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.

    [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

    It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of the Elite Series 2, but it's still the best gaming controller ever made.

    The controller is great but right sticky started drifting less than a year I bought it. Glad Microsoft has a warranty on this though.

    I had the 1st generation elite and it was great. The rubber padding started falling off the controller so I decided to get this when it came out. This one feels great too. Love the shorter stiffer paddles.

    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

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
