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.

    Hands down the best controller you can get that is also an official license product. Very comfortable and easy to customize even though it receives bad reviews due to stick drift and some button problems at least now Microsoft is giving the elite series 2 a 1 year warranty. Everything works perfect as of now even though I only had it a few weeks but been using it daily with no problems I will update after 6 months or more to see how it holds up

    Best Xbox controller I have ever used. It fits in my hand perfectly. Conferable after a long play session and the programmable keys are a must now

    I was a bit hesitant to buy this, especially because of the pricing. Wasn’t sure if the price was gonna make it up or feel any different than any regular controller I used but I was so wrong. You can feel a difference in a quality controller. I love the case it comes with and the customization is great. Need to play a few hours with it to change it to your settings. Charging battery is a lot better as well and the pads make it easier to play more competitive if that’s what you want.

    Its a pretty good controller, i like how you can adjust the tension to the sticks and how far you want the lt and rt to go down, controller is pretty responsive and has nice qualities, it has a good gripping material and its just pretty good in general, would recommend.

    The build quality of this controller is solid, there are a few quality of life improvements added such as rechargeable battery, better grips and a button to adjust the profile that's in use (instead of a switch). If you're looking for a nice Xbox/PC controller this is a solid buy, if you have a Series 1 controller I wouldn't recommend the upgrade unless you get this on sale.

    I've been using this controller for almost a year now and I love it. I think this is the best controller you can buy right now. You can remap the buttons, adjust the sensitivity of each joystick, make 3 presets of customization for different games. The joysticks themselves can be swapped out for different shaped ones that come with it. I have gotten so used to the the paddles on the back that I can't go back to a normal controller.

    Best Xbox Controller

    Love everything about it -- except the new rubber padding that was extended over the handles. My old Elite controller they gripped really well; the new material feels waxy and slippery. Other than that, there's nothing to complain about. Comes with rechargeable battery and recharges by putting back in the case. Adjustable joystick tension, better paddle controls, and a host of other improvements make this the best conrtoller out there. If only it felt "grippier'....

    Best of the best. I had the original Elite controller (and still do.. 4 years and going strong). When I got the Series X Console, it seemed like a miss pairing to use a generic controller with such a beautiful console. Series 2 Elite builds on the strengths of the original... refined paddles, digitally selectable profiles, additional trigger stop options etc. it also has a great feature of being able to charge the internal battery while it in its case. A++ device.... that price tag tho....

    This controller makes the regular ones seem really cheap. You won’t want to go back and if you don’t like the finger buttons under, you can remove them. It’s great to be able to charge it via USB-C and not have batteries / battery packs Hands down the best controller and can’t wait for PlayStation’s version soon either. Well worth it and if you’re thinking about getting it, just do it
