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.

    Pretty good; I like that I can adjust the trigger pressure so that I barely have to tap it for it to press. Sometimes it lags, this may be due to the bluetooth connection. I use it with my PC, so that might be why ? otherwise, great controller

    Tough to review as I love this product, but I also hate it as I'm on my third controller. Its a fantastic product for what its designed to do, but it's a terrible product because the quality is terrible. Bumpers and paddles break, usually sometime between 12-24 months. I would rarely suggest this, but if you buy this, make sure you get the 2-year Geek Squad coverage.

    So far so good. Biggest issue is that it won't connect to PC sometimes. I have to reboot the controller or remove the controller to get it to work. A little stick drift here and there but not as bad as the original.

    He is in love with this controller, so glad I got it for him. Now he never wants to use a regular controller again. I like how it comes with the hard charging case and that you can change out the buttons. Pricey but worth it in the long run.

    This controller feels great! The texture grips help keep your hands on the controller! The rear buttons make it better for multiplayer games so that you can also be slightly ahead of your enemy!
