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 these controllers for the Xbox. My wife bought me one and it's been great to use. Awesome battery life. Can pair with laptop and phone too. Charges relatively quick. Comes with a case and extra accessories. Can change the color on the app.

    Feels polished, well put together and durable. Compared to the cheap Amazon controllers, the Xbox Elite blows them all out of the water. Is it worth 3 or 4 times more than that no-brand controller? Absolutely. You won't know what you're missing until you've tried this. Find a demo and you'll know exactly what I mean as soon as you pick it up.

    I’m actually rather impressed with the build quality of this controller. I bought it because I keep having a problem with my triggers getting stuck on all my other controllers, and so far I haven’t had any problems. We’ll see if it keeps up, but so far it’s been great! Only reason it’s 4/5 is the price. Quite expensive unless you buy open box like I did.

    Been hankering to get one if these for months, and because of that I was a bit wary going in. You never know if a purchase is going to live up to the hype you build for it. I'm happy to say that to me at least, this does. When you first pick it up, you don't really notice much besides the weight (which is good and heavy; I can't stand lite cheap feeling controllers), but after a few hours in I started noticing subtle details. The sticks are suuuuuper smooth, and every button has a good solid click. The triggers are weighty and responsive, however the trigger stops detract slightly. I usually have them at the shortest pull when playing rpgs or shooters, and it almost feels like I'm going to break the stops. Other than that one detail, I haven't found anything about this controller I don't like. Very happy with my purchase.

    The paddles are great but the Y button feels a bit unresponsive. Other than that it's feature rich. I also owned a elite 2 before so I had all the accessories.

    Got this remote for my 2 boys because they’re hardcore gamers and they love their remotes! Also get the 2 year protection plan because the remotes fragile because sometimes the buttons stick, but no worries it’s normal! Trust me get the plan you will use it and when they check it at Best Buy they will give you a brand new one on the spot!

    I have two of these and I think they are the best controllers ever. The heavier weight feels great and the joysticks are very smooth. I have the total tech on them and if they ever have a problem I just swap it out for another. Highly recommend
