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 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.

    This controller is amazing, so much customization and the build quality is fantastic. I’ve heard there are problems with it breaking down the road so I purchased the extended warranty.

    Red is my favorite color, When this was on sale I had to buy it. I'm glad they make these without all the other accessories and cheaper because I already had a broken controller and didn't need all the extras!

    This controller has some definite improvements from the series 1. The charging port is easy to use and the battery is long-lasting. Most of the features feel the same when playing, which is still good quality.

    Pricey so try to catch it on sale. But after using this controller It’s hard to use a standard one again. Definitely recommend pairing with the Microsoft Windows dongle for PC Gaming.

    Very slightly smaller profile with some nice enhancements over the V1, certainly more durable. Comes with a charging stand as well. Pricey, yes, but worth the investment imo.
