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.

    Good controllers as I don’t have the need of the more expensive controllers. Only thing I notice is the buttons and joysticks can stop working after a year or more

    controllers a necessity for gaming. Its just too expensive, and its guaranteed to break, so get yourself that replacement plan. Im on my 3rd elite 2, as the RB/LB keeps breaking, or the little adhesive pads inside behind the triggers gets stuck and the triggers start sticking. This should be prices at $99.99

    After playing with it during the Halo Infinite Insider Flight, I'd highly recommend it! The buttons and reduced trigger time helps so much with FPS games specifically and it feels like a must if you're looking for a premium controller for PC and Xbox gaming. With so much customization on the controller and the app, it feels incredible. Can't wait for Halo Infinite and to try out the controller even more! I'll probably pick up Battlefield and Far Cry to use this controller more.

    Customization is cool and all. BUT The battery life alone is enough of a reason to buy this controller. Feels nice and well built, so far so good for the first year. The paddles on the rear of the controller are actually a blessing and a curse, some games you love using them and other games, well good thing they are removeable! Only reason for 4 out of 5 for 'value'; its expensive but worth it if you're a gaming enthusiast.

    I had to wait till stores opened back up in order to use the replacement plan I had purchased with the series 1 controller I previously bought my son. After the extra out of pocket cost plus another 2 year replacement, this ended out being a great birthday present for him. I think it has a few more attachments in comparison to the previous series and some more software programming functionality. The 2 year replacement is definitely worth it with the cost of the controller.

    Great upgrade to the previous Elite. I had an issue with the left joystick on the Elite 1. Swapped it for the Elite 2 and have been super impressed! Microsoft got smart and made this controller a rechargeable unit. It comes with a charging dock ad well. Best part...the battery life is GREAT! The controller feels very substantial in your hand and isn't flimsy AT ALL. I highly recommend! Make sure to get the Geek Squad warranty...just in case. Its totally worth it. Especially when you're spending this kind of cash on a controller!

    This is my second in four years. Right bumper broke on the first one, but geek squad replaced it. The new one is just starting to get stuck drift, so I'm going to get it replaced again before the warranty ends. Love the weight of the controller and it feels good. Definitely worth getting here so you can get it covered.
