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.

    It's awesome, but do yourself a favor & get some kind of extended warranty. Tends to wear out quickly. I've replaced a couple over the past 2 yrs.

    This Elite Controller Series 2 is an exceptional device that offers a wide range of customizable features. It is the sole controller I utilize for gaming on the Xbox Series X.

    I can not express how convenient this controller is. How easy it is to use and change the physical attributes on the fly. Programming the remaps within a separate application is not ideal; however one can setup multiple profiles and change the color of the power button to indicate which profile goes with which button layout. It's a bit heavy; but overall, Microsoft killed it with this one! Worth every penny.

    This controller comes stripped of the paddles and the charging station which is fine. I already have that from the previous elite and it was nice to save some money.

    After not having used an Xbox controller since the first one, which was gigantic, this is a great feeling controller. A little small for my hands but it does bother me and still feels great. The buttons are responsive, and the build quality is great. Sometimes it has had a hard time connecting to my pc but that could just be a me thing.

    Not as compatible as I wanted.

    I found this to work very well with the PC games I use. However there were some automatic features that were enabled that caused pop-ups to occur when I used various control buttons or combinations. It was extremely annoying and game breaking and took time, effort and research to find how to remove the "features" and be able to play how I wanted. Since I got this specifically for the easy compatibility I was quite disappointed. The quality of the controller, fit, finish and feel are all excellent.

    It's a great design, but for the price it should've lasted way longer. With simple use, nothing out of the ordinary, it lasted for about a year. The rubber sides started peeling away and it also began having stick drift. I wouldn't recommend spending this much on a controller that won't give you much in return.

    I got this and their headphones at about the same time thinking they would be easy to link and use together. Nope! Returned the headphones. I kept this because I think/hope that I can make some adjustments once I sit down and figure how to do that. Still, for my large hands the paddles are too long, as in the way, too easy to hit accidentally. They feel like a good solid build. Aside for the paddles, it seems to be a good controller. I would recommend, but with these concerns.
