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.

    First thought that came to my mind is that this is what every Xbox controller should be like feels very premier just like the PS five controller and also has USB-C to charge which is a huge downgrade on the regular controller that comes with the Xbox itself in 2022 we shouldn’t have to put batteries in our controllers as a new Xbox user on the series X I find it crazy that I had to buy another controller that was more up-to-date with what we handled today that’s why this controller get a five star for me for the fluidity smoothness and the rubber grip

    Works great had a great employee helping me aswell and he was accurate with everything he said! Controller is such an uprgrade and worth the price! Don’t have to buy batteries and also the extra joysticks/buttons have definitely helped me get better, makes you quicker and more swift.

    Ever since I first laid hands on the first Elite controller... I could NEVER go back to the basic one. It wasn’t perfect but it was a good step in the right direction. Now for the Elite Series 2 controller... its on a whole different new level for me, the tension adjusters on the sticks is what sold me, but the USB-C and longer 40 hours battery was a good hit. For sure the other features like slimmer paddles and Bluetooth for PC or Android use, even works with my NVidia shield ... however this must be an Apple iOS thing cuz I can’t get it to be seen by my iPhone while in pairing mode. Above all I HIGHLY recommend it if you are medium to heavy gamer. It’s definitely with the $30 more than the series 1

    Amazing Product, Definitely an upgrade over the original Xbox Elite Series 1 Controller! Thumb Stick tension adjuster is amazing, absolutely love it along with the Hair Trigger upgrade! Definitely improves gaming performance! This would definitely be a great gift for someone who own an Xbox One Console! This product is a 10/10 after owning a scuff controller for 2 years its quality definitely doesn't touch this amazing Controller, very solid and well made all around. Microsoft definitely knows what their doing with this controller. Just absolutely amazing!!

    Love this controller, bought first Gen and 2nd Gen twice now. After a few years the rubber mats on left side started to separate, while trying to fix it, I made it worse. So I bought another. Long lasting battery, tons of great customization I can switch up even mid game. Look fwd to Gen 3 but will today enjoy and recommend this controller to everyone

    Perfect controller!!! It definitely feels heavier and sturdier than other controllers. It held up really well and works perfectly over a year later.

    The control is great it give way more comfortable feel than the regular Xbox controller. The paddle on the back help keep your finger in the joysticks when needed the most. The only thing I don’t like is the bottom paddles I feel are too low and it’s hard to grip the controller with them in. Other than that it’s awesome.

    What it comes with is awesome, carrying case, charge cable, customizable sticks, and charging dock, and the battery life is excellent. Exceptional build quality and have had no issues so far. Dpad did wanna vibrate a lit when holding it though. Built in customizable app works seamless as well!

    Solid controller, but definitely make sure it is updated. I have not had any issues. It plays games and has some buttons on the back. It is nice to have the profiles for different games.

    I’ve bought this controller again and again, And will buy again if need. It lasts long and work extremely excellent. Then from customization to the mechanics work amazing. It also comes with a carry case along with interchangeable pieces. The best part is it’s also rechargeable. Not to also mention the adjustable triggers

    Honestly I was hesitant about purchasing this product with all the bad reviews on quality control. Went with BestBuy for their 2 year warranty and 1 month later I am happy to say the product is working great. Highly recommend if you are looking to upgrade your Xbox controller but keep in mind it will take some time to adjust to paddles and the sensitivity.
