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.

    Paddles are great, long and good material. The case it comes with it’s cool, can hold the extra joysticks and directional buttons. Biggest issue was the accuracy of the joysticks. Very precise not what I’m used too from other controllers.

    Adaptive and fun controller. It is not recommended for the novice or occasional player. After about a month of play, one of the sticks malfunction and began exhibiting phantom momements. Eventually exchanged it under the total care plan for a replacement. Fingers Crossed!

    BUY THE WARRANTY. I've gone through 3 of these controllers in the last year now because inevitably something breaks on it within 5 or 6 months. My first one i got had issues with the right and left bumpers, so i exchanged it and the next one has issues with the left stick and now the one ive had for only 5 months won't register when i push up on the left stick and sometimes doesnt register the left bumper. Its a real bummer cause these controllers feel and look sturdy and i love having paddles for more tactical gameplay but they nevee last. Now I'm out $200 cause on my third purchass i didnt get the warranty.

    Broke a previous one after rage quitting, so I decided to upgrade. I like how everything is adjustable, I feel like it has improved my gaming experience big time. I never want to go back to the original controller.

    Fastest most accurate controller so far, I bought this controller over scuf controllers because of its amazing game play but even more so because of its great help desk plus the price, easily won more CoD battles because of its precision aim, definitely a winner.
