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.

    Its a hit or miss with these controllers but luckily I havent had any problems with the infamous bunper defect. So far my experience has been great.

    My son says it's the best Xbox controller he's ever used. It seems a little heavier but the button options are great and it's nice that the case can be used as a charging dock.

    Love this controller and for me it was totally worth the extra money. (vs the standard xbox controller.) Before, I was going through xbox controllers every 9 months or so. (I replace them once a button starts to fail) For me, this controller has lasted over 2.5 years. I did start to get cosmetic damages (glued-on grips were starting to come apart) and battery charging problems started about 18 to 20 months in- but before I would be on my 3rd or 4th controller in that same time frame! button re-mapping is awesome! and the bottom triggers changed the way I play (but it did take some time to get used to) I used to have a problem with hitting the thumb stick buttons on accident and moving the shoulder buttons to the bottom made things faster and easier. The controller is pretty much done now, but its still doing its job (it needs to be tethered for power and the grips need to be replaced) I hope it holds out till version 2 comes out.

    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!

    Fantastic controller! A little bit heavier than the original xbox controller, but got used to it quickly. Additional buttons can be easily changed on the xbox controller settings. Would recommend 100/10.

    The only issue i've had it has been the joy stick loosing its chrome a little bit from rubbing on the ring where it sits, but thats an issue of all controllers and i can easely replace the magnetic joy stick.

    You dont know what youre missing until you start playing with this controller. The paddles are a huge help for FPS games. The carry case, attachments, and charging docks are amazing add ons. The controller feels SO good and sturdy. The grips are amazing and great for holding on especially if you have sweaty hands.
