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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    I love these controllers and series 2 improves on the original in every way. Unfortunately, my left stick is now getting stickdrift but, that's why you buy the replacement plan.

    This control is good enough for the average try-hard. However, there are some issues with the “A” button and for some reason this controller does not respond well with Gears of War 5.

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry to hear there are a couple issues with it. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    This is a very high quality, hefty feeling controller. I really do like the paddles on the rear, however I do not use all 4 that were included. Also the charging case as the charging station is cool too.

    Love the second generation of this controller. Awesome product. Love the ability to put resistance on your paddles while playing games. Rumble packs in the controller can not be beat. Highly recommend

    Xbox Elite 2 with the Xbox Series X honest review

    This controller offers everything you need for the Xbox Series X. This is an official Microsoft controller so you don't have to worry about it getting blocked from the console. I have purchased other Xbox Series X controllers and the build quality is quite different. You can feel the weight of this controller and tell it is not a 3rd party plastic knockoff. I highly recommend this controller.
