Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    One of the best controllers you could pay for. The weight really makes a difference. Really feels great in the hands.

    The controller is a great addition for me due to the fact that I play a majority of first person shooter games ( mostly rainbow 6 siege ) and I am able to utilize multiple features that the controller offers including the trigger stops and paddles. Although the price is somewhat steep I would say that when they re stock that it is worth the purchase

    I recently purchased the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. Design and Build Quality: The controller's build quality is exceptional. Performance: The Elite Series 2 Core delivers outstanding performance. Customization Options: The ability to remap buttons, adjust trigger sensitivity, and customize thumbstick tension gives me a level of control that I haven't experienced with other controllers. Battery Life: The battery life is impressive, lasting through several gaming sessions on a single charge. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is a premium gaming accessory worth every penny.

    Love the set up options, you can really customize this controller. I don't like the texture as much as I did the first Elite controller, but this one is OK. Internal battery has been great so far, holds charge for a long time. Adjustable tension on the sticks is a cool feature. They are very pricey I think though.

    I love the remote. I’ve had an Xbox for years and you can really tell the difference in quality from the older controllers. I love the grip and new features.

    I purchased this controller for gaming on my PC. It connects via Bluetooth and operates flawlessly. I love the paddles on the back. I previously used a Scuf gaming PS4 remote with paddles. This controller has a higher quality feel to it.

    Store associate suggested I get a warranty with product , saying that these controllers have a known issue for drifting, I have not experienced that with this controller. I am however a casual gamer , but I know when a controller is working properly and this one does!!

    Owned two now i love the premium feel but at the same time its made cheap my first one got stick drift (when will these multi billion dollar companies start using hall effect) within 3 months and my right bumper stopped working and had cracks all over i think from gripping it to hard as for the one i got from bestbuy its still holding up 7 months later maybe i got unlucky with my first even if they are made cheaply they still have nice features the battery life is very good and the paddles are aswell (i bought some off amazon for cheap) you can re map buttons etc i personally can not go back to a basic controller they feel extra cheap in comparison i recommend the elite core but only on a sale with a warranty

    The Elite 2 controller is THE BEST controller EVER! The only negative is that it's some who have said it breaks down and some who haven't had any issues. So with that i'd say PLEASE if you get this controller. Please get the WARRANTY.

    Got to say it feels solid, plays solid and the customization are a great thing. Even if getting a little sore in one position switching to a different thumb stick helps eliminate it for me. Great battery life and having bluetooth capabilities is nice for on the run playing. The nice charging stand and even port in the case is a nice touch to being able to charge it protected.

    Responsive and Sturdy. Trouble with camera stick locking forward which seems to be a common occurrence in the series 2, otherwise would give 5 stars. Battery life is fantastic. I didn't experience any drift. Joy stick options are great, helps with precision movement on aiming etc...
