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 is what true greatness feels like. It’s even hard to go back to the series x normal controller after explaining this.

    The metal thumb pad stays cool during play and the paddles on the back of the controller come in so much handy while playing!
