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.

    Absolutely phenomenal controller especially if you like tight sticks they still use potentiometers though.

    My fiancé bought this controller for me and it is the best controller. I love the quality and the extra paddles that comes with the controller.

    My 10yr old son what was the remote don’t think he’ll ever go back to the regular remote after having this one. He likes that you can change the joystick pieces to his comfort and the paddles on the bottom of the remote great. The battery last a long time I am usually charge it for him after three days of use I don’t think it’s ever been dead since he got it and when he plays on for a long time, so it’s definitely quality remote anybody who’s looking for a good remote definitely get this one.

    This should have been a day 1 purchase, even before any games had been installed on the Xbox series x. It feels infinitely better than the lame controller that comes packaged with the console.

    Although it’s built like a tank and the quality is superb. The issue with stick drift continues. I don’t know why Microsoft can’t get this fixed. Anyways, the control feels amazing. I just wouldn’t recommend it for competitive gaming.

    Better than the standard controllers. But they do not last much since the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.

    We got our first one towards the end of last year to replace a failing Elite 1 controller. Unfortunately, the controller we got had the oft reported button problems. Upon return, it took almost a week to get the replacement. This one did work correctly. From a gameplay perspective, though, it is an excellent controller. Its programability is good. The paddles are a huge improvement over the original Elite. It feels better in the hand, as well. One big plus is that the hand grips are still solidly attached after almost a quarter of a year. On both prior Elites, they had started to peel off by this time. That is a great step forward. This is the best of the wireless controllers available. If you get it, though, I would STRONGLY recommend getting the Geek Squad extended warranty. For most purchases I would never get it. For the Elite controller, I promise you, you will need it eventually. At the very least, you will want to trade it in for a new one before the warranty expires. Then spend the few bucks for a warranty on the replacement. Just be warned, the price for that warranty has gone up a bit. That tells you something about the quality issues. Nevertheless, once you do get a good controller you will be quite happy with it. If you can use a wired controller, you might want to look at the Razer. If you need wireless, this is probably the best option. (I personally am not that fond of Scuff.)

    This is a beautiful controller, great for the gamer in the house. Beautiful black color. Soft and sleek. Easy to clean and easy set up. Comes with protective case for traveling and storage when not in use. Beautiful upgrade from regular controller.

    I really really like the series 2 in every way but this is my 2nd one. Hopefully it doesn't have stick drift like the last one. My series one went through 5 of the first series with same issue. I dont drop or throw controllers. I use them and set them on the charger. At $180 i take care of them! They are the best controllers out there. (When they work). Get the extended warranty. Its totally worth it.

    This is my 3rd Elite series 2 controller. The first two had issues with the bumpers (one right after the one year warranty, the second one almost at 6months). The controller itself offers great utility but for whatever reason the bumpers fail to stand the test of time.

    Honestly it sucks what you have to go thru to find a 100% working controller, i had returned 2 from batch 2035 and found 1 from batch 2034 and have no issues. Quality control aside its great Microsoft increased their warranty to 1 year. The controller itself is super cool though and everything you get with it, the nice case, the charger, interchangeable parts, and the settings you can tweak from the vibration on each motor to the brightness of the logo. Quality issues aside its really a dope gamers controller.

    Completely love the feel of this controller. Easy to hold. Very heavy compared to others. Works great for cross platform with the eight bit duo. If you have a program properly to be recognized as the different series, Xbox controller works well for Sniper games.
