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.

Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is truly a “game” changer for sure. You can customize it to your liking. The paddles make it more functional.

Worked for 3 months - no new replacement offered
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased at the end of July '21. In the beginning of Nov '21 the right bumper and the A button both started going out. The buttons work sometimes, but do not always work when pressed. I have taken great care of this controller and have had controllers for years without any buttons going out. Best Buy won't let me swap it out for a new one because the purchase was made too long ago. It is under a 1 year warranty with Microsoft, but to fulfil this warranty I will have to send the controller off and let them perform some tests on it (who knows how long this will take during which I will have no controller). Then if they determine something is wrong with it they will send me a REFURBISHED controller. I spent $200 on this, used it for only 3 months, it crapped out, and now the best I am being offered is a refurbished replacement.. Stay away.

Good open box order
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had ordered this as an open box to save some money and was really suprised by how good it truly was. It was as if the previous owner only used this for about a week before they returned it. I will definitely be buying open box products in the future.

Bad value
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had issues ever since I purchased. Curse seems to want to slowly drift across the screen. Bluetooth constantly disconnects so the only way I can use it is keeping it plugged in. Pretty much a waste
