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.

    Amazing Controller -- Be sure to get insurance

    I had the prior Elite Controller and loved it. The Series 2 is a noticeable step up. Performs amazingly in every aspect you would expect. I also own a Razer Wolverine Ultimate and the Elite out performs it in comfort, design, and precision. Unfortunately with such high precision there is a down side. - Down side, mico stick drift did start within 3 months of use but again if you have Best buy insurance just exchange it if it ever gets noticeable. - Friends have had bumpers go out but at 6 months of use I have had no major issues.

    Best controller I’ve used! The paddles are such a game changer (ha ha). But seriously the weight, the quality are far above the standard controllers. Highly recommend

    Love these controllers. Had the elite series 2 for like 4 years and it finally gave up. Getting the core after allowed me to use my spare parts from the elite series 2 to customize the elite core. It’s a more affordable option if you already have elite parts!

    Super high quality product. Comes with all 4 paddles, and 4 extra joysticks depending on preference. Comes in a nice carrying case also. It’s got some weight on it and feels like a very sturdy product.

    I had the elite series one and that was great until I started getting ghost movements in the left joystick. The series 2 Elite feels a bit better with the added grips and I LOVE the recharging feature. Been playing 7 days straight still haven’t needed to recharge the remote. And this is 5-7 hours a day playing. I love that I can map the triggers in the back for games like APEX and Smite. Very customizable. It is expensive, but you “feel” the difference. I think a little cheaper and it’s 100% hands down the best controller ever.

    MS Elite 2 Wireless Controller is off the wall good. Looks and feels fast and with the paddle shifters you really get the bang for the money.

    The best controller i hafe ever used in my life. It is built to be very solid. The trigger brakes make shooting and accelerating with the triggers so easy. Customizable home button colors, interchangeable sticks, 4 programmable control schematics, this thingbis a beast! A must-have for any serious gamer.

    Best controller I used hands down. If you are looking for a solid controller to actually game and use all the features to the max the elite series 2 is the way to go. Never had any problems with this controller besides the left or right bumper rarely work after a few months of consistent use. But other than though this controller is worth the price now that they lowered it.

    I like how the controller felt in my hands when i first used it. Very premium feel. Should bought one of these a long time ago lol. I like how i am able to make adjustments to my controller ans have it set with profiles. Tif you sre looming for a great controller for your Series X you should give this one a try. Just my opinion
