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.

    Best Xbox controller by far. Series 2 is an improvement over Series 1 with shorter paddles that are more comfortable for people with big hands. Built-in rechargeable battery is a nice bonus

    I was worried about spending so much on a controller and not seeing any difference in gameplay, however the control has been nothing, but responsive and the battery life is awesome. Made my life playing Monster Hunter so much easier.

    The best controller on the market! I love everything from the very premium metal triggers, the rubber grips, and even down to the button presses. The controller offer an amazing feature called "shift key" which changes what the button functions can do. Using it to change my TV volume has been an absolute game changer! I can't recommend this controller enough to anybody who is looking to improve their gaming experience.

    Amazing controller, not one issue I’ve encountered from other reviews. Controller feels great, buttons are responsive and I love the versatility of changing the sticks and it’s tension! Would recommend for future buyers.

    This should be the perfect controller. Unfortunately, Microsoft really dropped the ball with overall quality on this generation. I’ve had to replace the controller under warranty twice already, and the latest replacement that I received will also be going back. Stick drift, sticky buttons, unresponsive buttons, shell separating, you name it. Cannot recommend this at all.
