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.

    Really nice to use, even without the additional back paddles. Only real flaw is there isn't a dedicated capture button. Would recommend if you can get it $30+ off.

    Great for a replacement controller instead of having to shell out $200 for a brand new elite.

    My son says it's the best Xbox controller he's ever used. It seems a little heavier but the button options are great and it's nice that the case can be used as a charging dock.

    This is easily the best controller for XBOX or PC gaming as far as customization and control of button mapping down to how the stick respond. I have been using these over the after market ones since the first generation. There is a little "adjustment" period coming from the first generation but once you feel out what you want it makes it super easy to fine tune your settings. Want to try a new confing make a new one from your roiginal have have the security to switch back if you don't like it with the multiple configs. Map a few games and load them in and out with the tools. The newer shift feature is awesome to map multiple buttons to the same set. There is the issue with stick drift after the manufacturer's warranty but the tech support or best buy protection makes it well worth the cost. Buying this full price with the protection plan is still cheaper than an after market that only has a 30 day warranty.

    Great controller. This version is supposed to have fixed the stick drift issue as well. So far, no problems with it and it works great. The only thing is it doesn’t come with all of the accessories.

    This is only worth the cost if you have a current broken elite controller or you want to find after market sticks and paddles.

    I had my doubts with this controller seeing how many people had an issue with the previous model. Everything has held up well. I would give it a 5 star if it wasn't for having to adjust everything from a memu. Compared to other cheaper controllers that you can program the padels on the fly... mid game.

    Love this controller! It fits really well in your hands and the weight of it compared to the OG Series x/s controller is a nice change as well.

    Best Controller Period

    This is hands down the best controller ive ever held/used. It beats out anything playstation, nintnedo, even third parties have to offer. Rubberized grip around the fronts and back so your hands will never slip, customizable back paddles for FPS/Racing games is a must, three different profiles that can be saved for stick sensitivity and more. Also really bice that it comes with an extremely durable case that has a hard shell on the outside with a magnetic charging stand and awappable sticks on the inside. I also bought the warranty just in case but i take care of my stuff so we’ll see if i end up needing to replace them. So far so good.
