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.

    I purchased this controller about a month ago and what a difference in gameplay. I no longer use the buttons during play instead am using the paddles which for me works much more efficient. The quality of this is amazing and better than any other controller I had. I was always a fan of PlayStation controllers until someone told me this controller will change my mind in many ways for gaming. If you are a hardcore FPS I recommend this controller all day long.

    Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is like, legit amazing. It's got these cool adjustable thumbstick things, a grip that feels awesome, and you can totally set up your own gaming profiles. Plus, you can switch it up with different thumbsticks and stuff to match how you game.

    The best controller on the market. I’ve had 2 of the original Elite Controller and this improved on it in every way. Better battery life, a case with built-in charging cradle, better (long lasting) grips, multiple thumb sticks, and thumb stick tension? They literally checked every box I could’ve asked for. It lasts longer too—none of that drift issue plaguing the first generation. I have used this every day since it came out and the only issue I’ve had was hand cramps from playing too long!

    I bought the Elite because I was sick of bumpers/sticks etc. breaking on my standard Xbox controller. And for a while, these controllers performed well. They feel great, the weight is good, and the accessories/customization options are a plus. But the bumpers still don't last. Look, I'm not throwing my controller around, dropping it, or button mashing. But somehow, miraculously, Microsoft made the bumpers on the Elite controller just as poorly as the original controllers; they get mushy/break with regular, long-term use. Overall, it's a good controller. Just pay up and get the Best Buy warranty, because you'll probably need it.

    Controller features is a FIVE STAR. the extra features are great, the four paddles, extra joysticks, tunable resistance on the joysticks. i've been using nothing but an elite 2 for the past few years. The downside, and it's a major one, is the controller durability. Since 2020 I've exchanged controllers about 8 times. I play a lot of warzone and the bumper buttons (LB, RB) are always the first buttons to start losing responsiveness. Usually one joystick will get stick drift, sometimes bothe will get it. Depending on how much you game, buy the $60, 2 year waranty.

    This controller was a great investment battery lasts practically for a few days on a full charge no drifting issues and if there was the special tool allowes tightening to cancel it out I highly recommend to all who needs a worthwhile controller “WONT DISAPPOINT”

    Overall this isis a solid product. The only problem I really have with it is the paddles are sort of it an awkward position. My hands start to cramp up because of it; so I find myself not even using them most of the time. The overall aesthetic of it is a nice touch.

    Best Controller Ever

    BEST CONTROLLER AVAILABLE! The lack of hall-effect joysticks is disappointing, but Gulikit holds the patent on using them in controllers. Near infinite customization, better bluetooth connection with Windows PCs, and good battery life. It got me to use my PC more, instead of relying on my Steam Deck or ROG Ally.
