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 controller is an amazing controller and it feels amazing. I gave it a 3 star because if you already own the first elite controller it’s not worth the upgrade

    Pros -Best feeling controller I have ever had. Fine controller, smooth, and great grip. Hair triggers are super nice. Cons- Left stick drift that started out as a very minor problem, them developed into a huge problem that custom joystick settings with huge deadspace eventually didnt even work.. This progressed over a single week..

    This is the only controller I use now. I buy extra sticks and color matching stuff on Amazon but for any competitive games this helps me not use “claw grip” I am not sure why controllers do not come like this standard though.

    High end controller. It does make a difference when playing COD and even regular games. It will be a good addition for the next Tekken 8.

    I would like the A,X,Y,B to be quite a bit more responsive and not so nitpickey about how they are pressed. The overall feel and ability to customize how the controller plays are absolutely superb.
