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.

    Premium controller for Xbox. This controller has four remappable back buttons. The build quality is metal and durable plastic. Altogether no expenses spared, grab it on a sale to make it worth your money. If you want it for PC, grab the dongle for the wireless experience.

    A and B button miss inputs right out of the box. Absolutely no quality control at Microsoft. They just took some old controllers that didn't sell and slapped them in new packaging and called it "Core"

    This controller is good, but for the price I believe and have a few more qualities and customizations on mapping I think the controller has capability. They just need to update the accessories app on Xbox.

    BUY THE GEEK SQUAD COVERAGE

    Excellent construction and pairs easily with my PC. I use this controller primarily for manual driving in racing games but serves perfectly fine for all types of games. The assignable paddles make customization an absolute breeze! **Warning** These have a tendency to fail in the first year so I recommend buying the Geek Squad coverage to protect your investment!

    I've had several custom controllers from other companies and they just don't hold up and they are actually more expensive if you want to get on the same level as this one. I strongly suggest you get this product if you are looking for custom buttons.

    RB button stops registering every once in a while. I use it for light gaming and have not dropped. I had an abused Razer wolverine for years and it never stopped working. The small cover for the trigger adjustment fell off as well, i only adjusted it one time when i first got it.
