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.

    I absolutely love the Elite controllers and they are well worth the price. The red looks awesome and its very comfortable. Do be warned that it doesn't come with paddles so you either have to buy an accessories pack either from Xbox or aftermarket.

    Great controller! Has a wonderful grip feel and very long battery life. I had the paddles left over from a broken series one elite controller so they moved right over. But the thumb sticks don’t transfer so keep that in mind.

    The cost of the controller is perfect for this model, it has a great color touch on all pieces of the controller even the cable is great and long lasting. I would highly icemen’s if you like mix and matching with other controllers

    This is amazing. Definitely changed my game playing. Being able to change the triggers is awesome. Does not come with back paddles. Which is really the whole point in getting one of these. Had to buy separate

    Love the elite controller. The red color is amazing! Feels great so far. Highly recommend purchasing the geek squad warranty in case the controller messes up

    The controller is very comfortable and easily costumizable. Also instead of the constant need to change out the batteries this controller contains a built in battery pack you just need to charge and should last up to 1 whole day or even 2 depending on how much you game.

    GREAT when it works properly! Unfortunately I’ve only had the controller less than 6 months and the Right Bumper and “A” Button are almost unresponsive. As well as developing stick drift in the left Analog Stick already. Warranty is absolutely necessary for any Elite controller.

    Good quality. Feels nice in your hands. I like being able to adjust the joystick sensitivity. My one complaint is it did not come with the back paddles and adjustable joysticks, but third party options were relatively cheap, but with the high cost of the controller I feel like it should come with.

    I bought this for my son after going thround 5 other microsoft controllers. Ive had the elite 2 for a couple of years now with no drift and since I had already paid the elite price with replacing his… this made more sense. The color combination was a nice addition— now my daughter wants one in pink
