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 would recommend this to a friend Not worth the $$$
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was super stoked to get this controller because I enjoy using paddles on my controller. However, I've only had it for about 3 months and the left bumper has already failed me. It has stopped working completely. Would not recommend it for an avid competitive player.

Husband Christmas present
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s perfect my husband absolutely loves it. Best!
I would recommend this to a friend It’s all about the grips.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After burning through three elite controllers in as many years thanks to their rubberized grips coming undone, I’m hopeful this new design holds. There is a seam on the inside now, but the stress bubble portion of the outer grips is now solid. I do like the feel of the new triggers better, but my previous ones never gave out so I can only say it’s a minor improvement. Loved my old elites, so if the grips hold up now, I’m sure to love these. So far, really like them.

Best Controller period!!!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love playing in my pc or xbox with this controller! Sony should make an elite controller for playstation.
I would recommend this to a friend Just Buy It!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hesitated for the longest time as whether to pick this up since, yes, it is a bit pricey. However, I have no regrets having owned now for several months. Very premium feel to it from the grips, buttons, triggers...just all around. I have had family members who have gone on to buy it after having used mine. Quality also feels solid so I'm hoping it will give me a few years of usage!
