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 should have been shipped standard with the Xbox Series X. It makes the whole system feel more quality. Good adjustments on the triggers and sticks.

    Great controller, but this is my 2nd one in just over a year. The buttons seem to get stick drift after a while and this is only worth it with the protection plan since it would be fully covered if anything were wrong with it.

    Wanted the white controller with accessories, so I got the accessory pack on the side. No drift issues yet, but I’m confident my total tech warranty will save the day if need be.

    I've never paid more than the "normal" price for a controller so I don't have much experience with high end controllers, but I absolutely love this controller. It has a really nice weight and feels sturdy. Haven't had issues yet. But I got the protection plan because I heard there are a few issues

    I purchased this specifically because it offers three levels of tension for the joysticks. As someone who has hand tremors due to Parkinson’s disease, adjusting the joystick tension so it is harder to move reduces the negative effect of my tremors. I also like having an additional position for trigger pull depth. To further fine tune the triggers you can us the Xbox app to change the point at which the trigger reacts to your pull. I created a dead spot at the beginning of my left trigger pull because I was unintentionally putting tension on the trigger. So if I jumped in Destiny 2 it would cancel my jump. Now I have no issues. On the downside after a few days of use, the right trigger started squeaking verhy loudly. I searched YouTube and found a video that recommended using a dry lube like WD40 Teflon spray. Worked like a charm for me. Microsoft only offers a 90 day warranty so I recommend buying the extended warranty from Best Buy.

    Is it expensive? Yes Is it worth it? YES. It's heavy which makes it feel sturdy, the paddles on the back add extra inputs (which I love) and the trigger locks are a godsend for shooters.
