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.

    I just upgraded my son's controller from the series one to the series two and I must say we have had no complaints. Best buy always has the best prices and you can't beat the geek squad warranty. Thank you Best Buy!

    Haven’t heard complains from my 13 yr old son but only positive comments. I must say, though, it was pretty expensive which pushes me forward to have my son work from now on if he wants to get such things (not a bad idea now).

    works great. Bought it for my 13 year old son. We didn't think he needed the one we bought for my 24 year old son which was all customizable. This one works great for an amateur gamer. We just want one that lastes

    Best Xbox controller by far. Series 2 is an improvement over Series 1 with shorter paddles that are more comfortable for people with big hands. Built-in rechargeable battery is a nice bonus
