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.

    Worthy Upgrade to 1st Elite Controller

    Having the first one, I could not imagine Microsoft topping the 1st Elite Controller. I have to say, I am impressed with their new incarnation. The even more adjustable triggers are very helpful in CoD type games. I like the extra slot for a setting and overall quality, for example, the grips are much better. I highly suggest this controller for anyone who wants to get the most out of their gaming experience.

    Great remote. Pricey but worth it. Comes with a case that keeps it safe, a charging stand that prevents it from getting scratched when set on a surface, a really nice usb-c 9 footer, and all the stick and paddle accessories. Remote feels a little different from the original, but doesn't feel foreign. Love the adjustable triggers and the Xbox accessories app is very functional.
