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.

    I have liked the elite controllera but the stick drift is still an issue for me. I returned about 3 controllers so far and wish they had a way to replace the modules. If they ever come out with an elite controller that allows u to replace the stick modules it would be a near perfect controller

    Got an open box - I had to return it via the Microsoft warranty 3 months later but for the price (120$) it was worth it since they sent me a brand new one right after.

    I purchased this controller for the upcoming Xbox Series X. However I am using it with my current Xbox One. It is great so far and I think you should buy it.
