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.

    Solid controller. Old one finally died off after 5+ years. No more batteries is the best!

    Modern warfare and any other FPS u can dominate with this controller. The controller is very well made and Microsoft took there time with this controller highly recommended plus the bluetooth feature on the controller makes it easy to use on your PC as well.

    So having owned the series 1, this has some great enhancements and Microsoft listened. Major improvements is now 3 instead of 2 trigger lengths, enhancements to deeper control of the sticks, and the battery life with awesome charger. Highly recommend!

    The highest quality control we I've ever purchased. Microsoft outdid their self with everything from the box it comes in. The case to protect it. And the magnetic charger and type c charge port. Feels unbreakable in your grasp.

    This controller was high on my son’s Christmas list, & he has enjoyed it ever since. I also purchased one for my husband. He has not put it down since the day I bought it. If you have avid gamers in your house. They will definitely enjoy this controller.

    The elite two is so much better then the first edition, i like the fact that rechargeable battery is already in the controller it self and that it has three different button mapping settings which you can change depending on what game you're playing

    So far so good. Biggest issue is that it won't connect to PC sometimes. I have to reboot the controller or remove the controller to get it to work. A little stick drift here and there but not as bad as the original.

    This was a gift for my son and it was very well received at that. I'm told there are several improvements over an already great controller. Watch the youtube unpacking that a couple of people posted and see all that it includes. Good stuff. RECOMMENDED!
