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.

    Overall a great controller plus the bundle with the extra paddles and charging dock/carrying case. Well worth the price compared to just the core controller. I use mine on pc which was a simple bluetooth connection, plus programmable outputs.

    I hate giving this a 3 but its only because i had 2 of these in 1 year. I bought one the stick locked up , easily exchanged it because of warranty and the new one locked up in less then a week. Now the plus is its easy to set up and it has multiple sticks that work well with my thumbs. But for being the Xbox brand, im disappointed

    The controller has been rock steady for almost a year now and still performs flawlessly. It was easy to set up on the PC and has never had issues with connecting, or disconecting during gaming with the bluetooth connection. The battery life is very good as well, this will go several weeks without needing to charge for daily gaming. Highly recommend this product to anyone.

    Love this controller. I had one previously but lost it so I went back to basic controllers for a while but had to purchase another Elite controller. Almost a must have in my opinion for any xbox/pc gamers who enjoy handheld.

    Excellent customer service and an excellent extended warranty. Don’t be a fool get the extended warranty on all electronics. We have had to use it a few times in the last 2 years in various electronics and Best Buy has always treated us right on the replacement!!!

    A great controller for having more control on your games. It also has a good grip and the trigger locks are great as well.

    I was leery to pick up another expensive controller since the v1 grips peeled on mine. It has been a few months of average use and I see much improvement. It feels great in my hand, grips are a little light but I’ve had no issues with it slipping. Battery life is good and I enjoy the new charging station. I really don’t use the back buttons all that much so I won’t speak in their function. The triggers are smooth but again not all games recognize the short trigger pulls. Overall it’s a great controller that is more of a luxury item over a need. If you have the funds, go for it. If not, you won’t miss a lot
