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.

    This controller replaced a white one we had that broke. My son still uses this controller every time he plays his game. I don't know too much about gaming but my son speaks highly of this controller. BUY THE WARRANTY!

    Perfect for precision gaming for games such as Call of duty and other shooter genres. This was purchase to replace my original Elite that lasted me 5 years.

    BUY THIS CONTROLLER IF YOU WANT MOUSE-BUTTON

    So far, the stick-drift hasn't killed the first one I've bought. The ability to configure and change the buttons to how you want is great. The mouse-button-click for the triggers are the best for me. And they are considerably cheaper than controllers with the same king of ideas/implementations. I do wish that Microsoft offered more colors than just 3, or the ability to change the faceplates to the color(s) that you'd want.

    I’ve had an elite controller in the past that had some issues (button sticking, mild stick drift even after adjustment). This one feels like they finally have it figured it out. I haven’t had any issues. I love being able to map buttons to the extra triggers and how responsive the controls are. Great for fast paced games (ARPGS, FPS, Battle Royales).

    Love the weight, accessories, swappable thumbsticks. Long battery life. My only complaint or nitpick would be the non- removable battery for long term purposes. I recommend getting geeksquad protection for that reason.

    The Elite Series 2 controllers are *THE BEST* Xbox controllers on the market. Yes a bit pricey but it literally feels like you're bringing a gun to a knife fight. The way it feels & the way it holds up, along with the built in battery makes it the best of the best!

    Great controller but one or two flaws

    Love the custimization options but the official microsoft app that goes along with it needs a little work. Also my left thumb stick constantly unscrews itself for some reason. Other thing is i have maybe slightly above average hand size but certainly not huge. Yet when you get some paddles and install those they constantly get in the way of your grip. Even without them the controller feels small. I will need to buy a grip sleeve or something. Other than those 3 things i dont have any problems with the controller itself. I would say overall 2 of my complaints like the app and grips are just personal issues that might be because of my own preference. The 3rd which is the left thumb stick unscrewint itself and feeling like it gets stuck sometimes i would say is manufacturer error or something.
