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.

    The build quality is definitely a key difference vs the standard controller which I've used for more than 5 years. I like the adjustable trigger locks. its pricy to say the least.

    Never knew what the hype was for these expensive controllers until i finally bought one! The grip is better, and the material feels more premium! If you are hesitant on buying this controller dont wait go ahead and buy it!

    Its an expensive controller... I get it.... but if you're reading this, buy it. Especially if its on sale. The grips feel amazing in your hands. Adjustable triggers are awesome. The battery last for hours. The construction is high quality. You can remove the paddles if you don't like them. It works on your PC and your Xbox. When you're done playing, put it back in the case (the charger is in the case).

    Fantastic feel in the hands. Good weight for me but heavy for some others. Vibration settings are customizable. Much better than it's predecessor. Controller surface is easy to clean

    I love this controller. It seems a little expensive at first but it is truly worth the money. The one downside is the RB and LB buttons are all one piece inside of the controller and tend to break.

    I just got the Xbox Elite Controller and I'm seriously impressed! The build quality is top-notch, and the customizable features are a game-changer. The textured grips feel great in my hands, and the adjustable thumbsticks allow me to fine-tune my aiming precision. The extra paddles on the back are a game-saver in fast-paced shooters, giving me quicker access to essential commands. While it's a bit pricey, the performance and customization options totally justify the cost. Definitely elevates my gaming experience!
