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.

    Controller for Competition Fortnite gameplay

    Bought over 8 different controllers for my son including the first Elite controller. This controller was a favorite besides the inability to endure the life of a streamer. Bestbuy replacement plan is great and bought two of these controllers so that while one is working the other one can be exchanged, however just like the elite one series Bestbuy goes out of stock on these controllers and there is none to replace it with. For this reason I bought my son the Wolverine Ultimate and it is his new favorite. Bestbuy does not stock this controller though. Only time will tell if it can last longer than 2-3 months. For more information go to https://www.twitch.tv/devouralphaa follow and ask in real-time when he is streaming.

    The elite series 2 has solved all the issues from the original. The analog stick tension adjustment is the best feature. Overall the controller is well build and feels solid. I am happy with the internal battery life as I go weeks between charging.

    So far a great buy. Only difference between this and regular elite is it doesn’t include paddles but I’m not a fan of so it’s okay, plus you can buy separately.

    Best Controller for Xbox to out frag the enemy!

    The short travel of the triggers is great for FPS. If you take the time to map the buttons, adjust the sensitivity of the thumb sticks, adjust in game sensitivity to match, and then practice, this controller works wonders. If just buying it to use as a controller and never diving into the settings, you're better off saving your money and getting a regular controller. Spend the time with the controller settings on the Xbox and in game settings and you will enjoy using the Elite 2 Controller and never go back. That is the reason the settings are there!!! If you need a starting point, look up what others are doing for a particular game, start there and tweak to your liking,

    A bit high in the price for a xbox controller, my last elite controller lasted about 2 years, which isnt great for the price. Hopefully this controller lasts longer.

    I really like the hefty weight the controller has, and I can't play without the paddles anymore. However, after about a year of use the right bumper sometimes drops the input. while one of the paddles feel stiff. On top of if I squeeze it a little to hard it cuts off. And it randomly disconnects. I really love this controller. I just wish it lasted a little longer for the price tag

    I have for a long time been very displeased with XBOX controller that were manufactured by Microsoft. You ended up paying a premium price for a product that was anything but. They would malfunction after a marginal amount of time, and even physically break with little wear and tear. The Elite 2 is proving to be a step in the right direction. The premium build quality and vast amount of customizable features make for a very well made, and well conceived controller. USB-C or wireless charging by way of a docking station that is provided are great additions to improve the value. The down side is really the idea that it takes over $150 of a price tag for Microsoft o provide a quality controller option. But at least it's a pretty good one.

    Excellent controller. Different length sticks help a lot with different types of games for aiming and such. Solid and quality feel. I tried oan evil controller but it felt cheap and flimsy by comparison.
