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.

    The Elite 2 controller is THE BEST controller EVER! The only negative is that it's some who have said it breaks down and some who haven't had any issues. So with that i'd say PLEASE if you get this controller. Please get the WARRANTY.

    couldn't be happier with this item I'm a PC gamer who in rare cases prefer the conformity of a controller over mouse and keyboard.

    So when I finally got my hands on the series x I bought a second controller so my son and I could play. The x box controllers are great! This controller is a total game changer. If you play FPS games having those paddles on the back will automatically up your game. This thing feels rock solid! I love that you can set the trigger distance, that was a big plus! Bottom line I would have went straight to this controller! It rocks!

    Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.

    Controller is solid and overall the best xbox controller out right now. I only use two back buttons. If you’re looking for 4 back buttons, I’d suggest the Scuf Instinct Pro. Would also suggest getting the 2 year warranty from Best Buy because controllers are prone to having sticky buttons and stick drift over time.

    Best gaming controller. May seem expensive but I’ve bought scuff controllers and they do not seem to last long and fhey cost double the price of these. Love the interchangeable attachments the elite 2 controller comes with, its as if its made to be customizable to fit your gaming needs. 10/10 would recommend to any xbox or PC player
