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.

    Great update over the Series One controller I've had for two years. Feels great in the hand and so far, fingers crossed, I've had no problems whatsoever.

    Love the paddles, a must if you are playing fps, I owned two of the original elite controllers and the quality was better. The new elite core seems to not permit multiple inputs at the same time prioritizing set moves before others which can mess with the gaming experience.

    Product had a nice quality and provided good performance. I only gave it a four because of the price that Microsoft sells it for.

    I bought this to use as my controller while outputing the video of my Legion Go to my large screen TV and it works well. I was a little bummed that this "core" kit does not come with a case or any of the extra metal buttons but i can always buy them later if I feel I need them. This kit does cone with a very long USBC braided cable.

    Top Tier Gaming Controller, solid build. Does the job. They don’t make the regular ones like this anymore. Worth the extra bucks for a more solid build and accurate aiming.

    Didn’t think I would like the built in battery but i do like not having to swap them out all the time. Guess we will see how the battery longevity goes.

    A must have accessory if you're an xbox lover. Definitely a upgrade from the series one they did fix the drift problem that some may have experience in the series one

    Most premium feeling controller on the market but has hard time staying in tact if you’re a heavy gamer. I’d say a protection plan on this controller is almost necessary for anyone who plays more than a couple times a week.
