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.

    Great build quality, and customizability. However you will want to get the BestBuy extended warranty as they are known to have buttons or sticks fail after some time.

    The stick drift on this after a few months is not the best. My dead zone is set at 0.20 to fight it. It’s not worth the money to be honest.

    Just what I was looking for. Battery life is amazing and simple to charge. An absolute upgrade from the original elite. Wouldn't go with any other controller out there in the market.

    I have my paddles set up to my liking and they’ve really helped my gameplay improve by allowing me to react faster by not having to remove my thumb from the joystick to push another button

    Life changing. Put off getting the elite controller for a few years. Finally done it and no regrets. However if you have bigger hands like I do, I find it’s difficult to play with all 4 back panel triggers. I only play with 2.
