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.

    The controller is very sturdy. Feels great in hand. Best controller build on the market by Microsoft. Having this in combination with the Geek Squad protection is 10x better than having a Scuff controller. Cable (USB-C) given with controller is about a 6 feet long. Doesn’t always connect directly with system when attempting to turn on the console from controller. To fix just connect the cable to the console and syncs. Minor flaw but also didn’t attempt to update firmware on controller to see if it remedied the issues.

      Hi there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If you're still experiencing an issue with the connection to your Xbox, we do recommend (you guessed it!) updating the firmware on your controller and making sure that your Xbox also has the latest service update installed. Please reach out to Xbox Support if that doesn't fix the problem: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Controller was great for the first year but has seen significant battery life decline and stick drift issues. For the premium price I did not anticipate these issues, especially when the standard sixty dollar controller performs better.

    I can not express how convenient this controller is. How easy it is to use and change the physical attributes on the fly. Programming the remaps within a separate application is not ideal; however one can setup multiple profiles and change the color of the power button to indicate which profile goes with which button layout. It's a bit heavy; but overall, Microsoft killed it with this one! Worth every penny.
