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.

    You can’t go wrong with a classic. I’ve tried other controllers over the years that are cheaper and supposedly higher quality. I’ve tried off brand, standard on brand, wired, wireless. I always come back to this.

    Okay first things first, this controller is great. I’ve used SCUF in the past, and they always seemed to have a defect pretty early on in their life cycle.. Dealing with their customer service was always a hassle. These controllers typically last me a couple years, the main thing that seems to go out on them periodically is the Right and Left bumpers for whatever reason.. They still work technically, but seem to double click after awhile. Only game it’s really an issue in is Fortnite when switching weapons.. Otherwise I love the grip and the battery has a pretty decent longevity between charges. Definitely recommend picking up the 2 years GSP with this one. Your future self will thank you!

    This controller has sveral more functions than the standard remote which makes it more entertaining while playing games. Giving you more abilites and control of the game makes it well worth the money. The battery lasts a long time and I have not had it die on me yet. I definitely recommed.

    This controller has been amazing to use. I was using a ps5 controller for my pc but this xbox controller blew that right out of the water. Perfect grips stay stiff in your hand, adjustable triggers, and easy connectivity. Highly recommend for a true gamer

    This controller is great! Love the adjustable to ensuon on the thumbsticks. Feels sturdy and controls are snappy. Shoulder buttons feel a bit flimsy, probably wouldn't survive landing directly on them in a fall, but that is no different than any other MS controller. Handle grips feel a bit sticky, but easy to grasp overall. Battery life is absolutely insane! Used it for 2 weeks on a full charge before it even indicated it was running low. Would recommend!

    Great controller overall. Comfortable in my hands and the additional buttons are a game changer. My last one was one of the white variants that doesn’t come with the accessories. That controller developed stick drift within a year when I’ve never had that problem with the all back controller. Maybe I got a defective item or maybe the white controllers use a different part. Anyway these usually last a couple years before I return them under warranty.

    Fantastic controller, kind of annoying how you can’t lock the magnetic joysticks or d-pad in place. Sometimes you can easily flick them off, specifically the joysticks.

    Not as crisp as a complete one, but it is just as serviceable as one. I haven't had connectivity issues and it feels fine.
