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.

    Its a very good controller, i like the trigger function and the interchangeable thumb sticks and d-pad. even the pack pedals are amazing and helps me play better without having to move my fingers. i would recommend but take care of it because the switch cover on the back broke off but it still works fine. Also its easy to lose pieces as they can fall off pretty easily.

    Perfect Controller Marred by One Thing

    This is my second Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 - the first was returned for a "sticky" A button (intermittently did not work unless you pressed hard. I returned that, and some time later purchased a new one when they were on sale - the A button is about 95% ok and I'm good with that. I'd recommend the Geek Squad replacement coverage if you're going to invest this much in the controller, as there are plenty of online reviews that state there is some level of poor quality control. Aside from that, it truly is the perfect controller with the customizability, paddles, and (generally) solid construction. Sound purchase for the price.

    Greatest Controller Ever

    This controller provides me the edge I need to decimate the 12 year old punks that like to hurl the n word at me with reckless abandon. I used to have nothing to say because of how badly these young assassins would kill me, but now thanks to this controller I can talk back to them with Yo Momma jokes and about how promiscuous their mother's and sister's are. Now I feel like a big man when I play video games because now I can win on the field of battle and in the trash talking game and send those prepubescent punks crying back to mama and it is all thanks to this controller.

    Always Good, Not Quite Great

    Love these controllers but despise the fact that the common issues have still not been addressed. Left bumper has failed me on 4 of these controllers. Battery life is excellent, weight is great, paddles and customizability is fantastic. Just the freaking bumpers that always seem to crap out. Oh and stick drift has always been a problem. Given the price and the fact that pretty much everything else about it is solid, I would expect the bumpers to hold up better.
