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 have had the controller for close to two months and the paddle shifter are lose and there is slight stick drift. I do like the the ability of have multiple button mapping configurations. I like the weight of the controller and the grips. I also, like how easy it is to interchange the thumb sticks options. The cable is of good quality and I high recommend the purchase of this controller.

    Probably the best controller as long as you don't damage it and cause stick drift. I've had 3 of these in total and if one breaks I'll probably buy another. Comfortable and grippy, useful customization and charging case, long lasting rechargeable battery, multiple user profiles, and a very high quality feel. Just make sure you get a warranty or treat it very carefully

    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.

    Our son loves his MS Elite Series 2 wireless controller for Xbox and I can't imagine him gaming or using his Xbox without this wireless device. It has proven to be the most durable and best performing controller he has had the privilege of using to date. The photo is of the controller that is 9 months old and still in great condition!

    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.

    This controller is a game changer, being able to do multiple things at once with the paddles really improves how well you perform. Also being able to fine tune the controllers triggers and analog helps with being able to react much quicker when getting shot in games. It was a bit difficult for me to figure out what settings I wanted for certain games but the best way to find settings for me was to search up settings for specific games and then adjusting it to my liking. Overall positive experience.

    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!

    Unbeatable customization. Amazing built-in battery life. You get several thumb sticks to choose from. You can also change out the D pad to the traditional cross style. Thumb sticks are held in with strong magnets making it easy to switch them out on the fly. You get to save an additional 3 button mappings for different games that you can change at the press of a button. There are an additional 4 buttons to use underneath the controller as well. The entire controller has a very premium feel to it. Highly recommend!
