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.

    What an amazing controller! It is fully customizable and you can switch and put the buttons that attach magnetically in any way you like. The triggers have grip as well and the remote is built with high quality materials. It is a bit heavier than other controls but its worth the money

    Controller was in good serviceable condition even though it was used. I recommend going that route if you’re looking for a cost friendly alternative.

    Quality issues plague this controller

    Do not buy this controller. It has extremely common issues where it will drop inputs *constantly*. I'm on my second controller and it's still doing it, this time worse than the first -- the first dropped just the A button, this one drops A and Y (and more frequently). This controller is $150 and is worse quality than any $20 controller I've ever used. The paddles on the back are an awesome idea. As is the D-pad with the diagonals. And the ability to re-map buttons. But the controller is very literally unusable for any game that requires any amount of precision. If you can't spam buttons, or need perfect timing for anything, you can't use it. I tried to exchange it and get a new one and that resulted in just getting another, more broken one. Now my return window has closed, so I'll have to send it to Microsoft for warranty. And very likely repeatedly, until I just give up. There are reports of people doing this more than 8 times and still getting unusable controllers. Learn from the mistake of myself and others, don't waste your money on this useless trash. Get any other controller and you'll be much better off.

    Brought this item open box supposed to be in excellent condition with all of the parts include. Unfortunately, one of the pieces was missing and we had to order replacement parts. The controller works for my son and he is happy with it. I only have it 4 stars because of the missing part.
