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 controller feels great! The texture grips help keep your hands on the controller! The rear buttons make it better for multiplayer games so that you can also be slightly ahead of your enemy!

    He is in love with this controller, so glad I got it for him. Now he never wants to use a regular controller again. I like how it comes with the hard charging case and that you can change out the buttons. Pricey but worth it in the long run.

    I game on a PC and it’s kinda hard to find a controller that’s comfortable because I have very large hands but I can say it connects great to a computer works great. I just wished it was about an inch wider

    The controller is built much better than a standard xbox controller. The sticks are also a huge improvement over the standard controllers.

    The quality is not too much better than the basic Xbox controller, and it is much heavier than the basic controller. The reason I buy it is for its four back paddles. I do not recommend it for its quality and current price if you do not need the back paddles. I have three of them, this is the third one. Two previous ones failed at some point in a year. One has a drift stick, and the other's stick does no click. Microsoft really needs to do better job for a more quality product.
