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 love the controller as far as the way they made it and the way it feels in the hand. It has a nice premium weight to it that I appreciate. Having the four extra triggers are great I’ve had them for a few years on several controllers so I’m used to that by now but my serious problem is the drift. I’ve read a lot of nightmare reviews about people having a bad drift a few weeks after having it which made me not wanna buy it but I figured I would take a chance. I open the box paired the controller and started the new halo campaign up and instantly there was drift. And no matter what I did or what setting I put it on I cannot fix it I could slow it down a little bit but no matter what it would ruin my game every time . So the fact that I got drift from a brand new controller out of the box is absolutely unacceptable and I will be returning. It’s a shame.

    I love this elite controller. When I saw it, i knew i just had to get it. The color scheme is so dope and so much better than the black one. This controller come with so the extra paddles and stuff but you can go on Amazon and buy the whole set with the case, charging base and and the paddles/thumb sticks. If you want a different feel and look, i would definitely recommend

    Time will tell on the grips but it’s already way better than the 1rst version with the built in battery and included chargers and a good battery life. While not as precise as I like in the joysticks they are very good. Triggers are great with more adjustability than previous version. Overall I’d say much better deal than version one even though it cost more, if the grips don’t fall off that is, which they shouldn’t.

    Best Xbox controller out there. Been using the elite series controllers for about a year now, no stick drift on any. Huge upgrade from the default. Connects with Xbox & PC smoothly.

    So far it’s been working great with no issue, I love been able to customize and use the paddles and to have peace of mind with the protection plan that covers me for 2 years which is a must with the high end controllers, “I would definitely recommend the controller”
