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 will gladly pay twice as much for this because it is so sturdy. The regular controllers break after a year or two so it is worth the investment. I had the original elite for five years and this one is better in every way.

    The customizability you have with this controller is INSANE. The application on the xbox allows for customization of anything from response curves, to completely changing button mapping. Love this controller, although, I haven't gotten better at any games.

    We got this controller for our son who is an avid Xbox player and gamer and he loves it. It has many functions beyond the standard controller, it's heavy duty and solid and it's working exactly as he hoped it would. We've only had the controller for about 2 weeks but we're hoping it lasts for a long time.

    It is the best controller that you can own for the Xbox. Period. It doesn't come with all the components of the Elite, but you can purchase those add-ons.

    All the time I had bought low quality controls, now that I have this I can say that when you buy quality you feel the difference. Much more efficiency, high battery performance.

    I really like the elite controllers because they come with tools to fix your controller and they are fixable. The paddles are amazing and increased my gameplay.

    Bought this to use with my Alienware 15" Ryzen Series 9 laptop. Was too much of a hassle using my keyboard. I'm very happy with the controller. Bluetooth connection is easy and so far I haven't experience any drops during gaming. So can highly recommend.
