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.

    I honestly recommend it only if you already bought the other elite series controller that has every accessory already included buying it by itself would be a waste but for me already having all the other accessories this was a really good purchase

    The Elite controller makes gaming so much better. The buttons aren't loud, and don't feel so blocky like the basic controllers that come with the XB1X systems.

    Best controller ever made

    The best of the best! Great for shooters where you need your hands on the thumb sticks. Easily map buttons to wherever you want. Build quality is fantastic. My series one broke and they wernt making that one anymore so I had to wait 4 months for this and use a standard controller while I waited. It was a big adjustment in the games where I was so use to using it. I couldn't even remember what button did what! Highly recommend!

    This was my favorite controller for years until I needed a replacement recently. They obviously changed their manufacturing because I exchanged it 6 different times and every single time each controller had the exact same issue. The left thumbstick is completely chalked. Can’t even move it in a circle smoothly, it gets stuck and sometimes it doesn’t even detect movement at all. Again, 6 different controllers from two different locations had this exact same issue. It’s like they know they are pushing out broken controllers but just don’t care lol
