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.

    One of the best controllers I have ever used. The 4 paddle option makes it so easy to customize movements and re-mapping everything to my way of playing the game.

    Been playing on the original Xbox and still have it along with 360 and XBox 1X. This is by far the best Xbox controller I have ever owned and experienced. The feel and controllers are definitely elite compared to all the other Xbox controllers. It was recently in stock and on sale which was a bonus.

    My favorite pro controller

    I love never needing to take my thumbs off of the thumbsticks. I solely use this controller for competitive shooter titles, and it works great! The customization is highly appreciated, I’ve tried many combinations already and will continue to experiement. I don’t personally get anything out of the different tension settings, though. The feeling of the controller is pure quality, from the weight, to all the buttons and triggers. I especially love the D-Pads, but for competitive shooters I have almost exclusively used the ‘plus’ D-pad. All-in-all, a way better pro controller than the Dualsense Edge, and on par with 3rd party pro controllers.

    I love this controller. I typically play anywhere between 2 and 8+ hour’s a day and have been playing on multiple devices for over 20+ years. I can honestly say this is one of the best I’ve used…

    Lol so bought this controller less then 6 months ago and it started breaking with in three. I'm not especially hard on my equipment but dang for 200$ you would think it would last longer then normal 60$ controllers which have a shelf life of like at least a year. Buttons started getting harder to us like RB and Left Thumbstick Click. Nothing Best Buy will do if you don't pay more then you already are for a freaking elite 2 controller which is kinda dumb. Microsoft only has a 90 day warrenty on them which from what I've read is about when they have the most problems right after that. Cool. Next time I'll just punch myself in the face and give a stranger 260$ (60 for geek sqaud!) Great controller I guess, if it actually worked that is.

    I've waited some time before making a post about the controller. Now I am NOT a big time games but I do solely use my elite controller when I do because it just feels good in my hands. It has a nice SOLID feel to it.

    Already have a couple but this one was on sale and i couldn't resist. Solid, well made controller that can be upgraded with paddles and the likes. Way better than the stock controller.

    Amazing controller for Xbox and pc

    This is an awesome controller with the perfect mapping and paddle locations. It’s easy to use and depending on how you hold your controller you can map the keys exactly how you want them. Definitely recommend for Xbox and pc players if they want an easy to map customizable setup. Definitely a bit expensive but after using it for a bit I think it slowly becomes worth it.

    These are decent controllers, but not worth the money at all. I’ve owned 2 now and both have issues. Buttons getting stuck and even stick drift. I take extremely good care of these and can’t believe they have these issues. I thought maybe I got unlucky on the first one I bought so after a year I bought another one. The new one now has issues and I don’t use either of my elite controllers and wouldn’t buy again.
