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 recently switched over to Xbox and this is by far the best gaming controller I've ever used. It's hard for me to play with any other controller once I used this. Completely worth the money!

    Very good controller when it works. I would rate higher but it has problems with stick drift, buttons getting stuck and/or double click. If you buy, make sure you have a warranty.

    Almost Perfect

    While its a great controller it does have its problems. Mine worked great for literally 31 days and the right trigger started creaking when in hair trigger mode. Wasn't necessarily a big deal because it still worked BUT being the controller is 225 after tax and almost 300 with warranty (which yes, you should absolutely buy as I have it) youd expect some rigid materials that can stand the test of time and practical use. 4 out of 5 for me. If youre lucky and get a model thats perfect, its the best controller on the planet. Hands down. With geek squad protection you can just get it swapped out and continue trucking.

    Very sturdy controller. I do have latency issues sometimes when gaming but its not terrible. I had this controller for about 2 months now and game about 4 to 8 hrs a week and have yet to recharge it.

    Controller is excellent for gamers. Love how it can be modified and fitted to your individual game play needs. Carry case and accessories are all very well bit and in my opinion worth the money.

    bought this controller used it for 2 weeks and the rumble on one side started to make a high hz noise and weaker rumble then the other. If not for that the controller and case are great.

    Love/Hate Relationship with these controllers. Without a doubt better than any aftermarket controllers (Scuf). Purchased to replace a worn out Elite Series 2. Unfortunately right out of the box the back button broken.

    Very solid and premium feel. With the long battery and solid build quality I could not find any faults. Probably hard to justify the price but as far as controllers go I am not sure there is any better out there currently.

    I had the series 1 elite controller, but the series 2 is a huge step up. Integrated battery, extra customization options, and a wireless charging option - I was sold
