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 Controller for Xbox by far just make sure to get insurance because the Series 2 does experience RB button failure.

    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.

    I was looking to take my gaming to a higher level with some of the new FPS titles that had come out ie: Apex Legends / COD and I wanted the ability to preset and learn to keep my fingers on the buttons to mitigate the time I spent unable to complete important actions like aiming or reloading. The grips on this controller are amazing and the ability to swap out parts so easily is a huge plus. I've used this daily since I bought it and have seen little to no wear or lag in the aiming dead zone.

    A little difficult to get used to at first as you get accustomed to the paddles on the back, took me about a week or so but when you do, it's worth it. Now I dont have to let go of the right thumbstick to press the front faced buttons which puts you in an advantage. Controller feels great in your hands with the rubberized grips. You can easily customize between different paddles and thumbsticks. You can customize how far you want to press the triggers. Overall great controller and worth the price!!

    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

    This is an amazing controller. All the buttons and triggers and extremely responsive and it feels just right in your hands. It is slightly heavier than your regular controller but not too heavy that it becomes uncomfortable to use. The customization options are excellent but I personally don't need them. Perhaps if you game professionally it might be of use. You can also remove the buttons at the back, which I did since they are not needed for my casual gaming. All in all, awesome controller.
