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.

    Pinnacle of gaming controllers. Textured grips for a nice comfortable feel. Adjustable stick tension for increased/decreased sensitivity. Back paddles that provide extra buttons which in turn give more versatility. Trigger stops that give you a more intense and short haired pull for a the gamers who need that split second reaction time. All in all, just an excellent gaming controller to take your performance to the next level.

    I have hear all the negativity concerning this controller which made me very hesitant to purchase. I've had it now for just over a month and all I can say is so far so good. It feels great in the hands and the buttons/paddles are super sensitive which I love. I cant speak for all who purchased this controller but I've had zero problems. Because of all the bad reviews I did purchase the warranty to go with it so I have that extra security. All in all I would highly recommend.
