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.

    Excellent controller. Buy the geek squad replacement with it so you can get a new one in 2 years when something goes wrong.

    Favorite controller I've ever used. Easy to reassign button configs from Xbox or PC. Wish the thumbsticks / springs lasted a bit longer before the inevitable drift.. but customizable dead zones allow you to eek a little more life out of them. Pro Tip: Purchase with a product replacement plan ;D
