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 like how heavy it feels, the grips are nice but quickly start losing their friction abilities after a few uses. The only other problem in have is the size of tge controller. It might just be me but it just needs to be bigger i feel like.

    The elite 2 separates itself with the extra paddles on the back. The layout and feel of these extra paddles are much better than other controllers. The programmable profiles are a nice feature as well. If you are a heavy gamer I would opt for the warranty.

    If your looking to expand what you can do in games I say go for it. I bought just for Apex & it gets the job done plus more. Back triggers help keep me in game without extra finger movment. No stick drift. Fist perfectly in my hand. It's just a step up from the normal controller.

    One on the best feeling controllers I have ever owned. The weight is perfect and the additional buttons on the back are awesome! I've had this controller for about 6 months and the A button isn't registering ever hit. I would definitely get the geek squad warranty with this product if you use it often. I walked in told them the button wasn't working and they gave me a new one. Great controller just wears out quickly.
