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.

    If you aren’t rocking an elite Xbox controller; you’re not reaching your full capacity as a gamer. This enhances every aspect of how you game. Just accept it and buy it

    Works great. Less expensive option if your series 2 breaks and you still have the extras.

    This red Xbox controller is ! The color is bold, the feel is smooth, and it connects instantly. Super comfortable for long sessions and works perfectly on both Xbox and PC. Definitely worth it if you want something that stands out.

    Excellent controller... But "A" button issues

    The best controller on the market for Xbox or PC. Build quality is great, has good weight to it, love the lack of cables and shiny appearance. But... How does a controller this expensive have so many issues with the buttons? Not even a week after buying this for my Jedi:Survivor play through on PC, it registers the "A" button about 9/10 times. Now, that sounds like a nitpick, but consider making a jump in a platformer ONLY 9/10 times by no fault of your own, after paying so much for a controller. You either need to press down HARD or press down perfectly nadir for it to register every time. Totally unacceptable for a controller of this price point. Why is it still "good"? Everything else is beyond wonderful, except the "A" button which many other users have reported issues with. Had it RMA'd and done custom fixes, nothing works. MS just had a poor "A" design I guess. Get it if you have money to spend and hope for the best. Or like using the paddles which work very nicely. Otherwise, I recommend the standard version. I have one too and has zero issues.

    The controller has an amazing feel to it. I really enjoy using this controller until I realized that the ABXY buttons need to be fully bottomed out to work. When playing a game like Rocket League you can find yourself needed to press a button twice to get it to work, but in a fast game like that it is already too late.

    Eh - i’ve had this controller and also the original elite series 2 multiple times, qualities not what you would really expect. Still very good very well built but not in destructive. This just says that, I have actually found original Xbox controllers that come with their system are more adorable, and last longer than these $120 or $200 controllers

    I recently bought the Xbox Elite Controller for my son, and it has completely exceeded our expectations! The build quality is top-notch, with a premium feel that’s evident the moment you pick it up. The customizable thumbsticks and paddles allow for a truly personalized gaming experience, giving him more control and precision in every game. The grip is comfortable, even during long gaming sessions, and the adjustable tension on the triggers adds an extra level of responsiveness. The controller also syncs seamlessly with the Xbox, and the ability to switch profiles on the fly is incredibly convenient. It’s definitely worth the investment for any serious gamer, and my son absolutely loves it! Highly recommend this controller for anyone looking to elevate their gaming experience!

    This is a great controller for those who want a little extra out of their current controller. The rubberized grip feels great, and the thumb sticks are responsive and feel much more durable than the regular Xbox controller ones. One thing I wish Microsoft would do is create more color schemes without keeping the back of the controller white, which sort of defeats the purpose of a darker color controller. (The included USB-C cable is great as well)
