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.

    Sometimes I want a weightier, firmer controller. And this thing does the trick. It responds and holds up well when tightly gripping and quickly pressing many inputs in a short period of time. Totally awesome purchase!

    Great controller, unfortunately it’s extremely overpriced for what it is. I honestly don’t see enough reasons to spend $179.99+ tax on this over a regular controller. The extra buttons and attachments feel more like a personal preference over a necessity. There are far cheaper options out there for a similar experience. Also, it doesn’t seem to last any longer than a regular Xbox controller. In addition, the warranty is over $60, the cost of a standard Xbox controller.

    Good quality. Feels nice in your hands. I like being able to adjust the joystick sensitivity. My one complaint is it did not come with the back paddles and adjustable joysticks, but third party options were relatively cheap, but with the high cost of the controller I feel like it should come with.

    Better than the normal Xbox controller. You can take out certain pieces and replace them.
