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 really like it so far. I have stick drift already, but i upped my deadzone and its good now. This is my second one. My first elite had massive stick drift. This ones good. The controller feels really premium and i really like the trigger stoppers

    Great controller, a little heavy but that's what you get when you have all the abilities this controller provides and it also has a built in rechargeable battery. Defiantly the best Elite Controller that Xbox has made. Makes other controllers feel cheap.

    Great controller with a decent amount of heft to the weight and tightness of the thumbsticks and buttons. Really provided an edge to my playing!

    I'm blown away by this controller. First time user of an elite controller and I'm not disappointed. All buttons work well and smoothly. I love the trigger adjustments. Although I'm a bit confused when it comes to the paddles and how to set them. Its definitely worth buying.

    Absolutely amazing remote the only reason didn't get 5 stars because the price is so ridiculously high. Thankfully Best buy price matched this so it was affordable, I love the remote!

    Rated 5 stars even though personally I didn’t like it. Great quality product, I really liked how you could adjust the triggers to 3 different setting. I bought because I thought I’d like the extra 4 programmable buttons on the back of the controller (that way you don’t have to take your thumbs off the joysticks to use certain buttons. For me it was just too much to get used to, playing Xbox for 15 years without extra buttons, then trying to get used to them was tricky for me.

    One of the best controllers i touched (Dualsense still better) the grip, the analogs, the additional buttons, even the app is great. If u are looking to get a one up on your opponents, this is the way to go for sure.

    Heavier than the plastic controllers makes for a more comfortable grip. I was originally uncertain on the paddles (20 years of muscle memory with buttons), but actually makes for more enjoyable game play in first-person shooters. Highly recommend even for the “older” gamers.

    So far this controller is pretty solid. I did have the series one version of this and the rubber grips peeled off after a while. The ones on here seem a bit more solid though. I do like how you can adjust tension on joysticks. Happy to not have to change batteries either.
