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.

    My kids liked that they could adjust things to what they wanted it to be. They were disappointed it is only rechargeable because they don’t want it to die in the middle of a game. We will see what happens.

    seems sturdy, grip seems better, it is expensive though and internal battery only will likely break later. Beware.
