Usually get stuck drift about a year into owning but it's not terrible. A super comfortable controller and easily customized

Excellent per usual. This is my third one and I really enjoy it for PC play and my xbox. I do wish they would come out with an elite version with mechanical triggers.

I have these congrollers and love them. When they go on sale for this much, I grabbed another. Just in case I ever needed one. That’s how much I like this controller.

Found this on sale; it was an great replacement for my original controller. The replacement option was the plain xbox controller and once you play with an Elite it is hard to turn back.

Love it! Excellent controller and much better than the original. After a year I am starting to get a little stick drift which is annoying

Really happy with the quality. The components are each mag based and they are extremely easy to swap out. My only negative comment is the lack of a dedicated screen capture button. It can be mapped as a shift function but i miss the single button ease of use. Otherwise it's a great controller for fighting games and FPS's like Destiny 2

I really love this controller! Originally purchased an elite series 2, and traded for this and haven’t looked back. I bought some aftermarket paddles and I’m good to go for pretty much anything I could want to control in a game. I have found that it’s super helpful to map the L3 and R3 button clicks to the bottom paddles. That is worth the price of admission alone the triggers feel amazing, the grips in your hands on your skin just feel next level. I recently purchased an Xbox to play Starfield being a PS5 I thought I was going to have problems with the controller, but I prefer this one to the PlayStation. If you are a new Xbox user go for this upgrade with confidence!

Yeah, it's a little pricey but worth it. You get to customize the button layout and assign 4 paddles for the XYAB. If you have another Elite controller, the parts can be swapped out.

I’ve had this for a month now and It’s the best controller I’ve ever had. I don’t plan on buying paddles, but the handles feel very comfortable and the customization of how far the triggers go makes the experience feel much more snappy

I bought this for my grandson and he absolutely loves it

So far everything has been on par or better than the series one. great for use both on Xbox one and PC. Haven't personally tried the X,(I haven't been able to get one yet either. You're not alone!) but all the specs say it should work there too! Best part so far is the rubber wont fall off of this model. Unlike the series ones, as the whole case is rubberized. One note, be aware of the cords if you buy off brands later on. the controller itself needs a usb-c input. (The new rounded/oval shaped one.) It comes with all the cords you need though, so not something to worry about right away, but worth knowing that it's not the, used on everything, micro usb like the series one. But it's a better connection for newer machines. So it'll be better for the long run. Outside of fully moving the stick and button positions, (Like some of the wilder custom units.) you can personalize *literally* everything, and you have more variety of thumbstick styles and textures to match what you're actively playing, compared to the series one. It also just has a good feel. It's a simple thing, but it feels solid and well made.

The Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is worth every penny. It feels great in my hands, and the customizable buttons and triggers give me the competitive edge I need. It’s a must-have for serious gamers.

Best controller it works good and everything came perfect

Second elite series 2 controller. Love the weight and feel. Love the customizations.

at the condition of this open box item when it arrived. nothing missing. all buttons, sticks, levers work. now the hard part, figuring out what configuration i like...

This is a great upgrade. The controller is so customizable its crazy. Battery life is outstanding. Can also be used while charging. Its just a great controller. Once you use it you will never go back to a regular one.

Amazing controller got this one for my wife she loves it!

Maybe I just got lucky but this is the first Elite Series 2 controller I've purchased without button issues right out of the box. After a few attempts to get a working controller through Microsoft's warranty program, I finally decided to just return the $179 version. I saw this $129 controller in store and decided to take one more stab at it, maybe they'd finally resolved their issues. At first glance -- it does appear to work way better than the $179 verison, and it still has all the comfortable heft that the previous controller has. The only downside is that this version doesn't come with the charging case and extra paddles/thumbsticks. On the upside, Microsoft lets you keep the paddles/thumbsticks from the mainline Series 2 controller when replacing under warranty, so I have plenty of those laying around! :D

Perfect controller!!!! I love it so muchhhhhhhhhhhh

I had the first elite controller for a long time and really liked the controller, but it had a tendency to break with the rubber coming off and stick drift. This controller is a direct improvement on the first one and is so good so far. The buttons and analog sticks are much more responsive and customizable. Perfect for FPS.
