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.

    Needed to replace my original elite series 2 controller but didn’t want to spend full price to get all the extras that I already have. This option is great in my opinion. Lower cost, same high quality and if you already have the paddles, case, sticks and charger or if you don’t care about those, this fits the bill.

    I know I am not making full use of all of the customization features, but here is what I do like so far: • Ergonomics is excellent • Textured hand-feel is great • Weight and balance is the best so far • Very responsive • Love that you can customize the analog grips to fit your hands • Rechargeable built-in The one thing I wish it had: switchable binding between multiple devices. I have an xbox one, and xbox one x, and two nice windows computers. I wish there was a button that let me switch between controlling those different devices without reconnecting it to the device each time.

    This would be my 3rd and final xbox elite controller purchase. Every single version.... Stick drift and double tapping right bumper. If you play fps games .. skip this one. You'd break it within 2 months. I'd out money on it. It's a shame. It feels really good on your hands, and the buttons feel so smooth, until it stops working properly.

    Playing the Xbox with this controller is like riding in a Cadillac on a sunny day. The device is the steering wheel you need to get your game on. It’s customizable and responsive to touch. The controler truly “puts you in the game” and allows you to be in full contol.

    It is nice that you can adjust the trigger buttons so that you don’t have to pull all the way. The D-pad cover actually makes the D-pad easy to use. And it has an internal battery. Is it worth the extra money??? I just wish the standard controller had this D-pad and battery.

    Best controller minus one correctable defect.

    So as far as paddled "pro" controllers go this undoubtedly the best you can get with 3 different profile, trigger stop, and stick resistances options along customizable aim curves this provides the best possible customization that a controller has ever offered. Everything has it buts and in this case, it comes in the form of slight drifts off of the slightest movements but is easily corrected with raising deadzones. If you would like to check out some gameplay of it check out ChasTheChad on youtube or twitch.

    Not for everyone. It is a great controller even for the money, but it is a different experience and for windows gaming it seems to give me a little trouble with Bluetooth compared to a standard BT Xbox controller. If you like Quality, customization, and ascetics this controller is for you.
