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.

    The detachable thumb sticks and d pad make it easy to clean in the most traveled areas. Love the ring finger paddles also. Very comfortable

    I play a lot of RPG, Racing, and first person shooters. The controller allows me to customize the buttons for each type of game I play and it makes all the difference. It feels and looks second to none. I will never go back to a regular Xbox controller EVER!

    Very responsive, I love the ability to customize all the buttons, interchangeable analog stick, love the grip and size of the controller. The price is a bit much for a controller but definitely worth it. I wish the manufacturer warranty would be at least 2 years because after of 1 year of gaming the buttons start acting up.

    Plain and simple. Quality, performance, and ease of use is 10/10. absolutely no issues with it! No drifting issues like the last gen. And it comes with Bluetooth, wireless dock and usb C! I cant ask for much more, maybe a white collor!
