Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Great ergonomics and quality. The adjustable tension thumbstick and hair trigger locks make a big difference.

    I really like this controller and the way it feels in my hands. I did have some problems with stick drift, which is why only 4 stars.

    [Employee of bestbuy] The greatest controller i've ever used, but it's not very durable. I've replaced it twice now, first because the right bumper failed, then because the grip started to become unglued after many hours of use and changed the shape of the controller. If you're going to buy this get the protection and replace it when, not if, it fails.

    A little pricey but 100% worth it the added weight makes the controller feel more built

    Red is my favorite color, When this was on sale I had to buy it. I'm glad they make these without all the other accessories and cheaper because I already had a broken controller and didn't need all the extras!

    Im very sad to wright this i have owned many controllers over time and i purchased an elite series 2 last year and it was amazing one of the best rollers i have had but ive always been a play station controller person so i sold it to a friends when the ps5 edge controller came out and man that was a mistake that thing broke with in 2 months so i went back to my astro controller for a while and figured id buy another elite 2 controller when i had the money so i purchased the red core controller about a week ago cause im a sucker for red haha but was sadly disapointed when it arrived and i plugged it in to my pc the ads trigger was bugged out of the box every time i had tbe trigger stop on and would ads in game if i moved my joy stick to the left it would un ads me in the middle of fights and also one of the back buttons/paddles was kinda mushy it worked but it didnt really click so do to these corcumstances i am returning the controller right away and i purchased my self a scuf envision and man is this thing sweet tops all the controllers i have had so far so if your a pc gamer ger the scuf envision for sure for the price you cant beat it but if your a x box console gamer save your money on these thing youll just be returning it i would just spend the extra 50 bucks or so and get the black elite 2 package combo the cores are trash

    Feels great in your hands. The customizable thumb stick choices makes for great gameplay. However if your playing regularly (and I can’t imagine you’re not if you are spending this cash on a controller) then you for sure should get the Best Buy warranty for 2 years. As the joysticks have started drifting on all of mine. Two happened inside my 45 day return and BBY was great at exchanging it. The last didn’t start until later, so I’m stuck with it, without any chance to correct.
