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.

    Excellent condition but was pretty dirty. Nothing a qtip and isopropal couldnt handle. Within a month I’ve already encountered bumpers hitting twice when I hit them once, or sometimes not registering at all. In great condition apart from bumpers and surface dirtiness

    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.

    This controller is the best that you can buy when gaming. It has a lot of features and you can modify it however, you want and have different settings for each game.

    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

    This new iteration of the Elite controller is well... ELITE! It is one of the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used and is better than any 3rd party pro controllers you can get! A tad pricey but well worth it! It has an internal rechargeable battery and the battery life lasts for days! Like binge playing all day... days! Must have for shooters too. Literally cannot play shooters anymore without paddles! Perfect compliment to a new Series X having 60-120fps!

    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.

    I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller.  I like the different opinions available to me.  The controller itself is nice and comfortable.  You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again.  There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

    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.

    So I was skeptical at first about this purchase due to the mixed reviews. I’ve had this controller for about 6 months now and I can honestly say after countless hours and long nights playing the game, not to mention how many times I’ve accidentally dropped it on my hardwood floor that it still works perfectly. I’m here to tell you to go for it if you want to transition to paddles. I have and I’m not going back to regular controllers at least for FPS etc.

    The controller for the series X that comes with the console is awful. It’s click clack buttons and AA battery compartment are shameful. This controller however is the one that should have come with the system. As I’m writing this review it’s on sale for Total Tech members for $140.00 and it’s worth that easy. It’s every bit as good as any custom Scuff PS5 controller that are selling for $230.00. If you love your Xbox and hate the cheap controller they packaged with it here’s the remedy.

    This controller is excellent. I'm using it with a Microsoft Xbox pc wireless adapter to play PC games on Epic, Rockstar, and Steam. The response is great and it's a very reliable and versatile controller. I originally bought this with the intent to purchase the paddles down the road. If that's what you have in mind, just buy the complete Elite Series 2 controller so you don't have to deal with finding paddles.
