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've had two previous Elite Series controllers. I definitely see the upgraded quality on this one against the previous version. The built in battery and the case being a charging case is also awesome. Idk if its because i've gotten use to the Series X controller or previous Elite controller but this one feels slippery. It just feels like it can fall out of my hands for some reason. I wish i knew why it felt that way. I also didnt know it didnt have the feature of quickly switching from PC to Xbox like the Series X/S controller by double tapping the sync button. I guess that new feature is something i've gotten use to. Regardless this controller is still great. The wireless charging is so convenient even with the fear of it degrading over time.

    This product peforms up to expectations. The grips are soft and comfortable while being grippy. The changeable parts are wonderful to allow adaptation for play styles and performence base bonus. Asjustable triggers allow for relax gaming to professional performence. This product comes with a charging dock to allow that you never run out of battery life. The case is super durable and quite useful giving space for the inchangable custom parts. I would recommend the product to anyone with Xbox, and PC gaming.

    So far so good. The old elite 2s bumpers and paddles would go out on me playing fortnite competitively so hopefully these ones are more durable.

    Controller is amazing for improving gameplay, not only but the paddles are a game changer, using this controller also has perks with the xbox mapping tool to change how games can be played, overall the quality is great and doesnt feel cheap, also the controller is rechargeable with charging dock which is very modern and nice, the battery life is also very good, i can play multiple days for more than 4-5 hours each day before having to charge it

    Great sturdy controller that enhances me as a gamer and gives me the necessary edge to keep up with the PC gamers that can move faster than a console player. Love the battery life and features.

    I got this to replace my 2 year old elite series 2 which was starting to feel worn out. I just took the old paddles and put them on the new one. The black and white storm trooper look is nice.

    This controller has changed gaming on my Xbox forever. I don’t want to game with any other controller. From the grip, adjustable triggers, paddles, and options/settings; it’s incredible. The only downfall is that it’s my 4th one. The Rn/lb for me have broken or become unplayable because of how hard I need to push down on them. I don’t know if I personally have had bad batches but that’s my main complaint. For a controller that is very expensive I should only have to purchase one. But like I said I don’t want another controller lol this makes gaming very fun and they’re a breeze to use.
