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.

    Great controller! The only reason. I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it drifts on occasion. I use it mainly for FPS games.

    Really good controller. comes with a travel case, docking charger, usb type c connector, and customizable thumb stick pads. highly recommend for games that require fast reflex due to the pads on the backside. The customizable triggers are bonus for fps games, you can tightened down trigger hair to desire.

    I will say this controller is perfect in every way and you'll pay a premium for it. I've used mine for 3 years now and its held up pretty well. I did have to take it apart and follow a tutorial on cleaning the insides specifically the right bumper. It was a pretty simple fix and works like new just need some 90+ alcohol rubbed on the bumper contacts.
