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.

    While it may be a little rough on the back end, the Elite controller does hold up pretty well. Has a nice grip on them and you can even adjust the the left and right triggers to where you won’t go overboard on them.

    I occasionally use this Xbox controller, but it feels great in the hands, with it's rubber handles. The omnidirectional D-pad is made of metal. Overall, this controller feels better than the stock Xbox series controller.

    Great controller, its about time they dropped the Elite series 3 though. I think this one is lagging behind (literally) when it comes to the amount of Hz it connects too. The higher the better. Almost got a different one until i found it it had no rumble to the controller. I need to feel the game! Extremely comfortable and easy to use. Buy!!!

    Great controller compared to the original x-box controllers. Doesn't come with the extra back pedals. EXCELLENT battery life with the internal rechargeable battery.

    These are easy to sync to the Xbox. Also, the controllers can be modified for sensativity, which helps my son in game controlling. The magnetic pieces are great because it makes the look of the controller customizable. Highly recommended!

    I was tired of buying controllers that didn't last more than a year or so. The battery life lasts much longer than expected and I love how customizable this controller is.

    This is a great deal if you already have the paddles for the back! Very satisfied to not have to buy a whole new setup when im just in need of the core controller!

    Really good features but very low durability. I've had like 5 of these and you really have to take care of them.

    Definitely worth spending the extra money to get the better quality controller. I’ve had 5 controllers before this one and they all seemed to wear out pretty quickly. I love how it’s customizable as well.

    Nice controller it’s heavy no batteries, the charge last for a long time overall it lasted about a year and half. Better than the original version but do recommend getting the 2yr or total tech warranty on it.

    It’s heavier than a regular controller but definitely a lot more grip and customization available. It feels comfortable while gaming and having it connect to the pc via wireless usb n gaming with a 65” 4k tv is awesome. I would definitely recommend this controller for pc.

    Really happy with this controller so far! The feel is solid — nice grips, good weight, and it just works. I love being able to tweak sticks and triggers, and the rechargeable battery lasts me through long sessions. Setup was easy via USB-C or Bluetooth, and it’s great on both Xbox and PC. Only minor thing: it’s a bit pricey, and if you’re after paddles or extras you’ll need to spend more. Overall though, well worth it if you’re serious about your game.

    I highly recommend this controller, it has been such an upgrade from the basic Xbox controller. Everything about it is just easier to play shooter, sports, and basic games.
