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.

    This controller is definitely worth it! Most basic controllers last me a few months but this one so far has outlasted and out performed all others. Just buy it you will spend more in the long run replacing the cheap controllers.

    Gotta give Microsoft credit cuz they made the Elite controller even better. Solid built but I’m just waiting to see if there will be any stick drift I’m with this in the future. As of this review I’m 2 months in and so far so good. I don’t care for the grips, I’m hoping scuf comes out with their grips for this soon but other than that I think this is a perfect controller.

    This controller is a MUST buy. If you are a FPS gamer this will change your game play. It will take awhile getting used to the paddles but well worth it. I recommend starting of off with one paddle first to train your muscle memory. DO not attempt to use all four to start or it will just mess you up more than it helps when you practice with it

    This controller, along with the paddles, takes gaming to another level. If you play any FPS, I recommend buying this controller as you can fine tune the entire controller to your liking.

    It is a great controller while it works. I bought one and the A button would not work so I traded it in. The 2nd one I got worked great for a while but then the right bumper started to not work

    Simplicity is one of the keys. I had two other brands over the last decade and a half. This one isn’t as tiresome to use. It’s also VERY responsive. A great choice.

    Awesome controller. Tons of great customization options via the Xbox app. Has a nice weight in the hands and feels comfortable to hold. The paddles work really well and are my favorite part of the controller. Tends to break down quickly like regular xbox controller unfortunately.

    Great controller with the exception of the left and right bumpers which start to stick/fail after about a year and a half of use. I highly recommend purchasing the two year warranty.

    I think this controller is a step in the right direction for Xbox, because this controller here feels and handles more like an elite controller. The movements are flawless and effortless, plus the battery last longer and you charge the controller by putting it back in its case! It also shows the battery balance that let you know it's time to recharge!
