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 was hesitant at first to spend the money on this controller but I have to admit that it has made a difference and enabled me to play faster.

    I purchase this to replace my wired XBox 360 controller for the PC. As my review title states, this is a great buy. The Build quality is superb, this really complements my Razer Blade Stealth and I also use this for the Project XCloud. I really cannot complain anything, some will say the price, but as noted the quality is excellent. I recommend this for people who likes to play games and have a job to actually buy it without whining.

    Perfect controller. This is my second elite controller. I still have the first, I just wanted a spare. Feels solid. The only difference is that this does not come with the carrying case or the back paddles. I got back paddles elsewhere for $15.

    This controller is dope. Easy to customize and can get same tuning than scuff controllers. Its great for PC and first person shooters with the back paddles. Really easy to remap and customize as desired. Long battery life and grip feels nice. Comfortable to use for long periods of gaming sessions. No need for Kontrol Freak thumsticks.

    Works amazingly with many different options for customization. Additionally you have the ability swap out your joysticks for different play styles to reach the optimal results you desire. This controller will also maintain a charge for significantly longer than other controller's.

    I finally decided to buy this controller and i love the options this controller allows you to configure. I play call of duty modern warefare on the xbox and i wanted an extra perk. This control allows me to configure the paddles to slide, duck, laydown and jump without having to move my right thumb. If you are good enough or get use to using the paddles you can fly through the game. Its fun to innovate and change up the standard experience in these games. I would recommend it if you have the money to upgrade your controller.

    Stick drift, buttons breaking from simple use (triggers and peices rattling) all the common issues from a classic xbox controller but in a more expensive package. Go buy a scuff controller with Hall Effect joysticks and mechanical buttons instead.

    Nicest controller so far, but it died way sooner than I expected. It hasn't died completely, but it just keeps blinking and doesn't connect. And the none elite controller also broke but because of another flimsy excuse.

    Great Product. Don’t have to continually buy a new controller because of the analogs. All pieces of controller can be switched out. Definitely worth the money

    If you buy this, you might as well buy two, or absolutely have a warranty. Sturdy and definitely improves ability, but it's a roulette whether the controller will gave stick drift out of the box or not. If you want to shell out more money, get a SCUF

    Controller has been fantastic, I have been using it for almost a year up until recently when I started getting stick drift and even with the customization of the controller I am not able to fix it. I recommend getting the protection plan as the manufacturer's warranty won't replace it.

    Completely changes how you game. I primarily use it for FPS, and with the heightened thumbsticks your aim can increase substantially. The paddles give you the ability to never remove your thumb from the joystick, which is mainly why I got this one, and is a huge plus. The ability to customize trigger sensitivity and stop position also helps a lot. The overall build is very well constructed. No issues structurally what so ever. I highly recommend this controller if you want to give yourself a little extra edge in your gameplay.
