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.

    This has definitely improved my gaming skills and ability. Also I really like how it’s more heavier it’s definitely gives a different feel in a positive way. And the vibrations are definitely smooth

    Definitely a fantastic controller whether you’re using it for your Xbox or Pc. Grips are great, its a good feel. Like that it you can adjust how firm the joysticks can be. Adjustable triggers as well obviously. Only negative is that maybe size of my hands but I accidentally hit the trigger switches that control how far it travels by accident sometimes. And the fact it doesn’t come with the case and extra accessories is unfortunate

    My favorite feature os the 30hr battery and the build quality. Seems like such a better deal than Sony’s 200 dollar contraller that dies after 2 hrs.

    The product was so good right out of the box it had a lot of battery in it and I haven’t needed to charge it with the wireless charger it comes with that pulgas into the case. That being said I would upgrade If you have the series 1!

    Bought over 8 different controllers for my son including the first Elite controller. This controller was a favorite besides the inability to endure the life of a streamer. Bestbuy replacement plan is great and bought two of these controllers so that while one is working the other one can be exchanged, however just like the elite one series Bestbuy goes out of stock on these controllers and there is none to replace it with. For this reason I bought my son the Wolverine Ultimate and it is his new favorite. Bestbuy does not stock this controller though. Only time will tell if it can last longer than 2-3 months. For more information go to https://www.twitch.tv/devouralphaa follow and ask in real-time when he is streaming.

    The elite series 2 has solved all the issues from the original. The analog stick tension adjustment is the best feature. Overall the controller is well build and feels solid. I am happy with the internal battery life as I go weeks between charging.

    Pricey so try to catch it on sale. But after using this controller It’s hard to use a standard one again. Definitely recommend pairing with the Microsoft Windows dongle for PC Gaming.
