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.

    Always replace his controllers at Best Buy. If there's not one at our store (only once in 15 years) they get one from a nearby store for me right away. Hubby likes this one because it's meant to go with his PS5 and isn't a knock off.

    The controller is great, responsive, and has all the bells and whistles you expect for an elite controller. I wish I had known that the mapping would be limited to the games.

    I've had to return two of these over the past two years because the bumpers would just start failing. You basically need to have the geek squad warranty unless you want to deal with Microsoft.

    Unfortunately the elite-2 controllers have a tendency to start having problems with stick drift or button sticking. For the cost of the controllers its seems they should be better built. I would recommend getting a warranty on it. My son is on his 3rd one in 2 years.
