screws on the joysticks, wow! What a feature. I love that! Tool included and takes seconds to adjust. I now have my right stick on max resistance and I can aim so much better than before. Overall, I like the controller. The biggest concern is the sticky buttons at this point. If it continues I'll be replacing it with another one and if that one fails I'll wait until the 3rd generation. The first generation is still working well enough to get me by.
