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.

    I love this controller, at first I thought it was too much with all the extra buttons and controls but it gets very easy to use after playing with it for awhile!

    The controller is an amazing controller and it feels amazing. I gave it a 3 star because if you already own the first elite controller it’s not worth the upgrade

    Pros -Best feeling controller I have ever had. Fine controller, smooth, and great grip. Hair triggers are super nice. Cons- Left stick drift that started out as a very minor problem, them developed into a huge problem that custom joystick settings with huge deadspace eventually didnt even work.. This progressed over a single week..

    Love this controller. Feels so much sturdier than the original. The ability to adjust trigger pull distance is a game changer for me in FPS games.

    I would like the A,X,Y,B to be quite a bit more responsive and not so nitpickey about how they are pressed. The overall feel and ability to customize how the controller plays are absolutely superb.
