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 have the original Elite controller and it’s still working great except I wish the rubber grips were not peeling off. This new Elite controller is better in every way than the original. It has better rubber grips which look like they will never peel, hopefully. It has a built in battery and a charger built into the case. I also think the buttons feel better too. Hopefully it holds up over time. For now, I highly recommend it.

    So many things you can do with this controller that makes it so much better than a regular controller but the stick drift is still there. Wouldn’t recommend long story short

    Love the controller, just not sure white is the best color for me. But for the cost and the customizability it's well worth the money. Warning this is a core controller, doesn't come with the charging dock or attachments. So make sure you have those before buying a core controller.

    I've had this controller for two years, I still haven't had a single issue with it. I love the ability to customize the buttons on the back to whatever you want. It made my apex plays even crispier. Thanks for the great tech and quality materials.
