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.

    My overall favorite controller. The weight, the paddles and feel of the grips make this, for me, the overall best console controller to use.

    So far the best Xbox controller I’ve owned. I use it for PC gaming and console gaming. The connection is flawless and the buttons feel great. The controller has a weight to it, gives it a quality feel.

    Just replaced my xbox elite 2 after about 3 years, and since having one, i only needed the core. Once having and elite its hard to go back. However they are fragile. First one is almost unusable now from 1 bad drop

    Only issue I’ve run into with this remote is the bummers. Seem to fail sooner than anything else.

    extremely good controller I love the elite controllers the Microsoft has made but these new ones are mind blowing. I wish they came with a case like my black elite series 2 but that’s not that big of a difference still get a great controller built to last with a great battery

    Broke a previous one after rage quitting, so I decided to upgrade. I like how everything is adjustable, I feel like it has improved my gaming experience big time. I never want to go back to the original controller.

    Love the controller. Great holiday gift for someone this season. Has a great battery life. I probably need to charge it every week and a half or so. Feels very high quality. I dont want to go back to a reqular controller. Highly recommend

    I have owned two Elite 2 controllers in the past so buying this was a no-brainer. Love the red and black color scheme. It is definitely a great choice for anyone who is just looking for a replacement controller without paying full price for all the extra accessories
