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! If you’re wondering if it’s worth the big price tag, buy it. It’s more configurable than you think and rarely needs charging!

    I've tried many aftermarket controllers for the paddle functionality and this is by far the best. Very sturdy and high quality.

    Great product, no slouch just pricey, the 99 dollar sale price is definitely worth it, no controller is worth more than 100, sorry ps dual sense but i say the same about your controller and would rate it even less due to the price
