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've had zero issues with it and it has been all that I hoped for. Def a little pricey.

    I love this controller, for about a couple of months then it starts drifting or the paddles stop registering smh. If you buy it get the replacement plan. Even though Microsoft has increased it warranty to year. These things are manufactured poorly, so its luck of the draw to get one without issues.

    I was super skeptical, but it changed my gaming immediately. If you enjoy Halo, or any first person shooter, this controller will change the game for you. Can’t wait to see how it will impact my gameplay in other genres

    Adaptive and fun controller. It is not recommended for the novice or occasional player. After about a month of play, one of the sticks malfunction and began exhibiting phantom momements. Eventually exchanged it under the total care plan for a replacement. Fingers Crossed!

    After using this controller for about a month I have found myself using the back bumpers way more than I thought. The grips are nice when playing intense games. Even the case is nice to just set my controller in and it charges it for me. Great controller.
