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.

    Bought an Elite 2 on a whim because it was priced well, being "Open Box Excellent." Upon using it I realized that the "Y" face button wouldn't register when pressed from the lower part of it, even if the button was pushed all the way down. Also noticed the "P3" paddle was loose compared to the other 3 and didn't register or make a click noise like the rest. The look, feel, handle and customizability this controller are all incredible and I like the versatility of running wired or wireless and not needing batteries, but I have yet to try this controller bought "new." I hope the face button issue was more a 1 off defect and not issues with quality control.

    I absolutely love this controller until I was playing one of my games and I was turning right with the analog stick and as I was holding the analog stick right No other buttons worked so there might be a short :(

    Good works as described won’t make you better at games but offers a more advanced control scheme meaning you have to change the way you play games but this change could result in major preformance increases, requires power armor training (fallout joke just need to practice with the new buttons to get a hang of it)

    One of the best controllers I’ve ever used. The ability to reconfigure your button mapping is amazing. If you have the money to waste on a gaming controller, this is the one to buy.

    Purchased this controller 11/16/19, I use it mostly for PC gaming when playing my 3rd person adventure / action games like Nioh, Sekiro, and Dark Souls 1-3. Sometime in May the back switch to lock the triggers broke off, strange since I never use it to lock my triggers. This week 6/15/20, my right bumper broke, it now sticks and does not make clicking sound anymore. I do not game that much since I have a 10 hour a day job, I am also involved in online classes for my degree and I am a father. So I normally game about 2 hours every other day. The controller has not even lasted a year for me yet. I feel for the price of the product it needs to be able to last longer, I am not a hardcore 6 to 8 hours a day gamer.
