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’ve heard a lot of negatives about how these controllers don’t last, but I’ve had it for over a year now and I haven’t had any issues. I love that you can customize the sensitivity and layout through Xbox as well. This is great because I primarily play ranked modes on FPS games.

    Absolutely love the upgrades that this controller has verses the older series 1 elite controller. The battery life is amazing, and it seems to have great durability. The only issue is that the corners of the rubber grips start to peel slightly after 2-3 months of heavy use.

    With this control in your hands you will be playing like a pro in no time. The quick response of the adjustable trigger locks allows for faster response time. Fully customizable button mapping with the use of paddles also allows for quicker and easier access to pull off those difficult combos. Definitely the controller on the market.

    Much better than standard controller

    I think this is the controller that should come with the Xbox Series X as standard, it has a high end feel, like the console, which deserves a special controller. It has incredible customization options, has a quality feel in hand, comes with wireless charger and if it lasts as long as my Series 1 controller (which still works perfectly to this day) then you can't go wrong. The PS5 controller may be better than the standard Xbox controller, but this controller trumps them all. Highly recommended despite the price.

    High quality and feels great in my hands. One star off because I think there the paddle position is close enough that occasionally I’ll press the bottom paddle if my grip is off at all. Also a star off because it came out of the box with stick drift, which is a common complaint with this model. Great overall with minor imperfections.

    Always get the warranty no matter what

    Love the paddles the design and honestly most of it. Where my issue comes in is the reliability/ construction materials. I’ve bought the warranty every time now as I’m on my 5th controller in 3 years. Always get the warranty always this will break especially the thumb sticks drift paddles lose functionality and the lb rb after a while of using while break. I play a ton Of 1st person and moba so my ability’s are mapped and set up which I love and you can have multiple loadouts for sodden games which is always a plus.
