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.

    Arguably the best wireless controller in the market for PC gaming. Sometimes has connection problem but overall very good. Maybe the Bluetooth adapter helps with the connection problem but is sold separately. The built quality is great. Nice to hold in hand specifically with the satisfying weight.

    I play games on just about everything (PC, Xbox, Phone) and I am so glad I have this controller to use on all these platforms. As soon as you pick it up you know it's a great quality build. Extremely easy to switch out sticks and d-pad (takes seconds). It's also very easy to set the paddles to whatever button you want (I did it through the Xbox).
