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 got an open box in good condition controller. The only thing missing was the directional pad that you can see on most pictures. Otherwise, perfect condition, all other parts and connected fast to my Xbox.

    The bumpers wear out annoyingly easily long time weakness of the elite controllers you'd think they would have fixed by now.

    I am an xbox elite controller power user. I bought the gen 1 controller when it came out and then upgraded to gen 2. The latter was the worst controller in terms of durability. I upgraded to this one because I didn't need the accessories. So far so good. Just to be safe I bought the warranty. No regrets.

    Nice Way to Replace Your F’d Elite 2!

    I dropped my Elite 2 on my tile floor and it was FUBAR. So I hopped on my BB app and saw there was a nice Total Tech deal for this fella. It’s just the base controller (no accessories) but my old stuff from my jacked up Elite 2 snapped right on. I was gaming in minutes. If you F’d your Elite 2 controller you can get this to replace it at a discount!

    The first one had stick drift issues within the first 3 months. Luckily I was able to send it back to microsoft in time for a replacement. Second controller I received I had a week and it too had stick drift issue with the same joystick (right), so I sent returned that to microsoft as well. I just received my third controller yesterday. They sent me one never removed from the box as if I just bought it in the store. Charged it up and A button sticks. I also noticed an issue in the feedback when clicking the left stick. When pressed, its like it clicking twice, probably due to all the vertical play in the joystick. On to the fourth!!! Sucks I have to wait another 15 days. I would just return it for a replacement to bestbuy with my geeksquad warranty I purchased but these are never in stock. It has been months. If you dont care about wireless functionality, I would recommend the Razer Wolverine Ultimate.
