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.

    I got it as an open box, because they have a lot of them. It came with everything In the box, and works amazingly. I definitely recommend going open box, but if none are available, go for the normal one. It's got a weight to it, The joystick tension is adjustable Paddles are all remappable. Interchangable steel pieces You can even change the color of the logo I use the trigger adjusters most. 9/10, wish it came with the original box, but it was open box, so its what it is.

    I've had this controller for a couple of years now and I got to say its the best. The Elite 2 controller is a great ugrade to it predecessor. With further adjustments at your disposal and equipped with more thumb sticks and amazing battery life, this controller beats all. No need for any other controller once you have this in your hands.

    Works great the new shift feature is amazing. The stick tension is a feature that will make or break you so I’m glad they added it. There is 3 levels to the stick tension and the change from 1-3 is suddle so you must pay attention to the click feeling you get when changing between tensions. This will let you know when you entered a new tension mode. There aren’t many accessories for the controller since it’sa recently new control so your stuck with what you get. So no scuff sticks and limited grip options from other venders. Honestly with what they give you it’s all you need unless your like me you need two domed sticks, grip to add size to the small control for your hands and different size paddle for mix and matching for the perfect fit for you. Yes I like customizing controllers and for a base controller is pretty good.

    Love how customaizable it is with the changeable d-pad and the paddles. I was hesitant to use the paddles but once I got the hang of it and learned how to do the paddle assignments for my favorite games, it seriously is a game changer! I also LOVE how you simply dock it and it charges AND you can change the center Xbox button color!

    The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Controller is awesome! The controls are super responsive, and you can customize everything, which is great for gaming. The battery lasts forever, so no need to charge it all the time. It's a bit pricey, but worth it for serious gamers. Highly recommend!

    This controller won’t make you invincible on any game, and it is definitely priced that it’s a difficult to justify margin compared to a standard Xbox remote, but if you do make the leap, the controller experience offers a well rounded assortment of adjustments that make game play better and smoother. Some of the less known adjustments are the resistance to both joy sticks with three settings, and button mapping is set on the Xbox, not a computer as I originally feared. My favorite feature is the three trigger pull length settings for the left and right trigger, which adjusts quickly for various game types.
