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.

    The elite controller is one of the nicest controllers made but with a bunch of annoying flaws. This version 2 has a ton of things improved on it that are much needed. The internal battery is honestly a downgrade for longevity for when it goes bad you'll have to tear it down to replace it. I'd prefer the AA's all day for longevity. otherwise amazing controller.

    I bought this for PC and I'm pretty thoroughly disappointed. First off, the controller does not stay connected via Bluetooth. It disconnects frequently. I don't have this problem with any other Bluetooth device including other controllers. I have a dedicated BT module and antenna. Second, the controller I received has the annoyingly unresponsive 'A' button. If you hit the button from the wrong angle it just does not work. So even if I wanted to connect the controller via the cable(I don't) it still wouldn't be a good device. Both of these problems are known issues but I thought they might have been fixed with this revision of the controller. Sadly that isn't the case. I'll be returning this. - Windows 10 latest version - Controller firmware updated - Don't have problems with any other Bluetooth devices(including controllers)

    I got this Remote Controller for my Xbox. However, after getting my gaming PC recently, I found that it works well with it. I especially like the back paddles and the fact that you can customize them to whatever button you want. The controller feels solid and comfortable on my hands. I do not think I will be going back to any other controller after using the Elite 2

    An over-priced must-have

    I feel like these should be cheaper, but straight up - once you've played with an Elite controller, you can't go back to a regular one. Fair warning - I'm on my 3rd one, you get right about 2 years out of it with moderate use.
