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.

    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.

    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.

    Awesome gift/investment for a gamer. I gifted this to my husband and he has found a controller that adjusts to him since you can use it based on your own preference. He is obsessed with this, and he’s not going back to the older versions. It’s awesome !!

    Best controller imo hands down for any console. I use this on PC, even though I have a ps5 I can say this controller is the bees knees. still using it years later. Geeksquad replacement is worth it to get a $200 controller brand new 2 years later

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    Nice feeling controller. Feels very sturdy. Comes with a charging dock and the ability to switch between Bluetooth for PC and then back to Xbox. Only gets 2 stars as the left bumper stopped working within about a week of purchase. Seems to be a common problem with this controller.
