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.

    Bought one around christmas time left thumbstick became non responsive mid january sent it to microsoft they sent me a new one 2 months after receiving the new one left thumbstick went out again. Never ever have I had such a weak controller. Other than that the controller is amazing I wish I could have kept it unfortunately it's not worth constantly returning and buying 50$ warranties every time it breaks. Microsoft really needs to just scrap this model and revise it. The main thing they need to focus on is making the tumbstick mechanisms more durable. It really saddens me that I wasn't able to keep this controller. It was hard going back to a standard controller without paddles.

    Love the controller but hate it too more so because Microsoft uses inferior parts yup i had issues with LB and stick drift in the right thumb stick. Thank goodness for purchasing the protection plan from best buy got my controller replaced no cost. Yes I got a new plan for the new controller.
