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.

    Best controller there is. I first needed to exchange it because one button was double clicking but great ever since!

    This is a great controller. It's a little bit bigger and feels more sturdy. Took a min to get used to the tiny size difference. So far no issues. I love the triggers ypu can add as well as the different settings you can set . I also love that we can connect to phones as well.

    fantastic. i love playing elden ring with this and brawlhalla. the paddles really help to accidentally jolt off a cliff with torrent and screw up my combos and such. i'm sure it'll have some use to it. really like the option to change the trigger pull. i keep it real short for easy spamming. setup was kind of difficult. i had to download these sketcy programs and update it. idk. once it started to properly work it was good

    This is the 2nd controller purchased and within year buttons are coming off, same thing happened with last one. Other than that controller worked great, but don't want to have to keep buying a new controller due to same issue.
