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.

    This controller is everything you want in 2020. The only thing I will say is get the insurance. I'm very gentle with all my devices (especially controllers- considering how fragile they tend to be). Alot of my friends have been experiencing knob drifting, and other little things malfunctioning.... Long story short, excellent controller, but that insurance will SAVE YOUR POCKETS in the long run. *My left stick is starting to feel a little lose after about a month or so of having it.

    I absolutely love the Elite controllers and they are well worth the price. The red looks awesome and its very comfortable. Do be warned that it doesn't come with paddles so you either have to buy an accessories pack either from Xbox or aftermarket.

    I was skeptical at first about spending so much on a controller, but after just one night of using it, I'm telling you, BUY THIS CONTROLLER! I used it with the new Modern Warfare and it stepped my game up tremendously. You can customize the paddles to whatever setup you'd like. It makes reloading, switching weapons, crouching, and jumping more fluid with not having to move your fingers all over the controller. It is a must from anyone who is competitive down to casual. No regrets. Worth Every Penny!

    If you like the classic feel of Xbox controllers with an upgraded feel, then the Elite 2 is for you. Though the warranty plan is recommended as most times these do start wearing out.
