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.

    It’s an elite controller. What’s not to like? Just get ready to learn a new way to play with the extra paddles. Definitely worth the extra $$

    I had the original series 2 for a long time and used it daily without any issues, it eventually wore out as all controllers do and then this was released, so I decided to get it to replace my old one. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it over any off brand Xbox controllers especially if you already have the accessories for it and if not you can get ones in different colors for cheap on amazon.

    I originally had the first elite controller and loved it. They made everything even better with trigger stops, grip on the back, and adjustable thumbsticks.
