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.

    Lots of good feature but couldn’t get past the size of it, too small. That being said, it had a lot of attachments that made customizing it easy. All in all would recommend if you are okay with the size

    This is a nice controller and a great upgrade from the Series 1. It's a lot better and smoother and fixes a lot of problems from the first version.

    I always like elite controller too. It has its faults if you press down too much on leftstick stick drift after 3 months of hard gaming only. When I say hard gaming no Job I always buy the two-year warranty because I use it every three months. I wish they would make the sticks out of titanium or something.
