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.

    Overall, this controller feels great. The D-pad, adjustable sticks and triggers and rear triggers all give it a very personalized feel. But after reading all the reviews on how good the 'mechanical' XYAB buttons feel, imagine my surprise when they feel super generic and they even get stuck. I haven't spilled or had anything on my hands...fresh out of the box a $200 controller has buttons that stick... If this is just an anomaly and I get a replacement that doesn't do this I would gladly give this 5 stars, but as it is I can't tell you how many times I have died due to this issue.

    I bought this for my nephew for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. It comes with case and a charger. You can set up the charger in the case for charging while not in use. You can change out the pads and change the tension on the triggers. Make this controller adapt to you instead of you adapting to the controller. Very much worth every penny!!!

    My favorite controller with extras this go around the rubber didnt fall off and only one paddle broke after intensive use for 1-2 years. Easy to change layout and has 3 saved controller schemes so less assigning and more playing.
