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.

    Bought this for my son. He said this is the best controller on the market. But…was “overkill” for him as he’s not a competitive gamer.

    Really solid quality but the sticks and bumpers do tend to wear down or break over time. Still a good controller though.

    Simply the best Xbox controller you can get! The better life lasts me a week or more with 4+ hrs a night playing.

    Controller is great tbh except it does have some quality control issues. Out of the box when I purchased it 05/2021 the left analog stick didn't really work unless I press really hard. Over time pieces start to just break or become less clicky and effective like my LB button now. If you purchase this I highly recommend getting the protection plan with it because you will need it.

    Great controller but lacks longevity

    This controller is perfect but lacks longevity with normal use. Not a super heavy gamer, maybe 2hrs at a time if that. If it wasn't for Geek squad, I probably wouldn't recommend. I've had 4 so far and have gotten 4-6 months before a button, bumper or trigger starts to malfunction.

    Excellent controller! I have used this type of controller since the release of the series 1. It is an advantage over regular controllers.
