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 controllers are so great because of the extra weight and the overall feel. Plus the color pops. Worth it if you don’t need the paddles or extra sticks!

    Already have a couple but this one was on sale and i couldn't resist. Solid, well made controller that can be upgraded with paddles and the likes. Way better than the stock controller.

    This is a really nice controller. Smoother and more precise than my old xbox one controllers. Apparently the "Core" version doesn’t come with any parts for some of the extra levers, so I had to drop $20 online for some aftermarket levers for the back of the controller.

    This controller, along with the paddles, takes gaming to another level. If you play any FPS, I recommend buying this controller as you can fine tune the entire controller to your liking.

    This one makes you reevaluate how you’ve been playing, you have so much more control in the joysticks and buttons and trigger leveling infreases your action ratio; cery satisfied how customizable is

    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.

    So far I am very happy with this purchase! All the buttons and triggers feel tight and responsive, stick control so far is flawless. my last controller lasted a little over 1 year until I got the drift so time will tell.

    Best remote I’ve had so far. Buttons are comfortable and easily removable. Battery life is astonishing. Days of play before battery starts to drain. Sturdy with more options opposed to the basic remote. Totally satisfied.
