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.

    Definitely a good upgrade and worth the price. It's nice having the ability to adjust how stiff you want the toggles as well as the triggers travel distance. With it also being able to switch between different toggles and d-pads, makes it worth every penny

    Definitely an upgrade from the first elite controller, but still faces the same problems. I'll be moving on to my 3rd replacement for this controller. Stick drift and left bumper issues still persist. If the controller worked as it should, it would be worth the $180 that it's selling for(maybe).

    Bought this controller on black friday, and also at an even cheaper price for it being an open box item. It was in great shape all included items were present. Im very happy with my purchase and also the process of receiving it.

    Great Controller and fully customizable. From the the thumb sticks to button layout this controller does it all. Has a nice textured grip that allows me to keep a firmer grip on the controller without getting too sweaty. Nice for competitive gamers

    Normal xbox controllers just didn't cut it for me anymore. I had the series 1 elite controller and loved it to death. Now with the series 2 out I had to have it as I gave away my series 1. This controller takes it to the next level with adjustable thumb sticks, over the series 1. Along with the dock charger which is such a great idea. I use it for my pc and it works flawlessly for steam and windows 10 games.

    I bought this to replace my Razer Wolverine Ultimate Controller. I had no issues with the Razer controller, but it just wasn't for me. I am amazed with the amount of fine-tuning you can do with this controller. Above and beyond anything the Razer controller could do. The analogue tensioner is a very nice addition. It is probably my favorite feature along with the controller charge dock. If you are looking for a high-end controller, look no further.
