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.

    Excellent controller but short lifespan. My son loves this controller and says it is the best one he has ever used. Unfortunately it broke after just six months. We bought the protection plan so we should be able to get a new one but will have to pay $60 for another plan for this one. For the price it should last longer than six months. My son does play almost every day but plays sports, hangs out with friends, and goes to school so the controller was not overly used.

    Awesome gift to give at an affordable cost, the upgrades in the next level up can still be purchased but separately still being microsoft. The handling is a great combination of grip and sleekness, even looks great.

    Purchased for my son and he loves it. No issues at all. He says it is the best controller out of the other one he has had in the past. He says there a lot of improvements to the controller. Worth the price.

      Hello there,

      It's wonderful to hear that your son is loving his new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're glad that he considers it to be the best controller he's owned. Thank you for sharing his experience; we hope he continues to have a lot of fun using it.

      Happy gaming,

    Great controller. A little pricey but worth it. I bought it with Best Buy’s warranty just in case because of the problems I read about it, but so far no problems.

    Nothing really negative to say about this controller. Feels very premium. I will say it's hard to avoid stick drift, so get the warranty if available.

    For the $ this one controller costs I guess it's great. Not sure why a controller needs to be $300 but i guess that's what people spend on their habit Works great
