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.

    Second Controller purchased in two years. The price being so high makes it frustrating that it didn't last longer.

    This controller is fantastic, you take advantage of trigger stops, paddles and can deviate your opponent’s in any game due to those features quick reloading with out taking your finger off the trigger

    The Elite controller is very high quality. The first time you hold it in your hands, it is obviously much better than the entry level controller...... then you actually use it! Much more precise controls! A little price, but you will like it.

    The controller is pretty great, works very well and the battery lasts long enough to play for hours a day. The charger cord included is very long and all the accessories very much improve the quality.

    This newest version of the Elite is great! It's much better than my other Elite. I've had zero connection/audio issues so far. I love the shorter trigger lock adjustment. The paddles are shorter too so I won't have to take a grinder to them like the first version.

    Works great. This is my 3rd Elite. Wore the other 2 out. Like the black and white colors. All paddles and sticks from the 2nd controller fit this one fine.

    Comfortable and responsive! Customization was never easier and the longer thumb-stick helps when playing Forza.
