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.

    I love my elite controller and wouldn’t go back to regular one, but if you’re a heavy player I’d suggest getting warranty. The actual controller bumpers tend to break fairly quickly and I hope they build something more durable in the next gen. Also wished they add more colors/customization.

    Definitely a fantastic controller whether you’re using it for your Xbox or Pc. Grips are great, its a good feel. Like that it you can adjust how firm the joysticks can be. Adjustable triggers as well obviously. Only negative is that maybe size of my hands but I accidentally hit the trigger switches that control how far it travels by accident sometimes. And the fact it doesn’t come with the case and extra accessories is unfortunate

    Best controller I’ve ever used. Carrying case is awesome, customization is great, and I couldn’t be happier. I really love the weight of it compared to the regular Series X controller as well.

    When I use a controller I always end up switching back to this one. Premium quality and build. Map one of the paddles to l3 for gpa games and you’ll never experience drift.

    This is very cool. Just for the packaging it is amazing. It comes in a very nice case with everything and not having to buy any other accessories. The back paddles are amazing and the customizable system is amazing. Overall this is amazing.

    My favorite feature os the 30hr battery and the build quality. Seems like such a better deal than Sony’s 200 dollar contraller that dies after 2 hrs.

    The blue looks nice and clean. Even the home X button is a blue X on white background. That combined with some of the black attachments make this controller look really good.
