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 in store service. Wish there was a better way to track in store inventory as I was told on the app they had some in hand but was told I had to order. I know in todays world is hard to track but it would be very convenient to make it more reliable as a consumer.

    After using this controller for only a short time, I have only good things to say about it. Although a bit on the high side of price for a controller. The build quality, performance, and all around appearance is outstanding and well worth the money. I would definitely recommend this for any Xbox users and PC users who play on controller, a HUGE improvement over any other controller on the market.

    The only downside does not come with rear bumpers. Other than that, it is still worth the upgrade.

    The case acts as a charging cradle. The buttons are interchangeable and the sentisitivy is adjustable with a tiny hex bit included in the kit. If you are a first person shooter fan, this is your best option.
