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.

    It’s good and this one doesn’t drift as much as last one but it’s a $100 for me to be recommended for anyone.

    It is currently June 2024 and I purchased the controller in October of 2023. Very early on I noticed stick drift on one of the analog sticks. Now the RB button has to be pushed extremely hard to register, and even then it sometimes doesn't work. I take very good care of my things and the controller has never been dropped or damaged in any way. I play anywhere from 5-10 hours a week.

    Absolutely love this controller. Once you use it you won’t go back to the regular controls. I play apex and the paddles help when using heals.

    Playing FPS game and the Y button won't register the push to change weapons while in firefights unless i very carefully and firmly press the center. I'm hoping this is just a bad/defective unit, but only option is to return without a replacement since Best Buy has no stock available. Otherwise the controller feels wonderful and plays great, but not registering every button push on a nearly $200 controller is not acceptable.
