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 feels great in your hands and the response is outstanding. I really like the customization options. All of the buttons can be re-mapped so that you can make the controller work best for you. The charging station / carrying case is a great option as well. Just drop it in an it connects pretty much every time. If you're serious about gaming with the X-Box this is the controller for you.

    This controller has withstood my wrath thus far, only downside is if your motherboard is a certain age the USB Bluetooth adapter for Xbox controllers becomes necessary. Otherwise, if you're playing wired then you're good to go

    I will say I actually got my money's worth. Buying this elite controller has stopped me from buying a new xbox controller every 3 to 4 months. It is kinda sad that a basic xbox controller comes with so many faults that it starts to drift after a while. If you want reliability and durability, save some money and get this one.

    The series 2 elite controller was a major upgrade from the series 1. My series one had many physical defects, ( rubber gripping peeling off, bumpers breaking, analog stick rubber peeling off) but with the series 2 I’ve experienced zero issues. Controller feels great and really helps in all games with the paddle configurations along with trigger modifications. Love this controller and totally worth the money!

    Thought it was great bought as a open box however I later found out the left analog assembly that is soldered to the board is broke so unless i find another one and manage to solder it to the board successfully it's toast.

    Incredible controller. This has elevated my gaming experience ten fold. Absolutely no issues which was a concern for me due to the previous model being somewhat underwhelming for the price point. However I can confidently say as an avid gamer (4-8 hour sessions daily) I have ran into no problems at all and will continue using this product.

    Coming from a scuf instinct pro controller and this product feels almost the same quality, I believe the instinct pro it’s a little bit better but this one is pretty good too so I’m very happy with it.
