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.

    Best controller I've had hands down. Also, without fail, somethings eventually breaks on it. First one it was a trigger, second it was a joystick, third one a trigger again. Get the warranty, it's totally needed.

    I love the controller my only complaint is the fact that the grip rubber comes off over time. A 200 dollar controller shouldn’t have that issue. It’s not just one it is a repeat issue on everyone I know who owns them.

    The paddles take a bit to get used to, and I re-mapped them, but when you do they're awesome. I barely have to worry about keeping the remote charged because it lasts so long.

    Not a major gamer, but like the ability to use paddles and adjust controller. There's not a lot of documentation on what each setting does until you search internet or install Xbox app.
