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 controller. No issues with it so far. Textured grip is amazing. I already bought a 2nd set of scuff pads.

    Understand that this product can come with issues. I recommend insurance on this product for easy exchange. Use the hell out if this remote. If you don’t and don’t have insurance you make see issues down the road and it may have issues when it’s out of manufacture warranty. I believe Microsoft recently increased the duration of their warranty but sending things to them and getting them back can take a month

    So I’ve had two of these now. Replaced my first one under warranty. The first 6 months this controller is awesome... then it just breaks down, from buttons that stop working, the thumbsticks drifting and it looses connection regularly even with a full charge. Multiple resets and keeping updates on this controller, still have issues. I have the besbuy extended warranty and was told the only thing I could do is to wait. Either wait with a gift card or just hit the buy button when the unit is back online. Why not I turn it in and get my name in line like we do with our customers at the place where I work. Bestbuy is dying business model because they stopped caring for any member.... Ugh... so frustrated.

    Despite the drift you may or may not get with analog sensors; this is still the best pro controller you can use. Very premium feeling and thumbstick tension is great when you dial it in.
