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.

    Way better quality than your average controller. Call Microsoft once you purchase because they offer a 3 year warranty on this for 20 bucks. Your welcome.

    I really think the elite controller series 2 is a good product ideally but they have a lot to work on when it comes to the controller because it supposed to be durable but in reality it has its faults when it comes durability And I feel for the price we pay for the controller we should get nothing but the best and not less Because I’m having the same problem with this controller as I am with the $69 controllers the buttons are getting stuck and I’m not really liking that about it at all

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I like that it is weighty and button presses are quieter. It doesnt have the premium attachments but you can buy knockoffs on Amazon.

    Great controller if you like to play shooters, you can map actions with buttons and have 3 different profiles for your favorite games, little expensive but Quality is an A+, have no issues with it.

    A little on the pricey side, especially for how old this model is, but on sale it is definitely still one of the best Xbox/PC controllers you can get. Lots of customization options, and the included charging stand is a nice added bonus. I've tried other controllers, but this one is hands down my favorite.

    The controller is great until the buttons start to no work. The RB and LB button go out about 6 months of use. I normally play an hour or two everyday. So maybe 20-25 hours a week. Would recommend only if you purchase a protection plan.
