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 has been a great controller so far. Not sure if it’s $180 great but thanks to gift cards and rewards it didn’t cost me that much. Highly recommended if you are a die hard Xbox user.

    This is by far the best controller I’ve ever owned.(yes including the PS5 dual sense) Only reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating is I’ve had multiple elite series controllers in the past, and there are always issues that eventually occur. Shouldn’t happen so frequently with hardware that costs this much, but it always seems to unfortunately. That being said, I absolutely love gaming with the elite series 2. It’s extremely useful, and now that I’m accustomed to it, I can’t go back to a standard Xbox controller.

    Best controller I’ve ever used. The LB on the first gen elite controller gave out on multiple occasions so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen with this one, but as of now no complaints whatsoever.

    The series 2 has several slight improvements over the original elite controller. Together these improvements add up to the best controller I’ve ever owned. The only negative about this controller is the price.

    The controller has a good build quality. The back paddle is a nice for racing/shooting game. However the I noticed my controller A button seems faulty: It has a 30~40% chance miss, my normal XBox Series X controller does not have this issue. I am still in the return window so was able to return it to Bestbuy. I did a Google search and I found I am not only one having this issue, so making sure you have tested the controller buttons before playing.
