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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Love this thing. Bought core then accessories separate so I could have color I wanted. I loved the weight with the paddles. Travel with this and play in my iPad! Has different profiles too

    Since I got the elite controller I never went back to the regular controller, for first person, shooters I use the paddles can’t go back to using the regular buttons on those types of games and it feels good in the hands.

    Pretty durable for clumsy players or short temper players. Plus you can exchange parts to customize or replace damage parts. Also comes with neat feats for competitive gamers

    The product's remarkable aspects, such as its solid sensation and customizable features, are truly astounding. However, its durability leaves much to be desired, prompting me to exchange it about three or four times.

    Good controller, I’ve been using it for the past 7 months. There is no stick sway and all the buttons are working fine, except the left bumper is having some difficulty. I usually have to press it closer to the right side for it to have any input. Besides that, pretty good upgrade from your standard controller. (The paddles are also really great, they just don’t come with the controller, and not many games on Xbox have compatibility for them.)

    Game like a baller with this . It’s cheaper than the elite 2. But with most of the perks… also get a tall thumb stick to aim better

    Elite controllers are awesome. Only issues I’ve noticed have been over time the bumpers start to become inconsistent. Gentle on the bumpers!
