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.

    Great controller. The option to buy paddles separately is great for opening up color variations.

    Best controller I’ve ever used. Carrying case is awesome, customization is great, and I couldn’t be happier. I really love the weight of it compared to the regular Series X controller as well.

    This controller is amazing, so much customization and the build quality is fantastic. I’ve heard there are problems with it breaking down the road so I purchased the extended warranty.

    When I use a controller I always end up switching back to this one. Premium quality and build. Map one of the paddles to l3 for gpa games and you’ll never experience drift.

    This controller has some definite improvements from the series 1. The charging port is easy to use and the battery is long-lasting. Most of the features feel the same when playing, which is still good quality.

    I game on a PC and it’s kinda hard to find a controller that’s comfortable because I have very large hands but I can say it connects great to a computer works great. I just wished it was about an inch wider

    This has definitely improved my gaming skills and ability. Also I really like how it’s more heavier it’s definitely gives a different feel in a positive way. And the vibrations are definitely smooth
