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.

    Just a basic elite controller

    Bought as a spare for my 3 year old Elite controller, just a basic elite controller with no accessories, do not recommend buying if you don't have an elite controller with all the accesories already. I'm taking off a star because it doesn't come with a replacement tall stick which I feel could have been included at the very least since it is a main wear item. It does come with 2 short thumbsticks though.

    Great controller and it is totally worth it. The battery last what seems like forever. I rarely have to charge and when I do it’s lightening quickly because of usb-c. If you enjoy gaming and not paying for batteries or silly pack then purchase this controller.

    This controller is a huge step up from the regular controller provided with the Xbox! The bells and whistles are totally worth it and the case is that final magic touch. I’m a streamer and sometimes travel to game and having a cased controller is like having your cake and eating it too! Well worth the money!!

    These controllers bring your gaming to the next level. I bought these for my sons, who play Fortnite against their friends, and they are dominating. It is built incredibly well and has excellent battery life.

    I had my eyes on this for a while. Bit the bullet after missing out on Black Friday sales but i love the purchase! Its been helpful on games and Fps. And it feels premium with its padding and grip and extra tactical buttons.

    Love the feel of this over the basic controller. The level of customization is amazing and can be applied to any play style. The latest update did cause some issues playing on an Ipad but it works well enough.

    This is by far the best controller I've ever used. It's built really well and feels good in my hands. Having the trigger settings and removable buttons as well as 3 on the fly programmed settings takes this controller over the top. The price tag will make you consider not buying but after pulling the trigger I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The 40 hour built in battery and charging dock are another added bonus to this nifty controller. Highly recommend.

    This thing is a game changer. Having the back paddles for traditional button actions makes the controller competitive. You have the ability to never lift your thumbs off the joysticks. Increases reaction times for all mechanics of your gameplay. Solid build. Long battery life. Full access to detailed settings. You’ll find yourself building complex profiles for each game with this controller. Does so much more than just control your game.
