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 loves the controller for the adjustment capabilities. Def a little pricey. I just hope it won’t suffer from the drifting issues reported/class action suit.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that your son is loving his new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. While we don't anticipate him having any issues with it, every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty. If he runs into any issues, please have him reach out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    This is a Christmas gift for a 14 year old great-grandson, at his request. I am sure he is going to be thrilled since it's the only thing he asked for!

    Top Tier Gaming Controller, solid build. Does the job. They don’t make the regular ones like this anymore. Worth the extra bucks for a more solid build and accurate aiming.

    First of all, I do not know why no Best Buy’s carry this in stock ANYWHERE. So with the warranty thankfully they replaced my controller. However, I had to leave my controller with them on Monday morning and they told Me I would receive it by Friday June 27th.. on Saturday i received and update saying I won’t get it until Monday ! Thankfully I was home on Monday when they delivered it and my pck age was not stolen !!!!

    I tried other pro style controllers and while there are in fact better budget options, if you want something that feels solid and eloquent instead of the feel of a toy, do yourself a favor and save time and heartache by getting this. Here are the things that separate this controller besides materials: - Adjustable tension analog sticks - Shift key programming function (effectively double your amount of buttons) - true bluetooth - guaranteed to work with next gen console - pc and android phone usage (project xcloud) - case is the charger - can setup multiple button profiles to quick change between
