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.

    Good controller but only the core you have to purchase attachments to fully utilize all functions.

    I love my elite controller and wouldn’t go back to regular one, but if you’re a heavy player I’d suggest getting warranty. The actual controller bumpers tend to break fairly quickly and I hope they build something more durable in the next gen. Also wished they add more colors/customization.

    Great controller. It is well worth the price. I did get a controller out of the box with a lazy button and Best Buy exchanged it right away. Very grateful for this purchase!

    A bit high in the price for a xbox controller, my last elite controller lasted about 2 years, which isnt great for the price. Hopefully this controller lasts longer.

    Love it. Lame it doesn’t come with all the bumpers for the extra buttons. That “kit” is another $50 or junky stuff on amazon

    So far a great buy. Only difference between this and regular elite is it doesn’t include paddles but I’m not a fan of so it’s okay, plus you can buy separately.

    The controller is an amazing controller and it feels amazing. I gave it a 3 star because if you already own the first elite controller it’s not worth the upgrade
