Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    A Luxurious Upgrade

    I'm pretty sure this doesn't make me a better gamer but it certainly is a fantastic luxury. I love the back paddles and the variable trigger pulls. I still get tagged in 30 seconds in Halo by 12 year olds who play 8 hours a day but I feel like I'm more competitive and because it's a bit pricey, I'm less likely to fling it across the room in anger . . . at least I hope I'm less likely.

    I got this and their headphones at about the same time thinking they would be easy to link and use together. Nope! Returned the headphones. I kept this because I think/hope that I can make some adjustments once I sit down and figure how to do that. Still, for my large hands the paddles are too long, as in the way, too easy to hit accidentally. They feel like a good solid build. Aside for the paddles, it seems to be a good controller. I would recommend, but with these concerns.

    Wow, love this controller and all the customization. The only thing is that it is heavy, so if you game for long hours, might not be the one for you.

    Awesome controller. The elite 2 controller is better than the elite 1 in every way. Just wish the large sticks were the same height.

    3 stars because it constantly disconnects from the console. My husband sits fairly close to his console and constantly has issues. There’s no interference, it’s up to date. Have tried syncing it again. For the price, this shouldn’t be an issue. Joystick buttons are very delicate magnets, easy to come off, beware if you have small children around.

    The Core controller is good enough for the price. I definitely would buy the accessories but not necessary, just wanted to get an extra one so my son and I can play together.
