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.

    Sick controller! My kid loves this and I don’t think he’ll ever use a regular one again. Pricey, but awesome!

    As far as the use of this controller after 5 years of using the elite controllers I can't even go back to using a regular controller. I love this controller. On the other hand I've replaced my controller 3 times due to the left or right bumper not working after a period of time. My advice make sure to pay for the best buy coverage and replace it as needed.

    So far so good after a couple weeks. Its so much nicer than the standard Xbox controllers. Dont see myself being able to go back to them now. Feels much better in the hand, its nice that you can adjust so much with it. From the tension on the sticks to being able to adjust the extra sensitivity setting on it through the xbox. Im loving this controller.

    it's a good controller used it for years now but every few months I need it replaced due to stick drift or the bumper isnt working. it feels great, good grip love the adjustable triggers and joysticks but paying over 100 for this isn't worth it unless you get a warranty because most likely you're gonna need it later on

    As an avid gamer, I would say this is one of the better controllers you can get for this price.

    Customization at your fingertips, and a USB-C connect and charge port for connecting to PC without Bluetooth. Great for gaming on the Xbox or PC. The included charging station is substantial enough to survive my kids, and uses a magnet to keep the controlled fit snugly while charging.

    Controller was great for the first year but has seen significant battery life decline and stick drift issues. For the premium price I did not anticipate these issues, especially when the standard sixty dollar controller performs better.

    Controller has built in rechargeable battery which uses a usb c to charge which is great. I use my laptops 65w charger for this. Fills it fast. Have switches on back to change trigger pressure required to execute button press for both triggers so you can pull far less to make something like shooting in a fps faster. Also really like option to customize button layout and easily switch between 3 profiles like this. Costly but controller is very nice.

    This WAS my 2nd elite. Ended up getting the white and black recently becuz this elite bumpers were messed up and the left thumb stick wouldn’t move my in game character forward nor sprint. I was out of warranty and couldn’t send it in. So I now have 3 elites smh. Series 1 and two series 2. Lol it’s a great controller for PVP and PVE. Just don’t drop the controller. Not even once.
