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 have owned the elite 1 and now the series 2 elite. I can confirm the best controller on PC and Xbox has been supplanted by the newer model. The build quality is top notch, button response perfect, joysticks have no drift, and the joystick tension adjustment is amazing. The carrying case now has a charging dock also. I recommend this to anyone looking for the best.

    Feels great in your hands and got a nice weight to it. Grips are comfortable. The only thing that's my con is the little switches that controll the triggers sensitivity have rubbed off. They still work but feels like little needles when trying to adjust them
