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.

    Purchased this controller initially on launch (Nov. 4) and after dealing with quality issues on the first generation elite controller, buying the extended Geek Squad protection was a no-brainer. After 6 months i can say my fears were confirmed, my controller began suffering severe stick drift in my right stick and loss of registration in RB. It’s a bit embarrassing to have these issues only 6 months in, especially on a controller I spent $180 on. Now that my replacement is being shipped to me, all I can do is hope for the best. But you can bet your bottom dollar I bought that extended warranty again

    I love this for customizing game play. This allows you to tailor your controller to each came. Only three slots can be active at any one time, but you can make many profiles for different games. It even have the option to turn of the profiles so in reality you can have standard, and 3 customized slots with the push of a button without going into settings.
