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.

    Best wireless option for Xbox

    This controller is better than the default Xbox controller in every way. The paddles are great if you have finger/thumb issues like I do. There are basically no good wireless aftermarket options outside of this; the Scuf controller is wireless, but it runs on AA batteries, which I don't want to deal with.

    Great controller. The added weight, adjustable tension on the joysticks, and overall feel surpass the standard controller. Highly recommended to gamers who want a more substantial controller.

    Good feel and solid build. So far no problems. Like the adjustable triggers. Will keep an eye for stick drift. Triggers are great because they can be tightened down. D pad feels odd being multi-direction. Overall pretty good. A bit overpriced tho.

    Great controller, but bumpers break easily

    The controller worked great, and the paddles on the back were able to work with rebinding native keys, but with the default configuration I was also able to use Steam controller configuration to rebind keyboard and mouse keys to the controller. It had everything I wanted, and it handles very well. But, after about 6 months of use, the right bumper broke, and because I didn't purchase a protection plan I now have to repair it on my own, or just deal with a broken button. I read reviews online about "just rebind the RB to one of the paddles," but come on, no one wants a broken button, and it shouldn't have broken this soon in the first place. I read online that this was a problem with the series one controller, and apparently it hasn't been fixed in the series two. If you buy this, make sure to get the protection plan, because chances are your bumpers are going to break. Other than the bumpers, I've had no problems with the controller.

    Amazing controller! The custom button remapping and rear button paddles are worth it alone if you like playing games with a controller on PC, an Xbox One or Series X/S. I map most game's crouch and jump buttons to the right paddles so my thumb doesn't need to leave the thumbstick and stop aiming to perform those actions. Just be wary of any paddle mappings that are buttons that can delete characters like the X button in Destiny 2. I've heard one too many stories of people setting their Elite on their lap or on some junk on a coffee table and a paddle was pressed in for the "delete character" command, and they accidentally pressed the confirm paddle button when picking up the controller. Aside from that, the trigger stops are nice to give your index fingers a bit of a rest for repetitive trigger pulls, and with custom remapping, you can tweak your button layout in most games to emulate the layout of your favorite games. I've heard stories of some people's controllers wearing down bumper buttons faster than others, but so far, my first Elite series 2 lasted almost 2 years before the bumper wore down and I needed to replace it. Far better than the usual 6-9 months of the Elite series 1. The GSP protection is a livesaver, though not as cheap of a plan when they were first released. The 2-year warranty is currently $60, which is the cost of a normal controller to replace what would be this luxury $180 controller. I really hope we see a day where custom remapping and horizontally aligned back paddles become the norm and not a luxury. But for the time being, this is my favorite controller of all time.

    Sucks that Microsoft still makes you purchase battery paks for controllers. This is where they fall short in the console wars. However, this was an impulse buy, dang it microsoft. But it is a very good controller. It feels premium and it comes with a charge base. All controllers should be double a battery free at this point. But still, all in all, its worth it.

    Outside of the known issues with stick drift, I exclusively play Xbox daily utilizing my elite controller. The trigger settings and ability to swap out my sticks for different play styles definitely improved my game play. Heck I bought a second one for my pc
