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 ordered two elite Xbox controllers, selected the date for delivery, and they were there when promised. Price was very competitive and I searched many sites. Pleased overall.

    A great controller for having more control on your games. It also has a good grip and the trigger locks are great as well.

    Its kinda a pile of crap but works better then any scuff controller on the market. The bumpers will stop working after a year. This is a known issue. Some people with new controllers have had issues with the A button sticking. If you want a scuff type controller this is the one to get. But beware and get the geek squad warranty. It will eventually break

    Bought this to replace the series 1 Elite controller. Happy with it so far. Hopeful it doesn't have the issues the 1st series had with stick drift and the rubber grips pealing off.

    Overall a great controller plus the bundle with the extra paddles and charging dock/carrying case. Well worth the price compared to just the core controller. I use mine on pc which was a simple bluetooth connection, plus programmable outputs.

    I’ve owned two series 1 elites and so far this controller is quite the improvement for the most part. The buttons all feel about the same, but the grips seem to be implemented far better than the series 1’s grips. The only minor nitpick I have is the buttons (namely the paddles) feel almost too click (this is a matter of personal preference really), and they’re also slightly different in their shape compared to the series 1, which I thought it’s paddles were just fine and didn’t need tweaked. Other than that very minor gripe I think I love it. The rechargeable

    Great controller. So many customizations in the Xbox accessory app. I love the different size thumb sticks and the D pad that’s included. Love the paddles, even though there was a slight learning curve for me on those. I like the fact that you can create a profile for different games and save it your controller. The controller doesn’t feel cheap and feels good in your hands. I do recommend you get the extended warranty due to the fact that controllers do have issues due to the amount of use they are put through. Great controller and a nice addition to your console.

    Excellent customer service and an excellent extended warranty. Don’t be a fool get the extended warranty on all electronics. We have had to use it a few times in the last 2 years in various electronics and Best Buy has always treated us right on the replacement!!!
