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 controller I have invested on. I’ve been wanting this controller a bit before covid kicked in but it was difficult to find. Glad to say the wait was worth it. I use this controller on my Xbox, my phone and my pc.

    Hardware wise excellent controller; USB-C, great battery life; very heavy, premium feel; back buttons; adjustable triggers and sticks. Several months in and I've had no issues with buttons sticking or stick drift. However, the software side of things has been, less than stellar. First of all if you have to connect this controller to your PC via USB for any reason it simply will not connect back to bluetooth once you remove the USB connection. You have to remove the controller from your devices and re-pair it. No other controller I've used on my PC (SN30pro+ and DS4) have this issue, and Microsoft still won't address it. Second, connectivity is a big issue. Not only was I getting random drop outs at different times (seemingly always in the middle of a very important part of my game lol) but it was tanking my framerates on games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Jedi Fallen Order. As soon as I switched back to my DS4 the issues disappeared. It's a shame, this controller feels so good in the hands, but software-wise is were the experience goes down the toilet. I'm now using my SN30pro+ full-time and it's hands down the best controller for PC. Hopefully Microsoft addresses some of these issues with the V3, but I've given up waiting. Also $200 and no motion controls? C'mon man. Buy at your own risk knowing that if you avoid the hardware issues seemingly everyone seems to get, the software ain't much better.
