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.

    excellent controller with the same feel as the original Elite 2 controller, just without the included triggers/adapters (which I didn’t really use anyway); great value for the price

    Anyone who's anyone will buy this controller. It's a work of art. In fact, as i walked out the store with the box clearly visible a few female undergarments were tossed my way. Here's hoping the durability holds up!

    Had it for a few months now and works great as the day I purchased it. No drifting and the rubbers by the palm is still in great shape. The controller is being used a lot between to players and no button getting stuck. Also, I did but the two-year warranty with it in case it fails on us down the line.

    Good controller but ended up returning it after about 3 weeks of use. Has a few issues and didn’t fully use all the extra buttons and paddles for the price paid. Nice weight and feel but I’m happy with my series controllers.

    Great product, if you already have an elite controller take the paddles off the back side and switch them over and save a few bucks.

    Its a pretty great controller. I love the back paddles and they remind me of the steam decks. The thumb sticks are also extremely smooth. These two things together i find myself fidgeting with the controller when watching youtube or otherthings on my PC. I got it to play games on my pc that use controller better than mouse and keyboard like fallen order, lego starwars or elden ring. The software you can download for it also lets you make profiles for it on PC and lets you change the color of the XBOX logo.
