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.

    wasn’t expecting to like it as much as i did, it’s really a good feekpling controller and the customization is very nice, i have different “modes” for different games.

    Excellent Functionality and customization, though it is very expensive, the price jump over the original was a bit unnecessary. the rubber grips are a big help for sweaty gaming sessions, and the rechargable battery is a nice touch, although it is a shame that it is built-in and non removable.

    The only think i have an issue with is that the RB and LB buttons seem to always have some issue. So I would recommend protection.

    I’d give it a 5 if I hadn’t had to replace it 3 times. These controllers are prone to random buttons failing. Get geek squad warranty. When it’s working it’s a… game changer (I’ll see myself out).

    Super easy to use and customize, good grip for those sweating gaming sessions. Only thing missing is the good old capture button for pictures and videos, otherwise 10/10

    I’ve always used the controllers that come with the Xbox system, but then I bought the elite. GET YOU ONE! The mapping, feel, and tweaks you can do with this controller is far beyond my expectations. Worth the money.

    The controller has been working great it exactly what I wanted, I’ve been using it for 3 weeks so far and playing with it has been fun. I would recommend if you want an elite controller without the other accessories.

    This controller thus far after a few weeks has none of the problems the other controllers have displayed. Usually these guys have bumpers that stop registering, or face buttons that get sticky but this unit has had none of that. Hopefully it continues.

    Best controller I have owned so far. Stick drift did occur, but I am tough on the left joystick. It’s currently being replaced via warranty and lasted longer than most others have. I also like the removable paddles on the back as opposed to ones that are built in. Some games not all 4 are needed and the others tend to get in the way.

    Love this controller if you want to step your game up than make sure you get one of these and dont forget your warranty so if it brakes you can get a new one and a new warranty for a quarter of the price

    Better feel than the original and improved paddles

    The Elite controllers are heavier than the standard Xbox One controllers and feel much better. I originally had the 1st version, but after about 2 yrs the menu button started sticking and I did a warranty exchange. The new version has a better texture and the paddle sticks are better also. I've used it on my Xbox One X and PC, works great, but for PC need the wireless dongle to use.

    I got this controller to use on my pc. The inserts are magnetic so they stay in place very well. Controls have a good feel and vibration feedback is not too much. I love this controller.
