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.

    The controller is great but right sticky started drifting less than a year I bought it. Glad Microsoft has a warranty on this though.

    This is worth every single penny. Not only does it feel great, but it really does help you game better. You make this controller feel the way you want it to feel. Ignore the hate and those that have zero idea.

    This controller is a vast improvement over the original. The paddles feel better and being able to adjust stick tension is a nice improvement. Textured triggers are better as well. Hopefully no build quality issues like the first one.
