Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great controller, has proven to be more durable than the original elite 2 while being slightly lighter in weight. Ive used elite 2 controllers for about 3 years and the bumpers always fail withing the first year or shortly after and this elite core has been running the longest, so in comparison i definitely would put the core on top, and you can get cool colors.

Love the feel of this. Little heavier is nice and the able to tweak it is really nice too.

Pretty good affordable aswell if you want a elite style controller battery life is great and since i had the elite 2 black controller i had the bumper sticks for the back and it dosent have drift problems like the black one did so its a win

As advertised. Paddles are a must for competitive gaming. These typically have quality control issues but have no experienced anything yet (have previously returned two controllers with the extended warranty via BestBuy where the bumper stopped working).

Nice build and weight. Fits in my (admittedly large) hands. Good replacement if your old elite controller starts having drift and you can't wait for Microsoft to send in a refurbished replacement. If using on PC, make sure to update the controller before using it.

Problems: buttons (LB AND RB) start to work less over time, causing presses to not register. Some minor issues with the rubberized material peeling at the seem after a while. Too expensive to be having this problem at $180 pros: great controller with amazing customization. love the paddles too. it is great to hold and aiming with them is pretty much a breeze. I also love the adjustable triggers, and the case it comes with that can charge the thing.

Very comfortable you’re able to adjust a different settings and the Xbox light change color to I set it too I love it.

Honestly, the best controller ive ever used and purchased. Completely blew the base controller out of the water. For the extra price, the added benefits really are worth it. Ive had it for six months now with daily 2-3 hour usage on it, not a single issue. The people complaing about issues are the ones who cant take a loss and throw their controller in a fit of rage. Its a premium controller, not a wii remote. Treat it like a premium product and it’ll reward you swimmingly.

Like my son play all the have times and say mom go to the Best Buy because this store have guarantee to the all customer.

As an avid gamer, I can confidently say that the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is an absolute game-changer. Packed with advanced features and top-notch build quality, this controller takes gaming to a whole new level of precision and customization.

Recommend, especially if you already have an elite or elite accessories. Without the accessories I do not think it is worth it. In my case i have an ild elite with stick drift and stuck buttons that is no longer under warranty. Bought this as a cheaper alternative as all of the additions work with it as well.

Great controller, its about time they dropped the Elite series 3 though. I think this one is lagging behind (literally) when it comes to the amount of Hz it connects too. The higher the better. Almost got a different one until i found it it had no rumble to the controller. I need to feel the game! Extremely comfortable and easy to use. Buy!!!

I’ve been using the elite 1 controller since release and must say the elite 2 has some improvements that caught my eyes, the joystick can finally be adjusted and they no longer bouncing back and forth like the elite 1.

Nice controller it’s heavy no batteries, the charge last for a long time overall it lasted about a year and half. Better than the original version but do recommend getting the 2yr or total tech warranty on it.

While it may be a little rough on the back end, the Elite controller does hold up pretty well. Has a nice grip on them and you can even adjust the the left and right triggers to where you won’t go overboard on them.

Best. Weight is good and fits well in hand. Triggers in the back are well placed and work well

Bought this for my husband and he loves it. The only thing I hate is that it doesn't come with paddles....kinda pointless but overall, great controller.

I highly recommend this controller, it has been such an upgrade from the basic Xbox controller. Everything about it is just easier to play shooter, sports, and basic games.

Great product . If looking for a better than stock controller this is product to buy. Can also customize button layout for different games.

These are easy to sync to the Xbox. Also, the controllers can be modified for sensativity, which helps my son in game controlling. The magnetic pieces are great because it makes the look of the controller customizable. Highly recommended!
