Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    Believe The Hype...Good & Bad

    If you're looking to up your game, this controller is for you...but make sure to get extended warranty, or if you're a TotalTech member you're covered. This is my 2nd one, because the good outweighs the bad. OK, the good - it's comfortable, nice weight, very customizable, back paddles easy to use and reach, it's wireless, long lasting battery and great case that can charge, and braided cable the not so good - on my first Elite II the rubberized grips began to unpeel after less than a year, but worse than that, after about 1 1/2 years the RB button began to not work that being said, after about 6 months of not using it, I shopped around for a replacement, the closest competitor was the Thrustmaster Eswap, but it's a wired controller and has 2 buttons on the backside instead of paddles and that tipped the balance in favor of the Elite II I especially recommend this if you are a TotalTech member, you can get it for $159 and if you have any reward points you can get this for close to $120

    I bought this controller in excellent condition open box. I don’t think I would consider it in excellent condition, but the controller itself is amazing. I love the back detachable buttons, and the weight of the controller Is on the heavy side, which gives it a premium feel. It definitely feels like a $200 controller. If you’re a hard-core gamer, I recommend buying it. You can map out the buttons on the accessories app on your Xbox very easily. You can also create up to three profiles. I don’t recommend it for the casual gamer.

    Great controller, much better than the one that came with the Xbox. One thing to notice is that at first it was behaving weirdly with my MacBook and when I connected it to the Xbox it updated and solve the MacBook issues.

    Only gave it 4 Stars because this is my 3rd one. It's definitely the best controller out there. But always seems to break a year or 2 down the line. I literally use it and set it down. Never throw or hit it. It's either the directional pad sticks, right bumper or stick drift. Frustrating because it's not cheap. Get the extended warranty.

    I love this store because it is great price and easy to return if case you need it, about this controller it is nice weight and fits in hands nicely. I like the position of all the buttons they are easy to reach and use.

    First controller I bought was a defect. Went to return it and had to spend 20 minutes listening to the try to sell me a ridiculous priced plan for protection which I kept informing I did not want but still continued to pressure me. I ended up getting basic two year plan so I could get back to my day. Don’t pressure people to buy things they do not want. I understand upsell but the situation was ridiculous.
