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.

    Started off great super responsive pedals, triggers and smooth feeling on sticks. But after about 5 hours of gameplay it started having input issues. Itd have stick occasionally input the direction opposite i moved it, prolong button inputs from taps to 3-4 second holds randomly, and randomly input bumper triggers. This happened accross mutliple controller profiles, games and even after reinstalling drivers. Was very disappointed as its unusable now.

    When they work, best controller for the Xbox. They have a VERY high failure rate and only a 3 month factory warranty, so the geek squad protection plan is a must and well worth the 2 years of coverage. I Own 3 of these controllers by the way. If they didn't have such a high failure rate I would give them 5 stars all day.

    Great controller, love that you can get it without the extra buttons but then have the option to add those later. Also love that you can change the color of the light behind the home button.
