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.

    Like all Xbox Controllers, this is an overpriced cheap product that stops working correctly after a few months (stick sway, padel buttons not working). For the price these controllers have, there should be quality control! Don't believe me? Just browse the internet and you'll see how many people have issues with sway and bumpers. I though the elite would be higher quality. I was wrong.

    Having owned and used Series 1 for years, I was pleasantly surprised on how well Series 2 feels and performs. Only time will tell as the Series 1 tended to fail after months of use with the grips separating and I list sound output from the ports. So far so good and I am pleased with the improved version.

    The device is great. But trying to purchase from Best Buy was a nightmare, especially online through the app. I was charged 2 times, sent 2 controllers, then a 3rd was ordered and lost in the mail... was charged 3 times for one controller.... I’ll never use Best Buy online again.

    The controller is excellent. It is making a noticeable difference in my gaming. Training myself to use it has been a different battle. Noticeable issues are the occasional missed press. When the remote has been dormant for longer than 10+ seconds, it seems to need a second press to engage.
