    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

    Ive worn out my Elite Series two, so i grabbed this and saced $50 on the stuff i had from the original. I love the white and black! These controllers are fantastic, but having had three, are prone to random failures. The most commkn for mer are the rear paddles with randomly stop working. Its bot the switch failing rather the plastic the the paddles hook into wears out and there anfle of the paddle is off enough it camt trigger the switch. I have to be clear, ive not worn or broke three previous controllers but have stick drift on one and the other the paddle problems. The third is fine, i just use it for another system. I do recommend this controller as there arent any out there thet beat it

    Bought the product on March 5th 2022. Thought it was the best controller I’ve ever used. Now on June 4th 2022 the right stick just stopped working. It’s past the exchange period so now I have a 220$ paper weight. I only play games on the weekends so at most it’s in use 16/hr a week. You can do the math. Maybe you will get lucky with your purchase.

    Overall this isis a solid product. The only problem I really have with it is the paddles are sort of it an awkward position. My hands start to cramp up because of it; so I find myself not even using them most of the time. The overall aesthetic of it is a nice touch.
