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.

    As far as the use of this controller after 5 years of using the elite controllers I can't even go back to using a regular controller. I love this controller. On the other hand I've replaced my controller 3 times due to the left or right bumper not working after a period of time. My advice make sure to pay for the best buy coverage and replace it as needed.

    If you want full control of fps shooters, you MUST HAVE THIS CONTROLLER. It’s incredible. The battery life and trigger locks with smaller paddles have me steamrolling in pvp.
