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.

    Its such a nicely made controller I no longer use the regular ones. It does have a very small amount of stick drift over time but nothing like the old controllers. Highly recommend.

    I've been a Playstation/Xbox fanboy since the beginning! But wow, the Elite series 2 controller is a piece of art. This is the best controller feel I have ever got from any controller on any system ever, hands down. Well done Xbox!

    Amazing controller for your xbox or computer. Comes with a charging stand or you can directly plug into the controller. Paddles are removable and all the buttons can be remapped using the xbox or computer software.
