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 really like the controller. Makes you a better player because you can change up what buttons do what. Dislike is its a little heavy.

    I really like the tension control adjustment. My old controller had button issues and the core was a great replacement and I just use my on hand parts.

    Purchased at the end of July '21. In the beginning of Nov '21 the right bumper and the A button both started going out. The buttons work sometimes, but do not always work when pressed. I have taken great care of this controller and have had controllers for years without any buttons going out. Best Buy won't let me swap it out for a new one because the purchase was made too long ago. It is under a 1 year warranty with Microsoft, but to fulfil this warranty I will have to send the controller off and let them perform some tests on it (who knows how long this will take during which I will have no controller). Then if they determine something is wrong with it they will send me a REFURBISHED controller. I spent $200 on this, used it for only 3 months, it crapped out, and now the best I am being offered is a refurbished replacement.. Stay away.

    Having the paddles is very convenient for any shooter game. The controller definitely has a premium feel to it, but my left thumbstick was faulty and I had to return it.

    This controller looks and feels great. Also it responds very well. I love that you can adjust the joy sticks and that it has an push button customization setting. All and all The Xbox Elite Controller 2 is way better than the first Elite Controller. GREAT JOB!!!

    I had ordered this as an open box to save some money and was really suprised by how good it truly was. It was as if the previous owner only used this for about a week before they returned it. I will definitely be buying open box products in the future.

    I'm still getting used to having the paddles on the back, I was hitting them by mistake. So I took the 2 big ones off and only use the 2 smalls in the top slots. What I like most is the versatility and options. It's solid and the battery lasts so far.

    Definitely like that it has color. Needs better grip for big hands and maybe some more button for extra customization/Personel. Over all it’s good though.
