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.

    Efficient, accurate and comfortable to hold. I like the triggers on the underside of the remote for quicker response.

    great feel in your hands. Buttons are nicer than the series 1 controller. I like the weight. A little pricey but worth it.

    The controller is excellent, the price you pay is worth every dime. The controller has weight and has a more premium feel then the regular controller. Battery life is amazing and could last a solid week on heavy gaming. The parts are so easily interchangeable and dont think about using another controller.

    I’ve had this controller over a year and have had no problems with it. I’m just an average game player so mostly bought this controller because I was tired of having to purchase a new regular controller every year and hoped this one would last longer. So far it has not disappointed. It is heavier than the regular controller but that doesn’t effect my opinion of it as it is still fairly comfortable to use. I like that you can swap out the controller sticks easily.

    It’s exactly what you expect it to be. Doesn’t come with everything, but it’s not supposed to. This is more of a replacement for when your normal pro 2 controller dies but don’t want to pay extra for the extra parts.

    A lot of people have complained about the build quality of this controller. I have not had a single issue and think that it is way better than the default controller included with an xbox. It has a great weight and easily swappable joysticks, d-pad, triggers and everything. The ability to adjust the length of the trigger pulls is a great addition as well as the tension adjusters for the joysticks. The rubberized texture feels extremely good in the hands too!

    This new controller was just the thing that I needed to make some of my games easier to play. The paddles on the back are customizable so you can determine what they do and to have so many configurations you can set makes switching games easu

    This controller is the very best one in the market and now with this aforable price its an easy recommendation for anyone wanting a pro controller with the option to get all the extra fearures down the line, but for starters just the trigger stops, internal battery and comfort I think is well worth it.

    If you are looking for a premium controller, this is a great choice. For the price this is one of the best paddle controllers you can get. All buttons are fully customizable with the software. If I played more controller this would be my everyday controller! love the charger and case that comes with it also. Used it with my computer and it worked great wired and wirelessly. I ended up returning it because I play mostly with mouse and keyboard.

    Great controller with many customizable options when you have the pack form the last version. Amazing weight feel and good size for those with bigger hands, no problem with connection on PC and registers fast with no notable input lag.

    Good feel and solid build. So far no problems. Like the adjustable triggers. Will keep an eye for stick drift. Triggers are great because they can be tightened down. D pad feels odd being multi-direction. Overall pretty good. A bit overpriced tho.

    I only had my first one for 3 months and the RB button up top stopped working. Bestbuy exchanged it for free. Not sure if it’s because I’m a total tech member or not. I am tho. I had this one for a few weeks. I will update. Other then it falling apart. It does the job. I use it wired, can’t say anything about battery life. I would buy again because I use the paddles on it.
