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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Good controller though problems with drift occur and I've had to replace. I like the controller, though a bit heavy, and Best Buy honors their warranty.

    Solid controller that is heavier and has such a better feel in your hand compared to standard xbox controllers. The customization of the controller gives you endless options to adjust button layouts in whatever way suits your game pmay best.

    Overall the elite series have been a better choice for xbox only thing i wish they would change is the joysticks to the new magnetic ones to stop the terrible stick drift problem that all console makers have

    It was hard to justify 180 dollars for a controller. But once you hold, and feel, and play on an elite series 2 controller. It will be worth every penny.

    Good but there are better for cheaper. If you want a high end controller go for it but there are cheaper options that are just as good.

    I have the first elite series and the second one I also bought as well. It is awesome too. It is expensive but it is a huge difference to use this in competitive matchups such as call of duty. You get a big advantage having this to customize much more and triggers and to change the feel layout of the controller how You want it to be!!

    This is by far the best wireless and probbly wired controller on the market. Purchased after another wired premium brand controller broke. This has similar options, just minus 2 buttons. Should have bought this one from the beginning. Best feel and layout in my opinion for a controller. Only negative is the dish comes loose easily.

    I got this for my brother and he’s enjoyed using it. Compared to the first model it’s lasted longer (the triggers tend to drift). I also bought one for myself and my bumpers went bad rather quickly but ever since i replaced them they’ve worked fine.
