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.

    Worth the money—this is my second one in 6 years so even though it is double the price of the regular controller, it lasts way longer

    Elite Series 2 controller is very solid, and feels very good in my hands. The customization is good to set up your controller to your style of play, and when not playing a shooter your can put to respond like a regular controller to play Madden. So you have two controllers in one if you want to compete or not this controller is a must have. Money well spent.

    Definitely packaged awesome! The controller itself is heavier than standard ones which is good. Controller has so many options you can change that it’s slightly overwhelming but once you understand everything it’s one of the best! Love mine!

    Feels great, looks great. Easily the worst controller I've ever used. If it was $20 I would be irritated, but $200? Buttons don't work, stick drift, and rubber grips WILL peel off over time. It really is shocking they are still selling this.

    First, I really like the feel and functionality of this controller. It has great adjustments, but is not durable at all. Ive only used it for a few weeks and it already has stick drift. Quite a letdown.

    Great controller however I have had to repair it myself a couple of times due to dust build up on certain buttons but very straight forward the customization of it is unbeatable.

    Good controller! Could be a user issue, but much heavier than PS5. Wears on my knuckles, BUT it’s pure quality.
