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.

    If you really into gaming and want a better handling feel and configurability, then this is the only option for you.  The materials are much nicer than the standard. The triggers and buttons have a much more better feel. The extra configurability Menu is a great plus as well.

    I had the original elite and that controller was my absolute favorite of all time so hopefully this one serves me just as well. The back paddles are by far the best ergonomically and the added charging dock is a nice addition over the original as well as the added trigger step and new color scheme. I literally can't go back to regular controllers anymore.

    Its known that elite series controllers are notorious for having stick drift out the box, and in this case, exactly what happened, apart from having stick drift, right bumper didnt work, and left stick when pressing wouldn't function either, hopefully the next xbox elite 3 controller work whenever they release it that is
