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's a decent controller but the buttons need to be pressed completely in order for them to react.

      Hi Jinx,

      It's great to hear that you love your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Random disconnects may occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. If you continue to experience this problem, we recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Happy gaming,

    The elite 2 controller is amazing. Why could you charge so much for less . If you buy this controller the (CORE) version. You have to turn around and spend about another 150 for the extra buttons . Now if you buy the black elite 2 controller you get a carry case ,all the extra buttons ,and charge dock for it . Almost forgot and the black on is cheaper then the white one and you get more for a better price . I have both controllers this core still in box just havent had time to take it back

    This is a really solid controller with a nice case. The XBOX app lets you create three custom button layouts and save them to the controller. I also change the center button LED, so that each custom button layout has its own color.

    This controller is way better than the elite 1. It has not fallen apart on me like the elite 1 did after 2 years. I personally think theese are better than scuffs.

    I bought this to replace my last one which I dropped from head height onto a concrete floor. I now think my last one was faulty, because this one works much better - the buttons are smooth and the controls feel connected to my soul! If you play a lot of games on Xbox, get this - it's really worth it.
