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.

    I like that is heavier and not as slippery as the standard controller. The series 2 is improved but if you're a heavy gamer it will still wear out. But that's what the coverage is for. Also, love that is rechargeable.

    I previously had an original elite controller and this upgrade was well worth it! The battery life on the contained battery lasts longer than other plug and play options. The extra hair trigger makes a big difference too. I love it!!

    The Elite series 2 is a great upgrade over its original model. It feels more tactile and comfortable to hold due to the increased amount of grip. The USB C port is also a great addition that it had over the original.

    Absolutely love this controller! If you have an opportunity to pick one up on sale all the better. You can definitely feel the difference between the regular/standard controller.

    It’s just like the Elite Series 2 controller. The only difference being that you don’t get the additional accessories. I also love the white color.

    Excellent controller wether you are using it on xbox or pc. I like the trigger button set can really turn semi auto weapons to full auto on COD. Easy to sensitivities. Easy to set back buttons also.

    The Series 2 is priced a little high. I absolutely love it tho. You can adjust tension on the joysticks, has 3 different profiles and 3 different quick fire settings. Oh, cant forget the rechargeable battery. Its a gaming must have.
