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.

    Just bought it, but it seems like a nice replacement for my old Elite v1 that had some sticking buttons.

    OMG!!! The features of this controller are like non I've seen. I love the hair trigger settings (Very useful in COD) and the ability to map the x-y-b-a buttons to paddles under the controller are outstanding. The different thumbsticks help with customization and there are three different sensitivity settings on the thumbsticks. I scoffed at spending this kind of money on a controller, but worth every penny. Even for a part time gamer....

    I love how the controller feels but that's about it. Right out of the box the ABXY buttons will randomly double-input.

    I was not expecting to love this controller as much as I do. My experience with different games and how you can have 3 different types of settings for different games is awesome. You can also have the light different color.

    Feels good but not reliable. Had to exchange on before 24 hours left stick broke with light use and second exchange had a bad drift out the box. Unfortunate because when it does work fine its great but poorly put together

    Feels like an elite controller. I was happy to purchase this at a discount. It works very well. Feels expensive and smooth. That is just out of the box. It has multiple triggers you can add as well as different knobs.

    Great remote! But get it with a warranty. They tend to give out one or another after 8 months or so.
