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.

    Absolutely love this controller. Got it as a birthday gift just as my previous one was quitting on me. Wife was able to order and pickup with ease.

    Worth the upgrade

    I decided to upgrade my normal XBox controller to this, and it was definitely worth the money. First, it has a jack for any headset rather than just the funky XBox headset. Having the paddles on the back is still taking some getting used to, but it helps you keep both thumbs on the joysticks. Adjusting the trigger pull is something I never thought about, but it has improved my gameplay. Overall, it is much more expensive, but a major upgrade from the original XBox controller. The only downside is the lack of customization. Fortunately there are some wraps and cases you can get aftermarket to truly make this controller your own.

    I literally don't think I could game without this controller anymore. I'm hooked and dependent. Bought it for the paddles to be able to keep my thumbs on the sticks for Call of Duty Warzone and it does exactly that. Takes a bit to come around to using the paddles. I only use the two small back paddles for jump and slide, my brain can't comprehend four of them lol. But honestly, so worth the money. I see people complain about the series 1 controllers and maybe even series 2, I've had zero problems. The additional thumbstick sizes, the standard d pad, charging dock, case, customizable setups, wireless aspect and just the weight/grips make this controller awesome. It's seriously so crucial.

    Not a fan of the analog sticks, they have 3 adjustments but all feel a bit stiff for what I'd prefer. Otherwise its a phenomenal controller.

    Best Controller I have ever owned

    The title says it all... although this was a little more than I planed on paying for a controller I do not regret the purchase one bit. The only slight complaint is that it is pretty heavy and you start to notice during longer gaming sessions. The weight speaks to the quality of the build it does not feel like a cheap piece of plastic in your hands. I use it for gaming on my PC, getting it initially configured was a breeze and I have had zero issues with reconnecting or any issues with disconnects either. Love it!

    Solid controller. Wish it didn’t have stick drift often. I go through 3-5 controllers every year

    Never knew what the hype was for these expensive controllers until i finally bought one! The grip is better, and the material feels more premium! If you are hesitant on buying this controller dont wait go ahead and buy it!

    Excellent Controller, I have the protection plan too, but let's hope I don't need it for at least a year. Simple setup even with Win11 or 10.
