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.

    After using the Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller I can confidently say I will not be going back to stock controllers anytime soon. Another great investment for someone looking to upgrade their setup! I got mine on clearance because it was returned too. LOOK FOR THE DEALS!

    Very good controller! love the customization for the controller especially the triggers and tension for the thumbsticks. Really helps with FPS games. Also like the fact I can have multiple profiles for the controller so the paddles can be for different buttons on each profile or off. Overall happy with this and the case is also a bonus, Must have for Xbox and pc users.

    This controller is made from quality materials, and that is apparent from its weight and durability. I’ve used it a lot, and haven’t had any issues. There are some detachable small pieces so keep your children away.

    I love the controller, in principle....it will last 8 hrs of continuous game play, nice grip and easy to handle...and I'm hoping I just got a lemon, but within 7 months it began shutting off every 30 to 45 min and has a drift on it when left alone. Returned it for a new one and we will see how that goes.

    I mean, what a difference is playing with this controller. I finally decided to spend some money to see if i would notice a difference from a regular controller and man! Difference is an understatement. I will never play with a regular controller again in my life. If you really enjoy video games , you deserved one of this

    Excellent controller. Had the original and decided to upgrade to the second version, no disappointment at all. Quality feels better and the sticks are durable. Customizing the controller paddles/buttons is ready to do from the app in your Xbox console

    This is my first elite controller and I love it specially because you don’t need batteries, it feels so good in your hands and it’s very responsive I was kinda skittish because I’m so used to playing with kontrol freaks but with this controller you don’t need them, I got this controller while on sale I paid 139 for it and it was worth every penny
