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.

    I was actually lucky enough to find one of these on a geek refurb price. It wasn't scuffed, the box was as new looks, everything was there. So I have my second one... The first one, I'm actually looking to Dr. because how ever I hold the handles, I somehow squeeze and put too much pressure. So I, literally over time crushed some of the holding brackets. didn't know I could do that. But it doesn't matter, I'm getting some faceplates and going to try to make an Gold on Gold Elite controller. GoldFinger!!!

    It was tricky to set up even with the instructions, but it works good after the hour to setup. Only thing that I didn't like is that it wont register your profile with keyboard buttons if its not plugged in all in all when its working 10/10 when its not and I am having a hard time 6/10. Feels good and truly like the adjustability of the controller and its settings.

    Nothing Elite About This

    The rubber grip will peel off eventually and if you drop this control a FEW times it will really feel it. There's nothing elite about this controller at all. Plastic casing, Weak rubber grips, and abs thumb sticks that fall off so easily.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I think it’s a excellent controller , I’ve had 3 . I do play a lot . Especially FPS and for the most part these elite controllers give me a couple of years great use . It weighs about right and the customization options have been great. I know it’s costly but I really do feel like you get what you pay for . Microsoft also has a pretty good warranty with these controllers so I’m happy with my purchase

    So far this controller has perfomed well despite negative reviews regarding stick drifting. I come from using the Razer Wolverine Tournament edition and still enjoy that controller, but its just something about having the option to play wirelessly and still getting decent performance results makes my gameplay experience so much more enjoyable. I also do prefer the back paddles and adjustable stick tention over the Razer as well. Hopefully the quality lasts long.
