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 for my husband as he's hard on controllers, and after having one of these before he broke a button after a few years, he was excited not only at the replacement, but also at the color choices that there are for these now.

    Having an this as an option to purchasing the entire elite is cost effective for me since I have a full version model that suffers from stick drift and faulty button contact. Thus, my old paddles and other accessories fit perfect.

    My favorite feature os the 30hr battery and the build quality. Seems like such a better deal than Sony’s 200 dollar contraller that dies after 2 hrs.

    Great controller. I always use the elites, you just have to buy the warranty cause if you play a decent amount the controller does break easily

    100% better upgrade than the generic controllers that Microsoft gives you with the Xbox. Night and Day difference in quality, game play, feel, confort, and performance. What more can you ask for?

    I’ll start by saying I paid for it with credit card rewards- so I didn’t have to pay any extra for it. While it’s a bit pricey, I do love it and am glad I got it. It’s very comfortable, the metal pieces are really nice and it just feels better than a regular controller. I dropped it once from maybe two feet up, some of the metal pieces popped out but they popped right back in because they’re magnetic, which is actually really cool. No issues with stick drift (yet) after a few months of use. Love it so far.

    People tend to complain about stick drift. Had mine for over a year now and no issue. You can tweak the tightness and settings to your liking.

    Great buy. One of the best controllers you can get out there, because of the possibilities. Of rearranging the buttons for your gaming style. It was surprisingly light for A controller Also had nice grips for the hands to hold on to. I had broke part of my left hand pinky bone, and because of the ability to change the placement of buttons, thanks to the paddles on the controller, I was able to keep playing the games that I liked especially since a new release came out. And I couldn't quite hold the controller right for the one side. But because of the remapping of the buttons, I was able to still play

    Great controller if you want the ability to customize the settings. Once I played with the Elite, never went back to standard. Like being able to swap dpads, adjust trigger pull, and add levers to the back for additional functions.

    I have had my controller for over a month and barely had to charge it yesterday! I use my controller almost daily for about 3 hours. I love how the controller feels in my hands. Perfect for control customizations. Recommend 10/10. #TeamElite:)

    The controller has an amazing feel to it. I really enjoy using this controller until I realized that the ABXY buttons need to be fully bottomed out to work. When playing a game like Rocket League you can find yourself needed to press a button twice to get it to work, but in a fast game like that it is already too late.

    The elite series 2 is the best controller on the market. Paddles are a game changer once you get used to them. Big improvement over the series 1 paddles. Hair triggers are amazing, battery life is crazy good.
