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 was skeptical about paying $200 for a controller

    This controller is amazing. I was very skeptical at first of paying over $200 for a controller (with the warranty), but this is the best controller I've ever owned. The grips, additional paddles, interchangeable joysticks and D-pad are fantastic. There are so many customizeable features about this and it feels like a premium product. You can tell that Microsoft put a lot of work into this controller design. I'd encourage others to purchase one unless you're holding out for next-gen controllers.

    This controller is near-perfect. Everything about it is excellent. Except for one major gripe. The analog sticks slightly drift, and they didn't start until past my warranty period. I had to adjust the dead zone to be a bit larger to compensate, and even then, right stick will now turn my character left slightly sooner and slower than it turns right.

    Absolutely love using these controllers but the longevity of the sticks before stick drift kicks in is killing me. On my second controller, the first one both sticks had serious stick drift that I could not handle and my Right Bumper became useless and stopped working. My second one now after six months my right thumb stick is now having stick drift making it impossible to use. Its perfect until issues arise.

    Having the paddles on the back does take a little getting used to, I’ve accidentally pressed them a few times. Mapping the extra paddles and learning how to use the profiles does take a little bit of patience, but works great once you get the hang of it.

    I have used the controller several times now, but the weight is something I have to get used to. There is a bit of learning curve with the extra paddles on the back. The price was excellent, but to be fair, I did get it as an open box item.

    Bought the product on March 5th 2022. Thought it was the best controller I’ve ever used. Now on June 4th 2022 the right stick just stopped working. It’s past the exchange period so now I have a 220$ paper weight. I only play games on the weekends so at most it’s in use 16/hr a week. You can do the math. Maybe you will get lucky with your purchase.

    Good product for what you pay for. I would just recommend getting warranty though because it’s just a matter of time when the controller will have some sort of malfunction mechanic going on. But overall it’s a good controller.

    I love this controller. However, at first, it did take a little to get used to the feeling in the hand coming from a regular controller. However, when I'm playing FPS games, I can definitely notice a difference and cannot go back to a regular controller now. I will say the reliability of this item is not that great. Only 5 months in the bumpers are not as responsive, sometimes not at all. I would say this is worth the price, but just be aware of the longevity.
