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.

    I bought this for my husband and he seems to enjoy much more than his regular Xbox controller. The price is a little to high imo but great none the less.

    I had to wait till stores opened back up in order to use the replacement plan I had purchased with the series 1 controller I previously bought my son. After the extra out of pocket cost plus another 2 year replacement, this ended out being a great birthday present for him. I think it has a few more attachments in comparison to the previous series and some more software programming functionality. The 2 year replacement is definitely worth it with the cost of the controller.

    Great product, no slouch just pricey, the 99 dollar sale price is definitely worth it, no controller is worth more than 100, sorry ps dual sense but i say the same about your controller and would rate it even less due to the price

    So I am reviewing this 9 months after purchase. This replaced an elite series 1 controller that had the drift issue with the right stick. This has held up longer, but I now have some drift in the left stick. I don't play rough with the thing so I'm a bit disappointed I'm running into issues already. 90 day warranty is BS... might need to stick with the cheap controllers moving forward...

    Not worth the price. The paddles could be placed better, the controller is noticeably slimmer than the xbox one controller and just doesn’t fill my hands as I’d like. I don’t have large hands either. ABXY buttons aren’t as responsive as the xbox controller either. I can actually press gently press them all the way down without an input being registered and I can’t replicate that on the 50 dollar controller.

    Awesome! If you’re wondering if it’s worth the big price tag, buy it. It’s more configurable than you think and rarely needs charging!
