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.

    The grip makes it easier to hold for me. I have physical challenges that can make holding a controller difficult. The textured grips really help. The mappable back buttons make all the difference. My hands are small, so it can be hard to move all around the controller. The back buttons help me manage longer play-time.

    Expensive. But this is really one of the best controllers out there that won't developed a drift.

    I do love these controllers even if theyre sold at a lessened price for not having the extra accessories. They work really well with comfort grips and access to many functions despite not being sold with the aforementioned accessories. I do hope this one lasts because elite controllers are infamous for not having a long shelf life.

    Nice solid controller like msot of the elite series has been. Gotta be super careful never to get a drop of water on it or itll be done for. The texture on the grip isnt my favorite in the least. Used this for a couple years, but glad i got the Envsion Pro for my PC.

    The controller feels weighty and nice to hold in your hand while playing, and I really enjoy the modular nature of the controller. I took a star off be cause the controller is coated in a tacky substance so that it’s a little less slippery than a normal Xbox controller would be. I personally don’t love the feeling of it, and it has a bit of a weird smell to it.

    This "Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core" wireless controller is the best I got in my hands so far. Absolutely smooth and precise handling. You can adjust pretty much anything you want to optimize your gameplay. The two triggers can also mechanically be adjusted to your needs. Outstanding quality!

    Stepping up the GAME

    I'm super amazed at this controller. Received as a birthday present from wife. Apparently the BB employee pointed her in the PROPER DIRECTION... she knows I'm a hardcore gamer and wasn't looking for or needing a typical controller. This thing is a beast! I haven't even begun to exploit the power, but I've built a couple of game specific control schemes and felt the difference in make-quality. The internal battery life (~15-20 hrs) is definitely better than what I've gotten from my recharger packs from Nyko charging base (typically 10+hrs). And looking forward to solid compatibility with Series X systems!

    This thing feels so good in your hands. Love how you can adjust the shooting trigger. And adjust tension on the joysticks Really premium. Can't go back to a regular controller after this.

    Very nice controller i like how it comes with different lengths of analog sticks i got mine set up with the long analog sticks which is great for sniping, the paddles on the back are good because you can set whatever paddle to whatever button so you can multi task press that without moving your fingers away from the analog sticks ot trigers comes on a nice carry case with a charger mount built into it
