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.

    So far so good I'll try and focus this review on the things I think are useful that people want to know. I've had the controller about 1 week, and used it for a good several hrs each day. I don't play competitive and don't thrash the controller around. Been playing twin stick with reasonable amount of trigger usage, and some coverage of all other buttons including the infamous Y button. So far I have had no issues, no double clicks, or missed clicks etc. Both sticks are perfectly tracking as shown in the xbox accessories software. And the response curve on the triggers is also as it should be. The trigger adjustments work as expected and feel solid, but by the same token I wouldn't be too rough with them when shortened. The stick tension provides three settings, standard, firm, and extra firm. This worked fine for me, but I'll be sticking with standard. Accessories: I love the convenience of the charging stand and case it comes with The different stick options are a plus and easy to swap, but I will probably just use the default ones. The faceted (default) dpad has a nice action, but for me the + dpad is the better choice and has a decisive response! The paddles work fine, easy to remove if desired, I do use them with a couple of remappings (view and left bumper in my case). IMO, the new white elite 2 controller could have at least been a consideration if it had the + dpad and the paddles. Software/Other: I use the controller on PC coupled with the wireless adapter (got mine from Noel Leeming) The XBox accessories app works as expected and allows me to setup the profiles. You can remap all functionality on the controller, but only to existing actions the controller supports. SO... - No keyboard mappings - Doesn't allow a mapping for the "Share" button found on newer xbox controllers.

    I would only recommend this if you purchase it open box. Otherwise for the price id get two controllers and charging ports.

    Heavier than the plastic controllers makes for a more comfortable grip. I was originally uncertain on the paddles (20 years of muscle memory with buttons), but actually makes for more enjoyable game play in first-person shooters. Highly recommend even for the “older” gamers.

    Absolutely amazing remote the only reason didn't get 5 stars because the price is so ridiculously high. Thankfully Best buy price matched this so it was affordable, I love the remote!

    So far this controller is pretty solid. I did have the series one version of this and the rubber grips peeled off after a while. The ones on here seem a bit more solid though. I do like how you can adjust tension on joysticks. Happy to not have to change batteries either.
