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.

    Love the elite controllers. Would have liked for this to come with the accessory pack, but it’s still very good, if overpriced

    This controller is very good, if your looking for a PRO controller, this is a good one. The battery life lasts for a long time, the grips, triggers and everything else just feels very comfortable in your hands. I definitely recommend putting the geek squad warranty just in case you have an accident OR if SOMETHING else happens....

    If you're looking for an obvious gaming edge this controller is what you're looking for. Back paddles should be considered illegal NEVER remove your fingers from the analogs. Controller itself is slick looking buttons are so easy to switch, comes with multiple replacement analogs different heights/styles (concave or bubbled). Yes controller is a bit expensive but if you're into competitive gaming or just into expensive fancy looking things then buy this right now and don't look back..

    It matches my Xbox Series S. I already have the Xbox Elite 2 controller but use that with my Xbox Series X. Which is black like the X. Anyway I also had the first Xbox Elite controller so already have all that i need for the new one. Which just seems like its suppose to go with the Xbox Series S.

    I had the elite series one and that was great until I started getting ghost movements in the left joystick. The series 2 Elite feels a bit better with the added grips and I LOVE the recharging feature. Been playing 7 days straight still haven’t needed to recharge the remote. And this is 5-7 hours a day playing. I love that I can map the triggers in the back for games like APEX and Smite. Very customizable. It is expensive, but you “feel” the difference. I think a little cheaper and it’s 100% hands down the best controller ever.

    Good controllers as I don’t have the need of the more expensive controllers. Only thing I notice is the buttons and joysticks can stop working after a year or more

    My very first Elite controller. The grip is nice. Paddles are a life changer move. The different sticks also make it very customizable
