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 controller is all about quality manufacturing, improved controls, and heightened sensitivity – perfect for gamers who love to play a lot. Plus, the charging dock is a really cool bonus. Sure, it's a tad pricey, but in my opinion, the quality you get makes it totally worth it.

    The elite controller is the best controller I ever had with the paddles to add to it make it even more elite.

    For the amount of options and things you can do with this controller, I personally enjoy it compared to the typical regular Xbox controller a person can get. Me personally however, I waited for when there was a sale going on for Best Buy, or if there was an open box version available

    I have hear all the negativity concerning this controller which made me very hesitant to purchase. I've had it now for just over a month and all I can say is so far so good. It feels great in the hands and the buttons/paddles are super sensitive which I love. I cant speak for all who purchased this controller but I've had zero problems. Because of all the bad reviews I did purchase the warranty to go with it so I have that extra security. All in all I would highly recommend.

    Way better than normal controllers. Love the triggers. The only thing is that after a while the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.

    Love this controller. This is one feels very good compared to the black series 2. I can use on my gaming PC an my series x. The only thing is it just don’t come with other accessories. But that’s why the price is just right.

    I had the original elite and that controller was my absolute favorite of all time so hopefully this one serves me just as well. The back paddles are by far the best ergonomically and the added charging dock is a nice addition over the original as well as the added trigger step and new color scheme. I literally can't go back to regular controllers anymore.

    Great controller, but bumpers break easily

    The controller worked great, and the paddles on the back were able to work with rebinding native keys, but with the default configuration I was also able to use Steam controller configuration to rebind keyboard and mouse keys to the controller. It had everything I wanted, and it handles very well. But, after about 6 months of use, the right bumper broke, and because I didn't purchase a protection plan I now have to repair it on my own, or just deal with a broken button. I read reviews online about "just rebind the RB to one of the paddles," but come on, no one wants a broken button, and it shouldn't have broken this soon in the first place. I read online that this was a problem with the series one controller, and apparently it hasn't been fixed in the series two. If you buy this, make sure to get the protection plan, because chances are your bumpers are going to break. Other than the bumpers, I've had no problems with the controller.

    You can feel the difference in quality on this controller compared to the standard Xbox ones. Even if you are not looking to use all of the features, you might have gone through two or three controllers already because they broke. Good investment to make if you are in that situation or if you do not want to keep on replacing part on your controller. The customization on the elite is endless. The four paddles feel great. The ability to tighten and swap out the joy sticks is also great.

    Controller feels premium! Great build cool case you can charge it in. Everything about my working one is awesome unfortunately the first one I purchased had mechanical sticking A and X buttons. Luckily Best Buy quickly replaced it for me as it was a factory defect! Was worth the investment if you are interested in a premium controller

    Excellent Controller so far. I hope it lives up to its reputation. I'm an avid gamer and have gone through many controllers. So far this is up there, however I think I preferred the arrow Dpad buttons.
