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 like it. Recommend you getting a case to keep all the pieces in check. If controller is dropped all the pieces fly off.

    Great so far! Had a modded controller before this one and the buttons started sticking. I’m not a fan of the big paddles on the rear of the controllers so this worked out great. I love the feel of the rubber on the controller.

    I’ve always been a fan of these controllers. Love that you can tighten down the sticks, change how far you need to press the triggers, and also save 3 different settings for games.

    Love the customization. Only downside I have is sometimes the left thumb stick won’t click in fully when held forward for games like COD or a game that requires left thumb stick input for sprinting. Battery life is phenomenal, love the charging case. Overall, great controller to have.

    One highly recommended controller is the Xbox Elite Series 2. This controller offers a premium feel and build quality with customizable features that cater to both casual and competitive gamers. The Elite Series 2 has a sleek and ergonomic design, with a textured grip that ensures a comfortable and secure hold during long gaming sessions. The buttons and triggers are highly responsive and provide a satisfying tactile feedback. One of the standout features of the Elite Series 2 is the customizable options it offers. It comes with interchangeable thumbsticks and paddles, allowing users to find the perfect fit and control setup for their preferences. The paddles can be mapped to any button, giving gamers quick and easy access to additional inputs without having to take their fingers off the thumbsticks. The controller also features adjustable tension on the thumbsticks, allowing users to fine-tune the stick resistance for more precise movements. This feature is particularly useful for competitive gamers who require precise aiming in games like first-person shooters. Another great aspect of the Elite Series 2 is its extensive battery life. It can last up to 40 hours on a single charge, and the controller comes with a charging dock that makes recharging hassle-free. Additionally, the Elite Series 2 is compatible with both Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, making it a versatile controller for gamers who play on multiple platforms. Overall, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller offers a premium gaming experience with its customizable features, comfortable design, and long-lasting battery life. While it is on the pricier side, the build quality and advanced features make it worth the investment for serious gamers.

    It's the base elite so no back paddles included, if you've used one you already know it's one of the best. The rest comes to personal preferences, I however choose this until I find something better.

    Great controller especially if you use additional paddles. However the controller does not seem to last more than a year without starting to develop stick drift and bumper issues. I've been through three controllers in less than 3 years with moderate to heavy use. If you buy a BestBuy geek squad extended warranty, just be aware that if you have to use it, you will have to buy another new policy for the replacement controller. The 2 year policy ends as soon as you use it.

    Awesome controller. Feels heavy (in a good way) and good quality. Only shame is it doesnt come with the extra buttons at the back but they can be bought separately. Companion apps allow for nice customization.

    Great controller! I like the customization of the button layout and joystick movement options. make for the best gaming experience. Good placement for paddle buttons with XL hands doesn’t feel awkward. Great Buy
