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.

    Pros: Swappable joysticks plus a tall boi Metal D-pad Grips Bumper buttons have nice indents on them so you can hit them while holding the trigger Case Connects properly over BT to PC reliably and consistently Cons: 2x cost of a regular controller Paddles are meh We'll see how these hold up to long term use since that doesn't seem to be a strong point of Xbox controllers recently

    (I use my Elite controller on PC only) As a PlayStation owner that uses a Scuf controller, the Elite controller is better. Both have the off-set sticks, However, the Scufs back paddles come downward, therefore, only two are easily within quick reach, and the other two are a stretch to reach further inwards. The Elite's 4 back paddles are all placed where your fingers would be naturally, so access to the paddles are much more comfortable by comparison.

    This controller feel great in the hand qnd is easy to use. This completely changes everything when you play competitive games and helps even thinga up a bit in the "cross platform" world. Between never having to pull my fingers from the thumbsticks and the hair triggers you shave enough ms off your actions to give you a greater chance against the PC guys... I dont miss the mouse and keyboard anymore now.
