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 a great product in every way advertised. I really like the customization that you can do with this and the built in battery. You just have to make sure you can justify the additional money. For me it was worth it. For some it may not be.

    This is a great purchase and I am so happy that comes with the customization that comes with the paddle under it and with the app on my Xbox to make this even more custom, especially with the trigger locks

    Feels amazing. You’ll never go back from using paddles once you get used to it. Left thumb stick stopped working fully after about 6 mo but Xbox repaired it under warranty

    Only major issue is that windows does not like connecting to xbox controllers via Bluetooth I just have a lot of issues. Otherwise this is a great control, lots of customization, and the vase and magnetic charging mount are great

    I was a little worried about by this remote because all my other remotes analogs seem to go out but this one is still holding strong. The grip the material is holding up and I play at least 4 hours a day. Even though it is pricey I highly recommend it.

    I finally managed to talk myself into getting one of these and I have zero regrets. The construction, weight, and responsiveness of this controller is awesome. I love how I can configure it and the weight and feel of it in my hands when I am playing.
