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.

    Great controller lives up to the hype. If you're looking to replace or upgrade and you can afford it I would say go for it.

    Great product when it works, but I had to return it after 2 months due to slight drift on the stick. Got a replacement and now it works flawlessly ❤️

    I waited way to long to get one and I regret that. If you’ve never tried one and have been using the standard controller you are missing out.

    The controller is very sturdy. Feels great in hand. Best controller build on the market by Microsoft. Having this in combination with the Geek Squad protection is 10x better than having a Scuff controller. Cable (USB-C) given with controller is about a 6 feet long. Doesn’t always connect directly with system when attempting to turn on the console from controller. To fix just connect the cable to the console and syncs. Minor flaw but also didn’t attempt to update firmware on controller to see if it remedied the issues.

      Hi there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If you're still experiencing an issue with the connection to your Xbox, we do recommend (you guessed it!) updating the firmware on your controller and making sure that your Xbox also has the latest service update installed. Please reach out to Xbox Support if that doesn't fix the problem: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck
