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.

    Amazing controller. Great abilities and adjustable joysticks. However I wish you got the paddles with the controller.

    As someone who has played the original Xbox, I gotta say that this, this is the best feeling and responsive controller I've ever felt. Feels premium to something that you're used to. Can't wait to use it for other games since I recently build my PC. Now, i'm going to play Halo: Master Chief Edition to reminisce on childhood experiences.

    Great if you like to play Call of Duty. Can adjust everything for your liking in the settings. Definitely helps to adjust trigger functions and the back buttons for full customization. Also swapped out both sticks for more comfortable game play.

    I didn't think I'd like the white, but it looks really nice in person. The core doesn't come with the paddles and sticks, but was a great replacement for my Elite series 2 that stopped working.

    I own 10 various xbox controllers including 3rd party "pro-style" controllers with buttons on the back. While many of them are good, non hold a candle to the elite 2 for pure comfort and performance. I think it's the perfect weight and just feels right. I do recommend getting the warranty as i did wear one out in about 22 months (hundreds of hours of Halo infinite) but the 2 year warranty i added at time of purchase was seemless to use. Just brought my old one in and walked out with a new one. For competitive play it's a must-buy.

    The XBOX ELITE SERIES 2 controller is the best controller I have ever used I would 100% recommend this controller to anyone who is a gamer this controller is great for a noob and great for a pro. This controller comes with back panels which made the overall feeling of the controller amazing it also comes with a lot more accessories. The unboxing was amazing and looked like it was secure and safe in the box and the controller overall is amazing!

    Absolutely worth every doller, its very responsive with its adjustible setting for the triggers to the wireless charging dock that fits in the pro controller case. I use it almost daily wen I play online, from racing games to first shooter games,RGB games as well it works perfect with all games. I would recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys using high quality controller.

    best controller i’ve used for an xbox out right now. it has a weight to it which makes it feel more like a quality controller and the accessory swapping feature is a must have! durability could be better but i almost expect to go through controllers at a slightly faster then average rate because of how competitively i play.

    As the title says, “I should’ve got I w sooner.” My brother got one and kept telling me it was worth it even at regular price and I chose not to believe him. When they went on sale for $50 off I figured why not? And let me tell you that now it’s the only controller I use. Battery life is good and so is the build quality and customization on the button mapping! You won’t regret it!
