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 BUT fragile. Buy the warranty!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This purchase was for a replacement of first Elite Controller. Great great controller BUT it is definitely more fragile. One of the critical control buttons decided to not work, thus rendering this controller useless for battle. Buy the extended warranty from BestBuy on this item. At $150 for a replacement, the 2 year warranty price is really worth it. Not Best Buy’s fault that this controller broke. C’mon Microsoft. Add a cost effective warranty extension.

Great upgrade
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really nice hand feel and button response. The paddles are smaller than the first elite controller, accidental pushes are less but they’re almost too small. The paddles from the first elite I seem to be compatible, but I had issues with what would be the B paddle not consistently working, so you could mix and match. The rechargeable battery is a nice addition and the 3 position triggers are really nice.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat controller with not so great defect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. Weight is a little heavy and grip texture is perfect for those sweaty games. Downside is after 6 month to a year you will notice the right bumper having intermittent failure as well as stick drift in right thumb stick. I recommend warranty because it is a common defect that happens in almost all Elite 2 controllers.

I would recommend this to a friend Works well at first.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the series one controller and had issues with 2 over time. When the series 2 was announced, I was ecstatic to be able to game with ease and with paddles, which I grew attached too. Months later, I started to experience controller drift in the left joystick, which is a horrible issue for practically every game. I hope Xbox puts better care in future products. TIP: if you buy, buy the warranty

Posted .Hi Thomas,
We're sorry that there's an issue with thumbstick drift on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Every new Xbox controller also comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution
Hope that helps,

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really nice build feels good in the hands. Easy to set-up and use and it last a long time on the built in battery.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat improvement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big improvement over the series one as far as functionality. The hair trigger is much better the fact you can tighten the joy sticks to your liking is a added plus gives you better feed back. To me it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the series one though. The bumper buttons seem a little weaker. But the control feels slimmer which again in my opinion is better. Still think it is over priced but still a great controller if you want to spend the money
