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.

    Best Controller for Xbox to out frag the enemy!

    The short travel of the triggers is great for FPS. If you take the time to map the buttons, adjust the sensitivity of the thumb sticks, adjust in game sensitivity to match, and then practice, this controller works wonders. If just buying it to use as a controller and never diving into the settings, you're better off saving your money and getting a regular controller. Spend the time with the controller settings on the Xbox and in game settings and you will enjoy using the Elite 2 Controller and never go back. That is the reason the settings are there!!! If you need a starting point, look up what others are doing for a particular game, start there and tweak to your liking,

    I love my elite controller and wouldn’t go back to regular one, but if you’re a heavy player I’d suggest getting warranty. The actual controller bumpers tend to break fairly quickly and I hope they build something more durable in the next gen. Also wished they add more colors/customization.

    Great controller. It is well worth the price. I did get a controller out of the box with a lazy button and Best Buy exchanged it right away. Very grateful for this purchase!

    A bit high in the price for a xbox controller, my last elite controller lasted about 2 years, which isnt great for the price. Hopefully this controller lasts longer.

    Love it. Lame it doesn’t come with all the bumpers for the extra buttons. That “kit” is another $50 or junky stuff on amazon

    So far a great buy. Only difference between this and regular elite is it doesn’t include paddles but I’m not a fan of so it’s okay, plus you can buy separately.
