    Severe drift right out of the box

    I love the controller as far as the way they made it and the way it feels in the hand. It has a nice premium weight to it that I appreciate. Having the four extra triggers are great I’ve had them for a few years on several controllers so I’m used to that by now but my serious problem is the drift. I’ve read a lot of nightmare reviews about people having a bad drift a few weeks after having it which made me not wanna buy it but I figured I would take a chance. I open the box paired the controller and started the new halo campaign up and instantly there was drift. And no matter what I did or what setting I put it on I cannot fix it I could slow it down a little bit but no matter what it would ruin my game every time . So the fact that I got drift from a brand new controller out of the box is absolutely unacceptable and I will be returning. It’s a shame.

    This is my 3rd Elite series 2 controller. The first two had issues with the bumpers (one right after the one year warranty, the second one almost at 6months). The controller itself offers great utility but for whatever reason the bumpers fail to stand the test of time.

    Elite Series 2 Controller

    The first Xbox elite controller would get stick drift in under a month. This Elite series 2 controller lasted for 1 year and a couple months before getting stick drift! I highly recommend purchasing geek squad protection so when stick drift happens you can get a replacement. These controllers are usually not kept in stock in stores so you will have to place an order and wait for it to arrive. The price tag is high but I feel it’s worth it for this series of the elite controller.

    This XBOX Elite series 2 core controller pairs well with PCs. I tried using my PS controller and it gave me a hard time. I would definitely buy another one.

    If ur a Gamer u will love this controller I certainly do. I have to say the two best things are being able u switch the joy sticks to a bigger size with sting magnetic seal so u don't have to worry about it just popping off, Makes a big difference when playing games like Call of duty or fortnite. The other thing is the built-in battery with type c charger. No more changing batteries or having to buy a battery pack, plus it lasts much longer than any thing out there.

    Love these controllers. Had the elite series 2 for like 4 years and it finally gave up. Getting the core after allowed me to use my spare parts from the elite series 2 to customize the elite core. It’s a more affordable option if you already have elite parts!

    Wouldnt buy one of these again. Didnt like the position of the rear paddles and how far they stuck out. The controller also got stick drift super fast, still in the return window. I was lazy and dumb and didnt return it. I ended up sticking with it in hopes I would get used to it. I ended up giving up on it and buying a Scuf controller. Scuf controller rear button placement is so much better in my opinion. I could not get used to playing with the 4 huge paddles on the back of this controller.

    Amazing, best controller on the market, I owned the previous elite and used on my PC. I now have a series x and wanted another controller to stay with that system, everything on this new controller is upgraded and just a little better then the previous model. Love that the battery pack is now integrated and come with a wireless charging cradle. Got my series 2 on Sale at Best Buy for same price I paid for my original elite despite upgrades.
