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.

    First and foremost, let's talk about the design. Microsoft has really outdone themselves with the Elite Series 2. The controller feels premium in hand, with a sturdy construction that exudes durability. The textured grips not only provide a comfortable feel during extended gaming sessions but also ensure a secure grip, even during intense gameplay. As an avid gamer, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can take my gaming experience to the next level. The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is one such device that has truly impressed me. From its sleek design to its customizable features, this controller is a game-changer in every sense.

    I love my elite controller. You can customize it for gaming to your liking. It doesn’t come with a case and extra like the other one. However if you don’t want to spend the extra or just don’t have it. This one is the next best thing.

    Wonderful quality. Sticks are interchangeable, haven’t had any stick drift after months of playing, has a nice charging stand, everything about it feels great. Worth the money in my opinion

    Great controller! I used to have the elite series one but the back paddles started having issues after a few years. I like the paddles from the series one better, so I put them on this controller and they work great! The rubber grips are great and the trigger adjustments are better.

    I bought this so I never had to take my fingers off the thumb sticks. Works great for this can map the 4 paddles to any buttons on the controller. And they are at your fingertips this said the controller is awesome. The battery lasts for every long gaming session I have charge it every night when I go to bed. I use the Xbox Stereo headset with this and it still has no problem. Only thing I would of asked was a smaller price tag.

    This control will last me for a week without charging it. I see a lot of people get stick drift but i have not experienced that at all yet. (Had it for 5 minths now) I did get thr 2 year geek squad protection just in case but so far amazing control. Kight need to break it in first because its stiff but eventually it gets better and better

    Always enjoyed the Elite Series 2, my first one lasted years and the red version was my replacement. Back paddles are great and have every customizable option you can think of. Works perfect and may be even lighter than the original ES2 models.
