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 like the paddles but it took me time to get used to them. The controller has been disconnecting at random times every few days not sure if something is interfering with the signal. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.

    Personally, I think this is way better than the first elite controller. Feels so much more quicker, smoother and more grippy for intense moments for FPS games.

    This controller gave an undoubtably edge and was a fantastic upgrade from the old elite controller. The RB and LB on the original popped out on me and a few friends. Haven’t had any concern with that with the new one. Love the rechargeable battery and the charge stand in the case.

    Great product but when you buy a used item they do have drift and the store can’t fix it beside replace the controllers, over and over until maybe you get a controller with a little or just a tad bit where it is unnoticeable drift on the controller

    Not sure why but every “A” button on these controllers stick. Overall it’s very quality, but the “A” button is annoying. Had mine for some time and it gets a lot of use, but it still continues to stick every so often.

    Expensive. And was hesitant to purchase but after opening you can see where it pays off. Once you configure it you will never use a regular Xbox controller again. Took some time to setup and adjust and map the buttons but when you do it’s a natural reflex.

    It's lighter than the original elite 2 controller. Only thing is you have to buy the paddles for the back controls separately. Other than that it is an awesome addition to my collection.
