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.

    What can you say about it, if you play on pc or console then you already know this is by far one of the best controllers to get. I would recommend this to anyone, but it's only fault is the dreaded stick drift. It may happen in a few weeks or years but it does happen. Once they add magnetic sticks, this will be the perfect controller but till then its nearly perfect.

    Controller was in excellent cosmetic condition, but unfortunately the Y and B face buttons were sticky and required firmer pushing to activate.

    If you need a replacement for a current elite controller it's a no brainer.

    What an upgrade from an xbox one controller. A nice premium feel and easy to pair. Also huge bonus that you can adjust the analog sticks in case you have stick drift

    When I bought this controller, I wasn’t sure if it was really all it was cracked up to be especially since I’m so used to the standard Xbox one controllers but let me tell you, I will never use any other controller, it feels great in the hands, the build construction is perfect and the battery life is even better, not to mention but the case and the extras are pretty sweet!

    I like that it is weighty and button presses are quieter. It doesnt have the premium attachments but you can buy knockoffs on Amazon.

    For being an open box buy, this controller works fantastic! Paddles on the back are fantastic for the extra control slots I use for multiple games. Snag one if you can!

    Really levels up your FPS experience. Takes a while to get used to the paddles but it’s a game changer if you’re trying to keep your thumbs on the sticks!

    Great controller overall and has less issues than my other Elite controller, but I’m still going to have to give a 3 star due to the fact that this controller also has some buttons that don’t work all the time and occasionally disconnects from the Xbox for no reason…

    So far so good. Ive mixed reviews about this item but decide to take the plunge (and getting the warranty just in case). It's been working great to far. It doesn't have the same issue that the OEM rechargable battery has. I haven't ran out of juice on this controller even after multiple days of usage with charging it. The build feels nice. I like a heavier controller, and the triggers and definitely nice to have. Is it life changing? No. Is it a gimmick? Also no. It's just a fancier controller with a. Few added features which are nice to have. Hopefully MSFT has had the time to fix the kinks.

    Great controller overall. If you overuse L1/R1 it can stop working with usual pressure. I have had to return 3 now for the same issue. Pros: paddles allow you to keep your thumbs on the sticks at all times and ease of use on non shooters Rechargable, good battery life Cons: L1/R1 issue
