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 is only worth the cost if you have a current broken elite controller or you want to find after market sticks and paddles.

    Best Controller Period

    This is hands down the best controller ive ever held/used. It beats out anything playstation, nintnedo, even third parties have to offer. Rubberized grip around the fronts and back so your hands will never slip, customizable back paddles for FPS/Racing games is a must, three different profiles that can be saved for stick sensitivity and more. Also really bice that it comes with an extremely durable case that has a hard shell on the outside with a magnetic charging stand and awappable sticks on the inside. I also bought the warranty just in case but i take care of my stuff so we’ll see if i end up needing to replace them. So far so good.

    This is a great alternate purchase over the elite controller. Same functionality as the elite , minus the paddles. To be honest , i barely use the back paddles and charges just the same as any other xbox controller.

    Love this controller! It fits really well in your hands and the weight of it compared to the OG Series x/s controller is a nice change as well.

    Great new elite colorway. Doesnt come with charging case or paddles but I found these useless on my first elite. I usually just charge it with the cord and buy colored paddles off of amazaon anyways (20$ for colored paddles)

    I will gladly pay twice as much for this because it is so sturdy. The regular controllers break after a year or two so it is worth the investment. I had the original elite for five years and this one is better in every way.

    While every controller eventually wears out the thumbsticks, this is by far the best controller ive ever used considering ive been playing on xbox since 2001 and ive even competed before where i would wear out thumbsticks every 3 months. This controller is for sure the best feeling controller and the thumbsticks lasted over a year on the first one i had. Not to mention all the features of thumbstick tension control, button customization, and trigger travel. I cant say enough good things about this controller. I only hope they continue to improve the durability of the thumbsticks even further.

    I had the first elite controller and it finally went out after 5+ years. This is perfect as I already had the paddles so this was a great value. Love this controller and would recommend to anyone.
