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.

    My husband loves this controller so much. I think I catch our son using it as well. The buttons are better than the generic controllers the Xbox comes with.

    Dpad is weirdly strange when using the down direction. Overall the controller is well worth the upgrade over stock xbox controllers.

    It was tricky to set up even with the instructions, but it works good after the hour to setup. Only thing that I didn't like is that it wont register your profile with keyboard buttons if its not plugged in all in all when its working 10/10 when its not and I am having a hard time 6/10. Feels good and truly like the adjustability of the controller and its settings.

    Im very satisfied with this controller. It feels premium and has the perfect weight to it. I also really like how you can adjust the thumb stick tension and trigger stops.

    Controller highlights durability and features for extensive gaming but breaks after 3-4 months. Shoulder buttons get busted and my A button was already almost busted right out of the box. Microsoft wants you to send in the controller for a repair while you pay $100 service fee plus shipping costs. Xbox support knows about this issue and is doing absolutely nothing for the countless amounts of customers that spent a large amount of money for a product that doesn’t even last longer than a standard issue model. There’s countless amounts of people that have similar if not more severe issues that all have to swap parts daily, can’t find replacement parts, or are still waiting for Xbox to send them a working model. Don’t waste your time or money.

    Best Nintendo purchase I’ve made in a long time! Much easier to use than the joy cons - and the charge lasts at least 3 times longer than the original joycons.
