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 really enjoy this controller because of the extra buttons and the ability to change out parts. but what i dont like or understand is why they would sell this without the dongle to be able to use it bluetooth on your pc? so if you purchase this for your pc make sure you purchase the xbox dongle as well or you have to use it plugged in and not wireless.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox wireless controller for the most part. The great news is that the Elite 2 has built-in Bluetooth support so you can sync it with any Windows 10 PC that supports Bluetooth without the need for an additional adapter. For more information on how to connect via Bluetooth, go here: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/accessories/connect-and-troubleshoot-xbox-one-bluetooth-issues

      Hope that helps,

    For the price its amazing. Especially if you already have spare paddles and joysticks highly recommend this over the 200+ elite controller. Also, in more colors than black? Say less!!!

    Don’t expect this controller to make you the best player but it does give you the tools to get better. The build quality is what really sets this apart from the regular controller. Plenty of customizations options, battery life/charging stand eliminates the struggles of finding a battery pack with a charge, the controller looks great. Overall great upgrade

    definitely worth it. this remote is so customizable. from the joysticks to the d pad and even the triggers. not to mention the different profiles that you can mess with on the xbox to assign the buttons to whatever you want, plus xbox has already announced that it will be compatible with the next gen console, so you're all good there too. Must have!!!

    Love the thumbsticks and the paddles

    I really like this controller. It feels very premium, and it has helped me with my gameplay due to the paddles. They were a little tough to get used to at first since you have to grip the controller slightly less firm, but once you get used to it, it feels very natural. The thumbsticks are also very smooth and precise.
