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.

    I feel like these should be cheaper, but straight up - once you've played with an Elite controller, you can't go back to a regular one. Fair warning - I'm on my 3rd one, you get right about 2 years out of it with moderate use.

    Re-wiring my brain to use the bottom buttons didn’t take that long. I wish I would have done this sooner.

    After using this controller for only a short time, I have only good things to say about it. Although a bit on the high side of price for a controller. The build quality, performance, and all around appearance is outstanding and well worth the money. I would definitely recommend this for any Xbox users and PC users who play on controller, a HUGE improvement over any other controller on the market.
