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.

    It’s a decent controller. It is better than the second version of the Elite 1 (the white) when it comes to quality. A little pricey but would recommend it to anyone who has the the extra cash. I like the charging case

    Elite controllers are awesome. Only issues I’ve noticed have been over time the bumpers start to become inconsistent. Gentle on the bumpers!

    Solid controller, but potentiometers in joysticks make it necessary to replace your controller eventually.

    Compared to the Elite Series 2, this controller seems much less durable. Dropped it one time and I’ve had intermittent issues with my left bumper due to it. Decided to take the front shell off to attempt to fix the bumper just to find out the shell was destroyed on the inside. Before the drop I had little to no issues just wish the product was a bit more sturdy
