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.

    This is one of the best premium controllers you can get. It has a premium feel and weight to it. The thumbsticks being fully customizable is very useful and the paddles on the back are game changing. The only issue I have is that sometimes there is stick drift but it's not bad and you can adjust dead zone settings to help with that.

    I had a scuff prestige that gave me issues 2 months into ownership and within a year the controller wouldn’t even hold a charge when plugged in while playing. I had enough of scuff then found this on sale for like $40 off and it’s more comfortable and reliable than scuff. Love the easily removable triggers on the back and the metal d pad. Even the carrying case it comes in is so smooth. This is the controller for console not scuff trust me

    I loved and still love the first Xbox Elite Controller; however, this controller filled my need for wireless as well as more adjustability. The only reason this controller is not getting the 5th star, because the extra back buttons are much smaller than the original. Making it sort of awkward to use all 4, but this could change after a while of usage.

    amazing device. sticks are much tighter and more precise, adjustable resistance on triggers is very useful. i love the swappable sticks too. the long stick is great for precision aiming in fps games. the backpaddles are the best part. being able to do things like revive other players, reload, jump without having to sacrifice any measure of movement or control through moving a thumb off of a stick is huge

    Initial purchase had controller drift right out of the box. Best buy exchanged it, and the new controller works well. I do find it insulting that a controller at this price point does not come with paddles. Seems very “nickel and dime”

    So when I finally got my hands on the series x I bought a second controller so my son and I could play. The x box controllers are great! This controller is a total game changer. If you play FPS games having those paddles on the back will automatically up your game. This thing feels rock solid! I love that you can set the trigger distance, that was a big plus! Bottom line I would have went straight to this controller! It rocks!

    I know this is expensive, but you sure get what you pay for. Every facet of this controller announces quality, from the heavy feel, to the long battery life, to the charging cable and dock. It’s all in the details, and I can’t go back to a standard Xbox controller. I also now can’t go without the rear triggers which means I don’t need to click the sticks. I can’t wait to pair this with my Series X in November. I’m a both PS and Xbox gamer and find I play most multi-platform games on the Xbox because of this controller.

    Controller is solid and overall the best xbox controller out right now. I only use two back buttons. If you’re looking for 4 back buttons, I’d suggest the Scuf Instinct Pro. Would also suggest getting the 2 year warranty from Best Buy because controllers are prone to having sticky buttons and stick drift over time.

    This thing screams quality for the price I’m glad it’s comes with a case , a nice very long rugged wired and widely charger stand . The controller feels perfect , it’s very grippy and nice premium weight . I’m crappy because I can use this controller for the new Xbox series X coming soon ! I’m pre ordering mines from Bestbuy ! You should buy this I , I use this for call of duty and Mk and Racing games . I’m also a PlayStation fan too bad they don’t have a $170 controller. I recommend this product if your a hardcore gamer or casual.

    You can feel the quality of the materials used right away when holding this controller in your hands. Premium materials and the weight of the controller makes this the best one I have ever used. The battery life is great and you can plug it in and charge it while playing.
