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.

    My overall favorite controller. The weight, the paddles and feel of the grips make this, for me, the overall best console controller to use.

    Great controller, much better than the one that came with the Xbox. One thing to notice is that at first it was behaving weirdly with my MacBook and when I connected it to the Xbox it updated and solve the MacBook issues.

    The buttons are smooth and work great. The grip of the remote is comfortable for my small hands and my fiances big hands. I am excited to look at the interchangable parts.

    The elite controllers have come such a long way! They seem to be made much better than the original ones years ago. So far, it's been great and not needing batteries has been a huge plus!

    Straight out of the box controller had massive stick drift. Both thumb sticks have serious drift and has been an issue the entire time I have owned. Did not have this issue with previous gen. Had high hopes but unfortunately this controller is not a home run, single at best.

    I bought this controller in excellent condition open box. I don’t think I would consider it in excellent condition, but the controller itself is amazing. I love the back detachable buttons, and the weight of the controller Is on the heavy side, which gives it a premium feel. It definitely feels like a $200 controller. If you’re a hard-core gamer, I recommend buying it. You can map out the buttons on the accessories app on your Xbox very easily. You can also create up to three profiles. I don’t recommend it for the casual gamer.

    Love this controller, use it on the Xbox but now just Use it to play some PC Games with it where it doesn’t make a difference to use keyboard and mouse and or use it as a hybrid setup with keyboard & mouse. Has a high quality feel to it, extra controller functions, no regrets purchasing this controller. We have 2 of these controllers, both work like new even with heavy use,
