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.

    Best controller Ive owned to date…Has nice weight to it and feels durable…. I know most people complain about this controller having durability issues but I have not had any issues yet. BUT I also take care of my things, and have not dropped it since I’ve owned it.

    I tried to play black ops 3 with a pa5 remote but found out they’re not compatible as the game is too old. Xbox controller works on every game and feels smoother.

    Works well. Is comfortable when using for long gaming sessions. Only issue is we only had it for a couple months and the right bumper went out. But Best Buy was great working with us. An we got it replaced no problem.

    This is my third elite controller. They last about 1.5 years with daily use. If you have the only black one get this, move your paddles over and save money.

    Love it! I was between this and a SCUF controller. This is the much better option in my opinion especially for a $50+ difference ( i got it for $158 and got the extended replacement and was still cheaper and my feeling is much better built.) The case that comes with holds the extra parts and charges the controller.

    Great controller, only problem I have with these Xbox and playstation controllers is drifting on the PlayStation and the RB and LB on the elite controller sometimes are non functioning. Had to buy a new one.

    Feels great to hold the battery last for a solid 16 hours with a headset hooked up to it the adjustable triggers are great for shooters the paddles save you precious milliseconds in online shooters

    Best controller on the market and I’ve tried quite a few. I enjoy the accurate and tight control playing COD. This is my third purchase. These controllers aren’t built to last imo. Performance seems to falloff after three or four months of casual pay. I’d recommend getting a warranty so you don’t have to keep replacing it.

    This controller is better than I expected. It’s easy to customize once you download the software, and it makes gaming competitively even more fun with a controller!
