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.

    Awesome controller. The elite 2 controller is better than the elite 1 in every way. Just wish the large sticks were the same height.

    At first I was afraid to buy it because ive read reviews prior to buying it about how there was controller drift. However I received the controller yesterday there was absolutely no drift. For the joysticks, it may take some time to get used to because the grips are so strong and if you have been using a normal controller for about 5 months prior to buying this, it may take a few days to get used to. Make sure to keep the tension in the middle or the beginning if you play fortnite and also make sure to watch youtube videos on the controller before you buy this.

We're confident that once you've had a chance to get used to its grip and features, it may be difficult to go back to a standard controller. Your suggestions are excellent, too. We hope you win a lot of online matches with it.
