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 would be my 3rd and final xbox elite controller purchase. Every single version.... Stick drift and double tapping right bumper. If you play fps games .. skip this one. You'd break it within 2 months. I'd out money on it. It's a shame. It feels really good on your hands, and the buttons feel so smooth, until it stops working properly.

    Controller is great tbh except it does have some quality control issues. Out of the box when I purchased it 05/2021 the left analog stick didn't really work unless I press really hard. Over time pieces start to just break or become less clicky and effective like my LB button now. If you purchase this I highly recommend getting the protection plan with it because you will need it.

    This controller is perfect but lacks longevity with normal use. Not a super heavy gamer, maybe 2hrs at a time if that. If it wasn't for Geek squad, I probably wouldn't recommend. I've had 4 so far and have gotten 4-6 months before a button, bumper or trigger starts to malfunction.

    It’s a great controller, but after only a couple of days, the B button started sticking. I have mailed it in for repair to Microsoft. I will update when I get it back.

    Best controller on market for the mix of support and features. Terrible terrible build quality. I have gone through 6 of these. All for the same reason of bumpers breaking. I can now fix the issue myselfz but it requires taking the front plate of the controller off and most people don't want to do that. Nor do they want to buy isopropyl alcohol, i just happened to have some cause I built my PC.
