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.

    My son's series 1 controller stopped working a couple of months ago. We've been waiting for the series 2 to be released. My son seems to like the new one, I didn't see much difference other than the higher price.

    The adjustable tension on the sticks are what I needed. The weight of the controller itself is great. Im actually holding something of value.

    If you’re still using one of those $50 ish controllers save your money for this thing. Best controller I’ve ever owned. The precision is incredible. Feels like a top shelf piece of medical or military gear more than a video game controller.

    Best feeling controller there is. Make sure you get the accessory app to map the buttons. Only complaint is that you need the adapter for it work well wirelessly.

    I bought an Xbox Series X system. Really love it but the controller seemed a bit weak. The buttons were loose, the joysticks were not real tight, and no texture to the body. A friend recommended I buy the Elite Series 2. Oh my gosh!!! The buttons are way better, the joysticks can be tightened or loosened, great texture with no slippage, and extra buttons on the backs. Everything can be programmed and you can setup three different profiles. And I got it on sale!!!!

    Works good, I like all the features and abilities with it but they could work on the quality a little bit more, seems like the buttons aren’t as responsive as they should.

    I really love this controller, just beware that if you play a lot of games some of the buttons wear out. So it is best to get the warranty.

    This is by far the best control I’ve ever owned.! A lot of people have negative reviews or mixed reviews about this so far I haven’t had any problems but that’s why I bought the warranty. But by far it’s the best I’ve ever had!
