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.

    Xbox elite controller definitely is the step up every xbox gamer should be given the gift of, from being super comfortable to ultimate customization on textures to the controls, even the 4-paddle trigger backing to the controller is next level

    This is an amazing remote to have, especially with shooter games. You can make adjustments that cater to your own personal playing style.

    Bought the black and the white core of these, both easily get a slight stick drift. But the remote itself feels and looks awsome.

    Definitely a fantastic controller whether you’re using it for your Xbox or Pc. Grips are great, its a good feel. Like that it you can adjust how firm the joysticks can be. Adjustable triggers as well obviously. Only negative is that maybe size of my hands but I accidentally hit the trigger switches that control how far it travels by accident sometimes. And the fact it doesn’t come with the case and extra accessories is unfortunate

    I was a little worried about by this remote because all my other remotes analogs seem to go out but this one is still holding strong. The grip the material is holding up and I play at least 4 hours a day. Even though it is pricey I highly recommend it.

    I finally managed to talk myself into getting one of these and I have zero regrets. The construction, weight, and responsiveness of this controller is awesome. I love how I can configure it and the weight and feel of it in my hands when I am playing.

    Quick, Responsiveness missing in previous models, honestly a premium controller, can't wait to see how the hall effect sticks handle 1,000 hrs of gameplay then I'll update my review.

    I wondered if this controller would be worth the money. It is absolutely worth every cent. Heavier than the original but the headphone jack, extra buttons, and charging capabilities are fantastic.
