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.

    In my opinion, it is the best controller out in the market. I’ve had both the dual shock and a custom scuf controller and I still love the series 2 controller. Their magnetic paddles and removable parts are great designs.

    I had the first elite controller and this is a far superior product. The textures, plastics and finishes are just better. The buttons are clickier. The additional tension features on the sticks are amazing. Just buy it with a warranty.

    Solid controller. Pros: - rechargeable long lasting battery - paddle sticks - exchangeable sticks Cons: - weight - can tend to cause some hand strain given location of paddles ( for me at least)

    It’s a GREAT controller...for as long as it works. Over time you WILL experience stick drift on either or both sticks. You also may experience your bumper buttons double activating when pressed once. It’s random, but when it happens (like switching weapons in fortnite) it’s frustrating. I think I have my shotgun out and I start healing in front of the enemy. Every since elite 1 and 2 controller I’ve had has had problems. Could take weeks, could take months, but it happens. Thank god for geek squad. They have had my back every time. <3

    Was kind of worried that I would get one with issues but I didn't. Every button works. No drift. But, you better tack on the 50 bucks for the warranty.
