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.

    The Elite series 2 is an amazing controller. The level of customizations you can have seem endless and it feels great in the hands! It is an expensive unit, but if you play xbox consoles even a moderate amount then this will improve your overall gaming experience.

    Pretty great controller. The adjustment in the joysticks is great and I've had zero problems with it unlike the previous generation elite controller. Also have found the controller to have zero stick walk unlike the cheaper Xbox controllers.

    Much better than the standard controller. I haven't used all the options it comes with but the overall feel of the controller is the best. When I play with the standard controller, you can definitely feel the difference.

    Nice feeling controller. Feels very sturdy. Comes with a charging dock and the ability to switch between Bluetooth for PC and then back to Xbox. Only gets 2 stars as the left bumper stopped working within about a week of purchase. Seems to be a common problem with this controller.
