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.

    This is honestly the best controller I’ve ever had by far. The joysticks are replaceable and also have tension adjustments. 4 back buttons come in handy when you're trying to do some extra moves when gaming. The only issue I’ve had with 2 different controllers. The RB button seems to be giving out. And this is 2 different controller. I’ve owned this one less that three months and I can see the response missing sometimes. Reliability is important. I’m glad I got the replacement plan cause I’m going to trade this out soon

    Purchased for my son and he loves it. No issues at all. He says it is the best controller out of the other one he has had in the past. He says there a lot of improvements to the controller. Worth the price.

    Amazing controller, steps ahead of previous model. Just wish they would fix the most common issue in the occasional stick drag and easily breakable bumpers.
