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.

    Amazing controller! The customization is insane. Compatible with Xbox Series X/S & PC. It's my daily driver. I love it. My only issue was that after a couple of years the shoulder buttons are now really sensitive and will register multiple clicks with one push. Fortunately I have the RB LB buttons mapped to the back buttons, so its not a big deal. If this happens to you call MS immediately so they can replace it while still under warranty.

    I've gotten many different types of controller brands. Gotta say that this was on my #1 spot on my list immediately. Just needs a little more customization when it comes to button binding.

    Excellent controller! Can feel the quality that went into the product. Much better fit to the hand vs the original control from an Xbox one. Best Buy did an amazing job at answering all of my questions did so with a positive attitude and huge smile. Kudos to Microsoft for the remote design and Best Buy for thir amazing service!

    Overall the controller isn’t bad and I enjoy the ability to create multiple controller presets for different games but after a few months of use it acquired stick drift in both joysticks.

    The controller is awesome if it doesn’t have some kind of fault. I had to return the first one because some buttons were funky, but the second one is perfect! (I highly recommend getting the warranty)

    Its good, but the quality with the buttons are hit or miss. I believe there was a lawsuit against M$ over button issues.

    After playing with it during the Halo Infinite Insider Flight, I'd highly recommend it! The buttons and reduced trigger time helps so much with FPS games specifically and it feels like a must if you're looking for a premium controller for PC and Xbox gaming. With so much customization on the controller and the app, it feels incredible. Can't wait for Halo Infinite and to try out the controller even more! I'll probably pick up Battlefield and Far Cry to use this controller more.

    I love Xbox series 2 elite controllers. They are smart, ergonomic, built rock solid, smooth and sleek. If there are any controllers better I dont look for them.

    It a good controller but honestly we felt the standard XBOX controller was more comfortable. The elite has added trigger option on the bottom so it may be better for someone who play games which need extra triggers. We ended up using 2 or 3 times and sold it.

    Customization is cool and all. BUT The battery life alone is enough of a reason to buy this controller. Feels nice and well built, so far so good for the first year. The paddles on the rear of the controller are actually a blessing and a curse, some games you love using them and other games, well good thing they are removeable! Only reason for 4 out of 5 for 'value'; its expensive but worth it if you're a gaming enthusiast.
