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.

    Could be a great controller. Mine had an issue where the left stick wouldn't register "up" fully. So I'd push up fully, and the app / game would only see half. This would be fine if this 'modular' controller was easy to open and clean/fix. Instead, it's sealed, so it has to be returned.

    Weight feels premium, I love the rubber on the hand grips. The adjustable triggers are great for Call of Duty and other FPS shooters. The small metal details all over really make it feel like an upgrade over the standard. The built in rechargeable battery and USB - C charging are great and the battery life is long. The only issue I had was that the X button was sticking slightly when I first received the controller however that issue resolved itself and the controller has been great since.

    I have bigger hands so I find this controller to fit in my hand well. I use it to play on my gaming PC and iPad Pro. The xbox accessories app helps with mapping the controller and you are able to save up to 3 different profiles based in what you need. I did not need to bug the paddles for extra customization on the back of the controller but it has the options available to you. You can switch modes to change how deep upu have to squeeze the back triggers to avoid wear and tear or responsiveness. Very easy to set up on Windows and even IOS. I expected it to give me a bit of trouble linking to my iPad but i was pleased to see it did not. All in all, I really enjoy the controller. I also, find the vattery life on it on a full charge quite long. Most times i use it for a couple of days before I plug it back in to charge.

    Love the look and feel of the elite Controller and the built in rechargeable battery and life is great. The customization of the controller is also great. Now for the bad news this will always break and usually in under a year so you must get an extended warranty to make this product work. I have had 10 of these of which I bought 2 so I could have a backup when the other one is getting replaced or fixed. They break easily because they are so heavy you absolutely can. It drop them period. Stick drift is also very common and I probably put more tension than most on the sticks. I only recommend these if you get them on sale under 100 bucks and also if an extended warranty is available at a good price, otherwise do not buy. I will say this is the last pair I will buy and will try a higher quality brand in the future.

    These are hands down better than the controller that comes with the system. If you already own the pro version with the charging station and the triggers this is a good second elite. If you don't care about the charging station or the back trigger's than this is a good option but I personally use the back trigger's and I like the ability to go into the Xbox and change the buttons and controller light colors. Only thing I would suggest is to purchase the warranty as they can break. They really need to use more stronger bumper buttons and better sticks as these eventually will get drift. But if it does under warranty then just return it for a new one.

    BEST CONTROLLER FOR FPS ESPECIALLY APEX LOL

    so just to put this out there i am mkr being paid for this review. So i have tried many pro controllers in the past from scuf, turthe beach and dualsense edge and this by far is the best one as far as responsiveness, comfort and grip, and the 4 mappable back paddles, and interchangable thumbsticks which is why i settled on this one for my FPS games like Apex Legends and The Finals, ive pesosnlly seen a great improvemnt in my gameplay espcially tracking and aiming, granted skill plays a huge part but having a controller like this keeps my thumbs on the sticks at all times with the rear paddles. I reccmomend it, you can use it on xbox series X/S and also on PC, works great with handheld PCs like ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. If the price tag is a bit much i reccomend waiting for a sale or just buy a second hand one like i did from Best Buy i paid 110 for mine its practically new no issues 3 months in.

    Good option for PC players, paddles sold separatel

    I play on PC and this is a great, comfortable controller with good weight to it. However, the extra paddles are sold separately. If you buy them you can use the Xbox software to create a profile and map the paddles to any button, however it does not look like you can mark them on their own, which would be amazing. The feel is definitely premium and there is some grip on the handles. Everything about the feel is fantastic, including the ability to modify the pressure required on your trigger buttons. Battery life has been great, though I tend to charge frequently anyway. Playing on PC I thought I'd be using the Bluetooth connectivity... however I've found that Bluetooth is not the most reliable in terms of registering quick inputs like in a fast pace video game as it would just miss button pressed entirely. Connecting the controller with a cable fixes the issue and everything operates perfectly, though. I think it's just an issue with Bluetooth as my keyboard does the same thing on Bluetooth mode. Overall, great controller to use on PC. It feels fantastic in the hand and operates great when wired. Bluetooth is a nice backup but the missed button pressed will definitely be noticed quickly.
