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 for any game, a ton of customization options. Its pricey, but the price also makes sense for the improvements. I had the origional Elite, and so far im very happy with thep series 2.

    The controller looks and feels great. It worked great for one day, but the second day I had it, the left joystick started drifting. I tried changing the joystick attachment with no luck. After a week the Y button began to depress oddly which offered a slower than typical response. The battery life is excellent on the controller, but the issues I experienced within the first two weeks of owning the controller do not justify the premium price. Tried to exchange the product, but they are sold out. Will return if I can’t get an exchange and save myself 140 bucks by buying a cheap (but reliable) standard wireless controller.

    Definitely my favorite controller for the Xbox and PC. My only complaint is that it is my second one as the thumb sticks do end up having drift. The coated grips are great, in my opinion, and I like that the paddles underneath have been adjusted in length and are smaller than the original elite controller.

    While the standard xbox controller is more than serviceable, having a heftier, customizable option will always win out in my opinion. This controller is awesome.
