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 ever. I've used the series 1 and other normal controllers. These one is hands down amazing. Grip around the whole thing. Rechargeable battery that can dock inside the case with the charger coming in through the back. Adjustment tool to loosen or tighten the sticks. 1/4 pull on the triggers instead of a half pull. Whole thing feels sturdy with a nice weight to it. How many normal controllers have you purchased? 2 or 3? Could of bought this and definitely should. Stop buying crappy controllers.

    So far, I can say I really enjoy this controller. It fixed many of the minor issues with the elite 1. The controller itself is the size of the average Xbox one controller. The grips feel natural and don't get in my way. The paddels, even though I don't use them, seem like they would be comfortable for someone who uses them. The battery lasts an incredible amount of time before it needs a charge, which can be charged in the case with the attached usb-c cable. Overall, I am happy I bought the elite 2, which is worth the money.

    Not as pricey as the full elite controller, but has the same great build quality and heft with the option to add accessories later. Feels good in the hand, can be customized with the app, and has an awesome color scheme. I love it!

    Great choice of you want extra paddles for playing games, would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for stick drift within a few months depending on what you play and how often I'm sure. Fix that and it would be 5 stars for sure!

    The elite 2 separates itself with the extra paddles on the back. The layout and feel of these extra paddles are much better than other controllers. The programmable profiles are a nice feature as well. If you are a heavy gamer I would opt for the warranty.

    This is without a doubt a better feeling design then the first Elite controller. It has 3 positions for controller config potions, and the grips on the handles have a softer bump fell to them. The paddles on the bottom also feel better, a little more tucked in and out of the way. Also love the blacked out look of the controller. Just hope that the right and left bumper do better then the first Elite controller, Had to get mine fixed/replaced twice because they failed to work.

    It might be a bit hard to swallow the extra cost of this controller but it is well worth the price. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, shape, and weight of the controller especially if you have been using the standard controller for a long time. Love that you can customize the buttons and triggers to your liking as well as the config of the buttons. An extra bonus is the battery life (which I didn't expect).

    I have tried other controllers and I keep coming back to the elite series. I just love the feel. What time does u s officials and the quality of build. I was lucky to catch it on sale. So it's a even better persistence when can get it out of discount and price.

    Despite the drift you may or may not get with analog sensors; this is still the best pro controller you can use. Very premium feeling and thumbstick tension is great when you dial it in.

    - Great customization for a personalized easier experience - Very durable inputs but edges of rubber tend to unglue. - Thumb stick grooves go away slowly - Glues for grips way better the Elite 1 (I Play a lot)

    If your looking to expand what you can do in games I say go for it. I bought just for Apex & it gets the job done plus more. Back triggers help keep me in game without extra finger movment. No stick drift. Fist perfectly in my hand. It's just a step up from the normal controller.

    Controller feels great and the weight makes it feel premium. Bought the controller for the rear buttons and it works well. Xbox controller software lets you tune the controller to your liking. May be on the expensive side because a regular Xbox controller functions the same minus the back buttons and the tuning capability.
