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.

    High Quality Product, Beware of Lemons

    Controller came with a variety of custom tools to change the sensitivity of buttons and analog sticks. There is a learning curve so you might want to try using the controller in different forms before setting into one kind of setting. Beware bc this product does tend to lemon out the most even though its a premium controller.

    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
