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 was looking to take my gaming to a higher level with some of the new FPS titles that had come out ie: Apex Legends / COD and I wanted the ability to preset and learn to keep my fingers on the buttons to mitigate the time I spent unable to complete important actions like aiming or reloading. The grips on this controller are amazing and the ability to swap out parts so easily is a huge plus. I've used this daily since I bought it and have seen little to no wear or lag in the aiming dead zone.

    A little difficult to get used to at first as you get accustomed to the paddles on the back, took me about a week or so but when you do, it's worth it. Now I dont have to let go of the right thumbstick to press the front faced buttons which puts you in an advantage. Controller feels great in your hands with the rubberized grips. You can easily customize between different paddles and thumbsticks. You can customize how far you want to press the triggers. Overall great controller and worth the price!!

    This is an amazing controller. All the buttons and triggers and extremely responsive and it feels just right in your hands. It is slightly heavier than your regular controller but not too heavy that it becomes uncomfortable to use. The customization options are excellent but I personally don't need them. Perhaps if you game professionally it might be of use. You can also remove the buttons at the back, which I did since they are not needed for my casual gaming. All in all, awesome controller.

    I recently purchased this controller for my Dad because i have had one for nearly 4 years and have never had an issue with it outside of needing a battery replacement, which is a very simple process. I would 100% recommend this controller to anyone who wants a high end controller for their Xbox but doesnt want to spend the $200+ that other “elite” style controllers tend to have. Additionally, remapping buttons/triggers is so simple. My dad isnt much of tech person and i was able to show him how to modify the layout within a few minutes.

    When it comes to reliability and performance, the Elite series stands out as my top choice. Since the introduction of the Elite 1, this controller has proven exceptional. It outperforms its cheaper Xbox counterpart by a long shot. The ability to where Customization is key to a gamer style of play this controller is it. It enhances your gaming experience with the upgraded thumbstick pegs and button mapping flaps, making it the ultimate controller for PC gaming and Xbox first-person shooters. I Couldnt be happier.
