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.

    Pros -Best feeling controller I have ever had. Fine controller, smooth, and great grip. Hair triggers are super nice. Cons- Left stick drift that started out as a very minor problem, them developed into a huge problem that custom joystick settings with huge deadspace eventually didnt even work.. This progressed over a single week..

    Once you use an Elite controller, its a totally different experience. I have bought numerous controllers over the years and I can tell you that the difference is clear with the Elite Series. Love the color options now (This is my second controller)

    I would like the A,X,Y,B to be quite a bit more responsive and not so nitpickey about how they are pressed. The overall feel and ability to customize how the controller plays are absolutely superb.

    Best controller I've ever owned but left joystick started to experience drifting (although only slightly) after 6 months of use. Was still within warranty so Microsoft fixed it for free.

    I bought an Xbox Series X system. Really love it but the controller seemed a bit weak. The buttons were loose, the joysticks were not real tight, and no texture to the body. A friend recommended I buy the Elite Series 2. Oh my gosh!!! The buttons are way better, the joysticks can be tightened or loosened, great texture with no slippage, and extra buttons on the backs. Everything can be programmed and you can setup three different profiles. And I got it on sale!!!!

    Packaging was good. Product came as described, good quality. Only issue was with delivery through FedEx. It was delivered to a different address, luckily the person walked it over to my house who accidentally received it.

    Much better hand feel than the standard controller. Easily customized with provided additional knobs. Still trying to get used to the paddles on back, as standard controllers do not include them.
