    Didn’t think I would like the built in battery but i do like not having to swap them out all the time. Guess we will see how the battery longevity goes.

    The elite 2 controller is amazing. Why could you charge so much for less . If you buy this controller the (CORE) version. You have to turn around and spend about another 150 for the extra buttons . Now if you buy the black elite 2 controller you get a carry case ,all the extra buttons ,and charge dock for it . Almost forgot and the black on is cheaper then the white one and you get more for a better price . I have both controllers this core still in box just havent had time to take it back

    Love the paddles, a must if you are playing fps, I owned two of the original elite controllers and the quality was better. The new elite core seems to not permit multiple inputs at the same time prioritizing set moves before others which can mess with the gaming experience.

    Great controller! The only reason. I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it drifts on occasion. I use it mainly for FPS games.
