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.

    This is a very good product. It has been so much better than my previous controller. It has a lot of configuration with the paddles which makes it so good to use.

    If you want to take your game to the next level, this controller is an absolute must! The configurable buttons, paddles, triggers, and sticks allow you to take over the competition on any game you play. The battery lasts for days of play and it doesn’t lose sync with your console.

    Pretty good controller, better option for a replacement of the $179 version since I’ve gone through 2 of those already; this one has lasted a while already.

    The Elite series 2 is an amazing controller. The level of customizations you can have seem endless and it feels great in the hands! It is an expensive unit, but if you play xbox consoles even a moderate amount then this will improve your overall gaming experience.

    Heavy duty, way better than the normal controller. Feels a lot more premium, should come with every xbox. A little expensive though.

    Pretty great controller. The adjustment in the joysticks is great and I've had zero problems with it unlike the previous generation elite controller. Also have found the controller to have zero stick walk unlike the cheaper Xbox controllers.
