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 this controller it feels and looks better than the original. I have no complaints! Just know that it is only the controller it does not come with the case and exchangeable buttons.

    Bar none the best pro controllers on the market and all the included accessories make it a steal. The response is unreal. Excellent build quality and the battery seems to never die. Very happy with my purchase

    Solid controller, works well. The replaceable thumb sticks are cool, but unfortunately this controller doesn’t come with the paddles, so you will have to buy them separately.

    Great upgrade to the basic controller, all the parts are easy to change and swap out. Puls the case can store the extra parts and charges the controller, no more having to plug it in just place it in and its spot and it starts to charge

    Great controller feels much better than the old elite controller and you can charge it inside the case. Its a bit pricey though you do get a slight edge on people with regular controllers. 4 stars only because I feel like its over priced. Watch out for analog drift heard it happens with these controllers.

    I can't go back to using another controller. The trigger locks and rubber grips make a big difference.

    I like the design of the controller and the comfort. The only draw back is after a while the sensors stick and needs cleaning or in my case, just bought another controller. I haven’t found a place to have the controller repaired.

    Great controller, much better than the one that came with the Xbox. One thing to notice is that at first it was behaving weirdly with my MacBook and when I connected it to the Xbox it updated and solve the MacBook issues.

    Once you start using the Elite controller, the original xbox controllers start to feel like toys. I like that you can lock the triggers to different lengths depending on the game that you are playing. Very nice controller and nice color.

    I hadn’t actually intended to buy the elite series 2, but I was having issues with one of my joysticks on the elite series 1 controller. I learned it would be nearly the same price as buying the newer model to send in the old one for repair, so I went ahead and ordered the series 2. The controller feels great, just like the series 1, but the battery life is incredible. Highly recommend this controller!

    I really love that this controller is finally rechargeable, although being able to charge in the case doesn't always work. Also, my hands seem to sweat more when compared to the series 1. Overall great design and comfort. I also love having different analog options and even though i haven't used the tool to adjust the analogs im intrigued, but leary of messing with them.

    Awesome controller! You can adjust the sensitivity on thumbsticks and makes it so much more responsive. I still think its too expensive but its a great controller. Solid! Good quality

    Ever since being able to afford one, I have always used these. The reason for the four-star is that I know in six-seven months I will need top use the warranty support for stick drift or a broken bumper. The reason why not three or lower, I have total rewards and BestBuy is good with replacement controllers.
