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.

    Best Controller Out, Beware Of Issue

    By far the beat controller across all consoles. Even better than Scuf in my opinion, although I know this was made in partnership with Scuf. The app on Xbox makes it a lot easier than manually setting the paddles. Recommended an extended warranty. This is my second elite series 2. I bought the first one Nov 2019 upon release, experienced left thumbstick drift after 4 months, only a 90 day warranty. Paid $100 to have Microsoft fix and bought a new one with the extended warranty, because playing Cod with a regular controller doesn’t feel right anymore.

    3 stars because it constantly disconnects from the console. My husband sits fairly close to his console and constantly has issues. There’s no interference, it’s up to date. Have tried syncing it again. For the price, this shouldn’t be an issue. Joystick buttons are very delicate magnets, easy to come off, beware if you have small children around.

    This is what a premium controller is supposed to feel like, besides that I love the fact that you don’t need batteries.
