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.

    The grip is better than the other elites and works just as good. For PC useres, buy a dongle.

    Everything is improved on this controller from the first generation. Great matte finish and sturdy enough for long gaming session. Rubber grips can still be improved.
