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.

    This controller is the absolute worst controller i have ever had because once you get it, it becomes the only control you'll ever want to use. The pnly way i can know something is wrong with this controller is if someone make a better one.

    I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.
