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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    It's awesome, but do yourself a favor & get some kind of extended warranty. Tends to wear out quickly. I've replaced a couple over the past 2 yrs.

    I've had this controller for a few weeks and have learned to love this thing. I use it for first person shooters and have had great success in using the extra buttons. Unfortunately my left stick has went out and now has constant stick drift. I am a little sad because I am returning the controller even though there is no stock to get another one. I know this is a fluke so I will definitely be getting another Elite 2 controller. I just wished the first one worked
