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.

    Great controller. Good grip, awesome haptics. Only problem is that the kit was missing the most basic attachments that make the pro controller what it's supposed to be: the backside paddles, thumb-stick and d-pad replacers, all sold separately.

    This XBOX Elite series 2 core controller pairs well with PCs. I tried using my PS controller and it gave me a hard time. I would definitely buy another one.

    By far the best Xbox Controller I've ever had. I fortunately got it on sale at a great price. The controller itself is the perfect shade of red really put together quite nicely. The packaging itself was very neat and clean. Though most importantly the functionality of said controller is more than ideal for any game. The layout of the controller with extra buttons and quicker response time is ideal for any game. Overall i highly recommend everyone to upgrade to this controller.

    We got this to replace an elite controller that our kids dropped. This is every bit worth the money if you like to gaming. It takes a moment to get use to the paddles but once you do there’s no going back. Worth the money. Having the ability to select different settings for different games and have them programmed is epic!

    First Upgraded controller

    This controller is definitely built with quality. I feel if i drop it its going to damage my floor… the extra paddles on the back are a little much from my brail to process still but I’m working on that. The colors are customizable too which is cool. My only complaint is that the rubber on the grips feels a little slick at times but I’m sure they’ll wear in. Either way I’m still very happy with this controller.

    The best controller you can get for PC or Console gaming. The heavy duty feel demonstrates the sturdiness of the controller. The adjustable trigger sensitivity works flawlessly. The price point is perfect for those who already own an elite 2 with the additional paddles, and thumb sticks as this product doesn't come with them, but works just the same.

    It is a great controller other than the fact that it needs to be replaced every year because a part will break ok it. I’ve had problems with stick drift and with the bumpers on every elite controller I’ve owned. They are way to expensive to keep replacing every year.

    I don't know why I spend so much money on a controller because I'm a PC gamer. Only use this thing for Street fighter and sports games. Great quality and customization options but truthfully could have just gotten by with the regular controller. Can't recommend because of the price and if you really want great control just get a PC and switch to keyboard and mouse

    Better Get a Warranty

    For the price, I would avoid these. They are too prone to issues (mine developed occasional stick drift after a few months). If they get down to $120, and you have Totaltech, they are pretty good. I use mine on my Switch, with a Bluetooth adapter, along with my Xbox, and it's nice when it isn't having troubles.

    Great controller. Already had an elite controller, but the older version and this beats that one. No batteries and actually feels so good in my hands.

    Upgraded to this controller but I recommend buying the warranty, I play daily so the buttons damage a little before the 2 year warranty expires! Best purchase ever. I was running through cheap controllers every 3 months at 60 dollars a piece

    I've owned several of the Elite 1 and 2 controllers and it feels weird using the regular ones. I initially bought the controller to lower the brightness of the xbox button. But, now I like the feel and weight of the Elites amd can't go back. I do t use all the attachments. I do chanhe the depth feature of the triggers when playing online shooters. Probably doesn't help me.
