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.

    Amazing controller, perfect while it works and the best there is available. The warranty was extended from 45 days to 1 year from Microsoft. It’s a shame Microsoft used the potentiometers used in order Xbox, Nintendo and Xbox controllers that also have drift issues in these.

    So I was given a tracking number to track my package. Then I was told that it was at the corporate package office and I had to pick it up. And it was a hassle just to get it. I had my number on the information so it would have been nothing to contact me and ask for the rest of the information so I could get my package. Thanks for the headache.

    Game like a pro with this controller. I was hesitant at first but when unboxing and feeling the metal controls and quality building this controller I knew it was the right move

    The tension adjustments on the thumb sticks is the best part about this controller. I’m coming from the original elite controller, so the paddles are nothing new. They have solved the rubber grip problem, but I’m my opinion, the way they did these grips causes them to be a little slippery. I haven’t had any connection or button issues that other review claim.

    Best controller ever made

    Not exaggerating here when I said the Elite 2 controller is the best controller ever made. The build quality is excellent. As a former owner of an Elite 1 controller, my biggest problem was the grips coming apart due to the heat of my hands. They fixed this by making the grips part of the controller. So much better. If you're an Xbox gamer, buy this.

    Love it!!! Have the series one, and was ready for an upgrade. I love the smaller back paddles as you can grip the controller better. My only complaint is that I enjoy using the domed thumb sticks and this only came with one not two like the first series. Ordered one from Amazon, when I get it this will be the perfect controller.

    Very disappointed with these controllers. I purchased two in total, the first one right out of the box had stick drift. So I returned it and replaced it with another. It also had stick drift.

    Good controller but I had to return mine. The grip area is slippery compared to the first generation controller. I couldn't get use it it and felt weird in my hands. I did like the charging base it comes with and the fact that the tension on the sticks can be adjusted.

    Controllers experience drift alot. Other than that they work great. I recommend warranties on these since the drift occurs on all of them.
