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.

    Great purchase for a gamer at any level! Has a rechargeable battery and case that displays the controller great! The extra attachments allow you to get specific with how you play.

    This is my second one. The first was great for about 9 months but then I developed stick drift even though I keep it in the case and my hands are always clean. The reason I bought another is because I tried to use a stock controller but I'm used to the elite. No other controller feels as solid or as high quality as this one. I've tried the Scuf and if you hold this one, you can feel the difference. I'll not go to another brand for as long as I play

    Needed to replace my original elite series 2 controller but didn’t want to spend full price to get all the extras that I already have. This option is great in my opinion. Lower cost, same high quality and if you already have the paddles, case, sticks and charger or if you don’t care about those, this fits the bill.

    Playing the Xbox with this controller is like riding in a Cadillac on a sunny day. The device is the steering wheel you need to get your game on. It’s customizable and responsive to touch. The controler truly “puts you in the game” and allows you to be in full contol.

    It is nice that you can adjust the trigger buttons so that you don’t have to pull all the way. The D-pad cover actually makes the D-pad easy to use. And it has an internal battery. Is it worth the extra money??? I just wish the standard controller had this D-pad and battery.

    The controller itself is excellent but make sure to buy the protection plan as they break easily.

    Second controller I’ve gone through and I don’t even play often. The Series One I had also had to be replaced. For the money you spend, these controllers should last much longer.

    The whole controller is so comfortable, I can play for like 3 days straight without charging it, because I mainly play for 4 hours a day. The case that has the charger in as well is awesome!!

    I know I am not making full use of all of the customization features, but here is what I do like so far: • Ergonomics is excellent • Textured hand-feel is great • Weight and balance is the best so far • Very responsive • Love that you can customize the analog grips to fit your hands • Rechargeable built-in The one thing I wish it had: switchable binding between multiple devices. I have an xbox one, and xbox one x, and two nice windows computers. I wish there was a button that let me switch between controlling those different devices without reconnecting it to the device each time.
