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.

    If you are a pro gamer then this is a must have for PC or XBOX. Just giving 4 starts because it's still too pricey and would like to see some more dynamic designs of the controller than the classic skin it comes with.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.

    Out of the "High end" controllers, this one ranks best for functionality and ease of use. The extra bits for the button re-mapping and trigger stops, along with the joystick tensioner make a difference in game

    Perhaps it's just mental, but having the pro controller, that's wired to the consul, makes me feel that there's no delay, and the performance shows ( probably just mental, but I like it).

    Searched for best gaming controller for PC because I'm not good with mouse and keyboard and this came up. Worked out well since I have an Xbox Series X so I get to use it for both now. It was a little adjustment for Playstation but I wouldn't go back now.

    Awesome gift/investment for a gamer. I gifted this to my husband and he has found a controller that adjusts to him since you can use it based on your own preference. He is obsessed with this, and he’s not going back to the older versions. It’s awesome !!

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    My husband is a little boy when it comes to playing video games lol. I recently got him an x box one for his birthday and it only came with one controller so I purchased this controller as a second controller and now all his homeboys have bought one cause they love it as well.
