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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Greay controller absolutely loved it I’d say my favorite part is the textured grip. It makes the controller feel very premium.

    I ended up returning this controller because I could not justify to my kids spending that much money. Some day when the price is more reasonable I will get it again. The way it felt in my hands was great.

    Great features and feel. The battery lasts quite a while and it’s great to have that added in and be able to charge while it’s in the case. I owned the first and upgraded to the series 2.. not disappointed

    Bumpers

    Rated 3 out of 5 stars

    Bumpers still need improved or changed to buttons

    Bumpers are better than the 1st version but Ive went through 3 of these controllers already. I would of thought since this was a huge problem with the first one they might have just went with buttons instead of bumpers. I know i hit them pretty hard sometimes but a almost $200 controller and V2 shouldn't have this problem.

    Love the feel of this controller. It has a built in battery which can be good and bad. Holds a long charge but does randomly disconnect at times.

    The two stars are for how comfy and enjoyable this controller is. The other 3 non stars are for reliability. I have kept hoping these controllers would be all that I wanted (extremely close), but they reliably breakdown within a year. I have had several now (even 1 gen models) and all ended up with bad bumpers, joystick issues, and button issues. Very hard to recommend these controllers.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
