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 controller is on point. I HIGHLY suggest getting the Best Buy Protection Plan. Microsoft warranty for the Elite 2 controller is only 90 days.

    I had a scuff prestige that gave me issues 2 months into ownership and within a year the controller wouldn’t even hold a charge when plugged in while playing. I had enough of scuff then found this on sale for like $40 off and it’s more comfortable and reliable than scuff. Love the easily removable triggers on the back and the metal d pad. Even the carrying case it comes in is so smooth. This is the controller for console not scuff trust me

    Comfortable and good ergonomics. Easy set up. Battery duration could be better. Good thing I got it on sale otherwise I would return it and it wouldn't be worth the regular price.
