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.

    Perhaps it's just mental, but having the pro controller, that's wired to the consul, makes me feel that there's no delay, and the performance shows ( probably just mental, but I like it).

    Overall this is a solid controller and feels great in the hand, the one downfall is when it gets stick drift and you’re unable to fix it in the settings. Other than that the controller is worth it given the hefty price tag.

    Huge improvement from the first series. Worth just under $100. Should probably be a but cheaper since no paddles are included.

    Best controller for Xbox gaming. Vast improvement from the 1st gen elite controller, and is an excellent addition for the Xbox series X. Mapping is easy and better life is perfect. This is a brilliant piece of hard wear for any elite gamer.

    Absolutely love this thing. Its significantly cheaper than a scuff or a battle beaver, but it has the same (if not, better) build quality. Battery life is also unmatched

    Got this controller on a sale and have not been disappointed. However be wary that these and most other controllers do get the joystick drift at some point.

    If you are a pro gamer then this is a must have for PC or XBOX. Just giving 4 starts because it's still too pricey and would like to see some more dynamic designs of the controller than the classic skin it comes with.

    Controller is awesome. Battery charge lasts for days at a time and that is with hours of game play. I like that you can chage the joysticks, paddles and Tpad easily all magnetized, easy on and off. The case to hold and charge controller is very sturdy and holds everything. Would definitly recommend

    Much Better than the TB stealth Ultra

    I swapped from the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller, and haven’t regretted it a bit. My only complaint is that I lost my capture button because it was replaced with the profile swap button, and I have no way to remap it. But the ability to use one of the paddles as a function key, allowing the other buttons to have dual uses, depending on if the function button is pressed or not, made it not that big of a deal.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.

    Searched for best gaming controller for PC because I'm not good with mouse and keyboard and this came up. Worked out well since I have an Xbox Series X so I get to use it for both now. It was a little adjustment for Playstation but I wouldn't go back now.
