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.

    The customization this controller allows will take your gaming to the next level. The build quality makes it feel like it should cost much more than it does and I am still finding new ways to make it my own after several months. Don’t miss out!

    I got this controller on the day it came out and since then it has been holding up very well, I love the battery life much better than last year dont have to charge as often, the remapping of the buttons and creating profile for certain games has made me a much more aggressive and faster gamer.

    Love everything about this controller, do wish could have more controller over program two or three commands to one trigger or quick access to start a recording, but no complaints I love the feel and weight so much I unfortunately hate playing with a regular controller.

    This is a great controller. Customizable in many ways, with my fav being the ability to make the triggers into hair triggers with a simple switch on the bottom of the controller. I love that it's rechargeable and contains the built-in charger in the carrying case.

    Build quality is amazing. It comes in a nice carrying case that has a cutout in the back to allow you to charge it while it’s in the case. Took a little getting used to the back triggers but once you do it’s a game changer. I primarily use mine for cod. Not having to take my thumb off the stick to jump or crouch has improved my gameplay by a mile.
