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.

    Got an open box - I had to return it via the Microsoft warranty 3 months later but for the price (120$) it was worth it since they sent me a brand new one right after.

    I was afraid to pay this much money for a controller even though I play my Xbox a lot, but this controller is pretty nice. I enjoy it and it’s worth the money.

    Absolutely love the upgrades that this controller has verses the older series 1 elite controller. The battery life is amazing, and it seems to have great durability. The only issue is that the corners of the rubber grips start to peel slightly after 2-3 months of heavy use.

    For the most part, feels like a normal controller. It would be nice if the cradle in the case could hold a charge to charge it on the go.

    Great controller. Some of the optional buttons feel cheap, but it creates an advantage with mapping buttons.

    Got this due to 1st gen elite controller breaking again. Had few problems with the first gen and seems Xbox fixed most of those problems with this second gen. Seems like the paddles are smaller then first gen elite and and the third trigger stop seems like it turns the trigger into a button with the limited rage of motion, which is probably going to take some time to get used to. Favorite upgrade from the first gen to second has to be the analog resistance control. Thought the resistance function wouldn’t be used be definitely find it useful. Would definitely recommend as long as it holds up longer then the first gen elite controller.
