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.

    Great controller, but a heads up that the bumpers will wear out over time. Make sure you get the extended warranty, and you should be ok.

    This controller is a vast improvement over the original. The paddles feel better and being able to adjust stick tension is a nice improvement. Textured triggers are better as well. Hopefully no build quality issues like the first one.

    Great controller to have, comes in handy. However it tends to wear fairly easily. The buttons/connections wear out and can’t be used after some time, forcing you to use the built in paddles. Then the paddles wear out and you can’t use them. If you buy this controller I HIGHLY recommend getting the protection plan for it.

    Love the paddles and the design. However, the controller disconnects from my Xbox randomly and the RB button often is jammed or hard to use which messes me up while playing competitive games. Other than that it’s a great controller…. Just maybe not worth the price for the issues.

    I've always like Xbox controllers since I have bigger hands so they're more comfortable. And this is no exception. However, I've never had a controller get stick drift so fast. That and it sometimes disconnects while in use. Went and bought an 8 BitDo Ultimate instead and much prefer that.
