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.

    Bought first release and got stuck drift horribly. But Microsoft sent me a new controller after some long phone calls and checking on updates. But my 2nd controller is working as intended.

    Quick, Responsiveness missing in previous models, honestly a premium controller, can't wait to see how the hall effect sticks handle 1,000 hrs of gameplay then I'll update my review.

    Had this controller less than a month and the left stick is drifting. Will be returning for another one since I got the warranty. Hopefully the new one will not have that issue or button sticking issues.
