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.

    This is honestly the best controller I’ve ever had by far. The joysticks are replaceable and also have tension adjustments. 4 back buttons come in handy when you're trying to do some extra moves when gaming. The only issue I’ve had with 2 different controllers. The RB button seems to be giving out. And this is 2 different controller. I’ve owned this one less that three months and I can see the response missing sometimes. Reliability is important. I’m glad I got the replacement plan cause I’m going to trade this out soon

    Excellent controller but short lifespan. My son loves this controller and says it is the best one he has ever used. Unfortunately it broke after just six months. We bought the protection plan so we should be able to get a new one but will have to pay $60 for another plan for this one. For the price it should last longer than six months. My son does play almost every day but plays sports, hangs out with friends, and goes to school so the controller was not overly used.

    Nothing really negative to say about this controller. Feels very premium. I will say it's hard to avoid stick drift, so get the warranty if available.
