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.

    One of the best controllers i touched (Dualsense still better) the grip, the analogs, the additional buttons, even the app is great. If u are looking to get a one up on your opponents, this is the way to go for sure.

    A year later review: Bumpers are poor and don't work 60% of the presses you do, so you have to make your paddle buttons the bumpers. The top smaller bumpers don't work 50% of the time anymore. Both of the sticks are really loose so you have stick drift if you don't have a decent sized dead zone

    Overall this is a solid controller and feels great in the hand, the one downfall is when it gets stick drift and you’re unable to fix it in the settings. Other than that the controller is worth it given the hefty price tag.

    Controller is awesome. Battery charge lasts for days at a time and that is with hours of game play. I like that you can chage the joysticks, paddles and Tpad easily all magnetized, easy on and off. The case to hold and charge controller is very sturdy and holds everything. Would definitly recommend

    Out of the "High end" controllers, this one ranks best for functionality and ease of use. The extra bits for the button re-mapping and trigger stops, along with the joystick tensioner make a difference in game

    Best controller for Xbox gaming. Vast improvement from the 1st gen elite controller, and is an excellent addition for the Xbox series X. Mapping is easy and better life is perfect. This is a brilliant piece of hard wear for any elite gamer.

    If you are a pro gamer then this is a must have for PC or XBOX. Just giving 4 starts because it's still too pricey and would like to see some more dynamic designs of the controller than the classic skin it comes with.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.
