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 son says it's the best Xbox controller he's ever used. It seems a little heavier but the button options are great and it's nice that the case can be used as a charging dock.

    This is a super great controller out of the many I have bought. Me and my boyfriend love this controller and the fact that you can match it to your own way that you like to have a controller is the coolest thing ever. I would definitely recommend buying this controller . It is definitely worth the money.

    Overall decent feel, takes some getting used to. Great mapping and good feel in the hands. I still think the joysticks are a bit odd but I’m used to it and happy with the added triggers

    I’ve been using the elite controllers since the beginning of the first elite v1. These controllers are very sturdy, and add a competitive advantage while playing competitive games. Haven’t had any problems with either controllers, and will continue to buy future new and improved controllers from Microsoft.

    Thought I would invest in this product so I didn't have to use so many batteries. Great investment. It is exactly as described. Love the ability to change the buttons. It lasts a long time on a charge, when low, I just plug in the cord or recharge. Wish I hadn't waited so long to buy it.

    Having the elite controller helps out with a lot of games by allowing you to keep your thumbs on the joy cons at all times. The only thing I recommend is getting the protection plan since the buttons will wear down pretty fast

    I’ve bought the elite controllers for a while now and I love them. They feel great in my hand and is pretty simple to set up the paddle to whatever input I want.

    Love this controller! Switch from a different brand custom controller that started falling apart after 6 months! As soon as I opened this one I noticed the quality was much better! The ease of setting up your custom button profiles and switching between them is amazing!

    Version two is a step up from the original elite controller. High quality everything down to the rubberized feel. USB c makes this controller something that should last much longer than the original as this was a point of failure in mine.
