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.

    Best quality controller you can buy. Even without the ability to assign buttons to the levers, the obvious high quality of the controller makes it a good choice, and if you can get it on sale, even better!

    Great controller over all but if you are going to be playing competitive games there are some issues. The left stick click sometimes doesn’t register if you have the stick pushed all the way up or down. Can get VERY annoying if this is something done a lot, which in my case it is. Everything else is great but I would love to have seen mouse click triggers. Not a bad controller but could be better!

    Excellent Controller, I have the protection plan too, but let's hope I don't need it for at least a year. Simple setup even with Win11 or 10.

    My son is huge into video games. I almost fell over when he told me how much it was but he also explained why it was so expensive. I was sold. I was tired of purchasing controllers. Since I bought this a year ago I haven't had to replace it.

    Love the quality of it it feels great in my hand. But the stick drift is horrible and I’ve only had the controller for 3 months. Also one of the paddle on the back is starting to become unresponsive unless I press really hard. Kinda disappointed in this especially for the money spent. I don’t know what To buy next because I’m so used to the paddles but I guess I’ll figure it out.

    If you want to be in the game, then the elite series 2 controller is for you. I did have the black one and the rubber is coming off it. I had it for 3 years with moderate game play. So, I picked up the blue one for a very reasonable price. Once you go elite, I doubt if you ever go back to other controllers. If you can, get one and get it on sale.

    The build quality is definitely a key difference vs the standard controller which I've used for more than 5 years. I like the adjustable trigger locks. its pricy to say the least.

    I love this controller. It seems a little expensive at first but it is truly worth the money. The one downside is the RB and LB buttons are all one piece inside of the controller and tend to break.
