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.

    It is very overpriced, but being able to remap the controller is very helpful (especially for games like Call of Duty where you can't look around while putting in your armor without remapping the buttons)

    price for the item is too much for what this controller provides. i still use my regular xbox controller instead of this, the controller back buttons shouln't just be a way to have the face buttons on the back, but should also be extra buttons for other skills not used on the abxy up down left right

    This is by far the best controller I’ve ever owned.(yes including the PS5 dual sense) Only reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating is I’ve had multiple elite series controllers in the past, and there are always issues that eventually occur. Shouldn’t happen so frequently with hardware that costs this much, but it always seems to unfortunately. That being said, I absolutely love gaming with the elite series 2. It’s extremely useful, and now that I’m accustomed to it, I can’t go back to a standard Xbox controller.

    If you play xbox and you're still using a regular controller drop the money and buy and elite controller. It costs more but will last and you'll never want to go back. Great controller.

    This has been a great controller so far. Not sure if it’s $180 great but thanks to gift cards and rewards it didn’t cost me that much. Highly recommended if you are a die hard Xbox user.
