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.

    I got this controller for the trigger stops and better build quality compared to the base controllers. I don’t use the paddles on the back of the controller because they’re to easy to mistakenly press.

    Another controller turned into a paperweight.

    Purchased Nov 22, now it's Aug 18th at the time of writing this. Less than a year of ownership the RB button is now failing, it doesn't register a button press about 70-80% of the time I press the button. Previous Elite Series 2 controllers had these issues, however, I gave the benefit of the doubt when buying the "core series" hoping that they'd fixed this KNOWN issue, they didn't. Sadly, now this is my second almost paperweight Elite Series 2 controller with a broken/dying RB button. For the price of these controllers you'd think they have a highly build quality, they don't sadly. For those seeking a controller but play games that heavily use the shoulder buttons (RB/LB) don't waste your money on the Elite series, just buy the normal controllers. Now I resort to using one of the backpaddles to function as my broken RB button.

    While the controller was fine, the "open box" was not as advertised or what I paid for. On line, there are 3 options for my BB Store for open boxes. I paid for "excellent" condition but got home and actually receive "fair" condition. It didn't even come with a charging cable!!! Suppose now there is nothing I can do, but just make sure you get what you paid for BEFORE you leave the store.
