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.

    Really good quality and a good price point if you’ve previously owned an Elite controller before.

    I like the Elite Controller, but the right bumper is damaged and has a lot of friction and Best Buy couldn’t fix it. Except that it’s a dope controller
