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.

    Best controller I’ve used, I love that it weighs more than most other controllers, it feels very good quality and I’d buy another one if I ever needed too!

    Sometimes I want a weightier, firmer controller. And this thing does the trick. It responds and holds up well when tightly gripping and quickly pressing many inputs in a short period of time. Totally awesome purchase!

    Comes in a great case for carrying and storage. Works as intended - feels far better than the XBox One controller I was using prior to this. I am using on PC, and the paddles and adjustability of the controller makes fore a great product. Little pricey, but worth the investment if you game at all and need a solid controller.

    Good, but expect stick drift

    Replaced multiple of these controllers that all exhibited some level of stick drift brand new from the factory. Microsoft elite controllers are known to have looser manufacturing tolerances versus their standard controllers. You can find many examples online of people saying their controller exhibited the same behavior. If the stick drift doesn’t bother you, it is otherwise a great controller.

    Super dope controller. Feels amazing in your hands and comes with tons of extra paddles etc. unfortunately mine is missing the charger that comes w it but it’s a standard USBC so I can charge it myself anyway. Feels durable and super high quality but also comes at super high price. Great gift for a serious gamer but casual players don’t need all this

    I tried to upload a picture of my controller along with the grips I bought separately! THIS IS THE BEST CONTROLLER IN THE PAST 6 years of streaming and gaming that I have found. I will never go back. Talk about a disadvantage when it comes to you against other players! They better watch out. My k.d has gone up immensely and has made the experience of Xbox fun again for me. Thanks guys!!

    Overall, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller delivers a premium gaming experience with its customizable design, superior build quality, and enhanced performance capabilities. While it comes with a higher price tag compared to standard controllers, its advanced features and durability make it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers.

    I play roughly 10-12 hours a week. It’s the simply the best. Buy the protection plan! one of the buttons will eventually go bad, I have used both versions of the elite controller and after an extremely slow/painful exchange that took almost two months to return to me I’m working order. I had geek squad on the second elite controller and could not feel more justified in a purchase. Stopped into a store, person helping me went and grabbed a new one off the shelf and I was out the door before my appt was scheduled to start. The controller quality is unmatched but hinders the durability, buy the 2-3 year protection plan.

    Xbox Series X Elite Wireless Controller

    Got an Elite Wireless Controller because my standard XBOX Series X took a dive on a Joystick. My friends use these and I can see why. My scores immediately improved and I could program the paddle shifters below for what I wanted. The only downside is that you can have 3 different "Button Layouts" and there is a button to Toggle through them. During a game if you get "crazy fingers" and tap the "button profile select button, prepare to crash, die, respawn somewhere else because YOU told it to. Solidly built and take death grips on the horns and hard pressed on joysticks quite well. It holds" zero" joystick center very well.

    Great product if you don’t need the case/paddles or like us we have the case and sticks from our original elite 2 controllers and don’t need to pay $50 more for it. Great holiday present for your Xbox gamer.
