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.

    Works great until they don't right You get a solid year, half a year in so make sure to get a warranty before the drift creeps

    Love the elite controllers. Would have liked for this to come with the accessory pack, but it’s still very good, if overpriced

    Worthless after 2 months

    This broke after only two months. The right joystick, which I never use, spins freely when centered, and gets stuck when I move it up. Microsoft warranty is worthless as it costs $49 for shipping and parts. It lists specific parts but I don't even know if that will fix it. This is the most I have paid for a controller and have been very careful with it. My old, generic XBox controller lasted for years.

    Series 2 improves on Series 1 Elite

    The series 2 is an improvement for the most part. Paddles feel more comfortable to use and hand grips better. Love the 360 style thumb sticks Watch out for: The rubber pads on trigger locks. They might fall off and pinch you to let you know they're not there anymore. Eventually you don't notice it missing. The rubber grips vastly improved on by first controller but some times pop up from long term use. Just pop it back in and it should fix it. Get a warranty just in case :)

    It's a fantastic upgrade and is worth every penny. I was in the crowd of those who would never pay extra for a controller until the one that came with my Xbox got the dreaded joy-con drift. So I picked this up for myself, and trust me, I'll never use a different controller for Xbox or PC.

    I am an xbox elite controller power user. I bought the gen 1 controller when it came out and then upgraded to gen 2. The latter was the worst controller in terms of durability. I upgraded to this one because I didn't need the accessories. So far so good. Just to be safe I bought the warranty. No regrets.
