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.

    Really works great, much easier to play with then the old controllers , but is on the expensive side. The down side is if you need a controller for your friend to play duels their stuck using the old ones. And having to keep both new and old around just Clutters the place up

    Great controller for any Xbox gamer. I have the protection plan on this, which I would highly recommend! I've already replaced 2 previous controllers, not because of the quality of it, just because of how much it gets used (and probably dropped).

    The time finally came to replace my series one elite. The improvements over the series one justify the increased price, especially the adjustable tension thumb sticks. Worth every penny. I’m confident I’ll get a few years out of this like I did with my series one.

    Quality control issues, buttons don’t always register.. primarily LB or RB on my controller. For the most part works well, but do yourself a favor and either buy a warranty; or wait until the next version is released. This gadget is too expensive to have to deal with delayed or non-responsive buttons, and joystick drift seems to be an issue with Minecraft; especially when used on PC.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Get the edge over the competition. My only gasp is that it doesn’t come with the alternative buttons for below, their competitors did.

    Great controller. The colors are way better when holding it in hand. The top buttons and triggers are a very nice metallic shade of red. If you don't like the new d-pad, you can switch it out cheaply and easily with traditional cross-type ones since the d-pad and analog joysticks are magnetically attached.
