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.

    Not for everyone. It is a great controller even for the money, but it is a different experience and for windows gaming it seems to give me a little trouble with Bluetooth compared to a standard BT Xbox controller. If you like Quality, customization, and ascetics this controller is for you.

    This is a really nice controller. Smoother and more precise than my old xbox one controllers. Apparently the "Core" version doesn’t come with any parts for some of the extra levers, so I had to drop $20 online for some aftermarket levers for the back of the controller.

    Good quality controller with a great battery life. I haven't had any complaints about the hardware. If you are looking to get this for use with your PC, know you will need to download/update drivers using an additional Xbox app. While inconvenient, it shouldn't deter you from the great quality comfort this controller provides.

    So as far as paddled "pro" controllers go this undoubtedly the best you can get with 3 different profile, trigger stop, and stick resistances options along customizable aim curves this provides the best possible customization that a controller has ever offered. Everything has it buts and in this case, it comes in the form of slight drifts off of the slightest movements but is easily corrected with raising deadzones. If you would like to check out some gameplay of it check out ChasTheChad on youtube or twitch.

    As much as I love the Xbox elite controllers, some times I feel as though they easily can break by simply using it too much or too little, and I bought this as I previously owned a controller thats warranty expired. Now I am not saying it will, but with this still being an elite controller with a different shell casing, there is a chance it could still break and me needing to send it in for repairs

    A Luxurious Upgrade

    I'm pretty sure this doesn't make me a better gamer but it certainly is a fantastic luxury. I love the back paddles and the variable trigger pulls. I still get tagged in 30 seconds in Halo by 12 year olds who play 8 hours a day but I feel like I'm more competitive and because it's a bit pricey, I'm less likely to fling it across the room in anger . . . at least I hope I'm less likely.

    Controller is fantastic! After two years it has worked really well. Little stick drift in the right stick, but nothing that renders it unusable.

    After using the controller for a few months, I have to say it’s great! The customization options for the analog sticks is good. But this really shines for me using Steam input on my PC to map the back paddles for additional button presses and shortcuts for games. Haven’t had any quality control issues yet as others have said online.
