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.

    Biggest selling point is the adjustable trigger pull distance. Paddles on the back are a little difficult to not accidentally push during game play. I removed the 2 bottom paddles and only use the top 2. Worth the money, I’m better at COD now!

    The back top pedals could be more sensitive I have to double tap sometimes for it to activate kinda annoying at times. Has anyone else’s had this problem? Other then that it’s ight could be little cheaper tho.

    I have used both the standard Xbox One and the Xbox Elite controller and this V2 is a great modern option. It will also connect to the Xbox Series X. While the Elite had the rubber that would separate from the bottom plastic, this V2 has rubber that wraps around, with the only downside is that it leads to sweatier hands during gaming sessions.

    The Elite Series 2 appears to have a better build quality than the Series 1 that I previously owned that the covering started to fall apart. I was also noticing gimbal drift that was very annoying. Fortunately I had purchased the Best Buy warranty. I used the purchase refund towards the Series 2 with the Best Buy warranty. So far I am very pleased with the performance.

    The controllers A button and Y button feel unresponsive at times when pressing it. I’ve heard that is a known problem with some elite controllers.

    Great controller but don’t last very long if you’re a gamer who plays very frequently. I recommend getting the warranty
