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.

    Decent controller but not worth the money. Had a few sticky and non responsive buttons already within first week of using it. However, this controller worked seamlessly with my PC and was very easy to setup and customize.

    Poor Mechanical and Software Reliability

    This controller has a great feel. Unfortunately it seems Microsoft spent more time and money on the feel and accessories than the reliability. Using Bluetooth on Windows 10 the controller constantly disconnected and required me to repair to reconnect. Updating to the latest Firmware did not resolve the issue. Then after less than 10 hours of game play the left analog stick completely bound up. For a controller that retails for $180 I would expect it to last more than just 1 week. I'd love this controller if I could trust it would last. This is under warranty, but I can't justify exchanging this for a new one knowing that this design has these kind of reliability issues. I will be returning for my money back and getting a standard 'non-elite' controller.

    Don’t buy the care plan on open-box! Was delivered a defective controller that: •someone had obviously pried open. •Left trigger didnt have vibration •Left bumper didn’t work at all Contacted support was blown off, told to contact “sales” no contact or transfer, ended the chat. So I finally make it to a store 3hrs away. And was blown off by the in-store rep when i explained the situation. Forced to get blue one aaand pay the difference!! TRASH CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    I had 2 Elite Series 1 controllers. Both lasted about a year before the sticks had uncontrollable drift with no way to fix them. Xbox doesn’t warranty them so I’m a little worried I just spent $179 for a 1 year controller again. Ultimately not worth it so far but I’ll update it later once I’ve had it longer.

    I bought my elite series 2 on open box(condition excellent) which means it should be like new but opened. My rating is not for the controller itself but the condition it showed up in. Controller works great but when I got the controller it was dirty and clearly BB’s inspection team did not clean the controller before shipping. It had dirt or possibly chocolate on the rubber grips and in the controller creases. All of the thumb sticks were dirty and the controller is already a finger print magnet but it had greasy stains on the surface. Once I connected the controller and verified everything functioned properly I cleaned it myself like new. I’ve bought plenty of open box items from BB this was the first time I received something in that condition.
