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 is Top notch controller on the market this purchase was actually my second one because I fell in love with the first . Controller feel in the hand is 5/5 Customization is simple 5/5 Mapping and U.I simple user friendly 5/5 I’ve had other customizable controllers but they were to complicated to use every week there was a firmware update and the quality felt cheap . The only downside is that this controller does NOT come with a wireless dongle . I’m still going to give the controller 5 stars but in the future XBOX / Microsoft please add the wire dongle in the box .

    Plays well, the paddles work and is a good replacement for when your original Xbox Elite Series 2 controller starts to get old. However, the bumpers of the controller seem unresponsive sometimes and may require you to press harder on them.

    Stick Drift

    Replacement for same one I bought last year that already had bad stick drift. These last longer than the regular Xbox controllers but still incredibly prone to stick drift after a few months of even light use. Also crazy they don’t even provide the accessories anymore on these besides the basic sticks.

    The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is an exceptional piece of gaming hardware that stands out for its customizable features and superior performance. With adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip, this controller offers enhanced precision and control. The rechargeable battery ensures up to 40 hours of gameplay, and the swappable components allow for a personalized gaming experience tailored to your style. Bluetooth connectivity and a durable carrying case add to its versatility, making it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers seeking a competitive edge.

    I’ve been using the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller for a while now, and it’s honestly a game-changer. Customizable buttons are the greatest. The ability to swap out thumbsticks and adjust the trigger sensitivity also help a lot. It feels solid and substantial in your hands. The battery life, is a huge plus—no need to constantly charge it (though I usually do). It also survived a bluberry beer spill almost immediately after unboxing. Bonus. The only downside I've found is the price, which is why I took so long to buy one.

    Amazing controller that I couldn't recommend more. It has a nice heft that I enjoy, easily swappable sticks and D-pad, long lasting battery. I've owned many Elite Series 2 controllers and while I've heard issues with stick drift, I've almost never had any issue aside from me dropping one multiple times. My overall controller pick.

    Super solid controller. Built well and has a good, quality, weighty feel to the controller. The accessories that come with it are great, as I love a more traditional D-Pad style instead of the default circle D-pad. My only minor complaint is sometimes the buttons can seem a bit mushy, but nothing that causes a lower star count. Reccomend this!
