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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Really works great, much easier to play with then the old controllers , but is on the expensive side. The down side is if you need a controller for your friend to play duels their stuck using the old ones. And having to keep both new and old around just Clutters the place up

    The time finally came to replace my series one elite. The improvements over the series one justify the increased price, especially the adjustable tension thumb sticks. Worth every penny. I’m confident I’ll get a few years out of this like I did with my series one.

    Best controller on the market!

    By far the best controller on the market for any system! Hands down 1,000x better than standard Xbox controller and blows away the PS5 controller too. Thumbsticks have a perfect balance of smooth and tight. Buttons have a very satisfying n mechanical click. The variable triggers make it so easy to switch between a short travel for shooters and a long travel for racing or throttle based games

    Great controller for any Xbox gamer. I have the protection plan on this, which I would highly recommend! I've already replaced 2 previous controllers, not because of the quality of it, just because of how much it gets used (and probably dropped).

    This is truly a “game” changer for sure. You can customize it to your liking. The paddles make it more functional.

    Great controller if you want paddles. However, it doesnt come with the case or the exta paddles. This is great if you have paddles already and just want a pro controller.
