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.

    This is my favorite controller EVER. I have had 4 of them now and will never try another one. Attempted to use a scuf controller but didnt feel as substantial as the E2. I play a lot of games and they last 8-10 months usually playing 2-3 hours a day.

    This is an incredibly well done accessory. It's intuitive, well thought out, and eminently premium. At $179, it costs a pretty penny, but even then it includes built in charging dock that's integrated into a travel case, so there's even more value then a stock controller.

    My favorite controller EVER! Sadly with the biggest flaw being it falls apart pretty fast. Take very good care of it or make sure to get warranty.

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game.

    Best gaming controller ever

    Plain and simple. Solid, grippy, has a weight, travel case, wireless charge, bye bye battery pack, changeable thumbstick, D-Pad, along with the paddles on the back, adjustable trigger stoppers, USB-C, and custom profiles designed to your own likings. Overall it's a great pickup for your setup or just a controller to experience a different way in gaming era

    Great controller, but flawed

    Such an amazing controller, but still flawed by design quality. Joystick magnets can get a little wonky, and I'm already noticing the grips starting to peel off after not much use. Still, don't regret my purchase at all. They will need to improve to complete with the PS5 controller though...
