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.

    Love this controller. The back paddles comes in handle for subbing as the AXYB buttons. Everything is magnetic so you can change the layout of the controller as well. Comes with charging case which is perfect

    I was very disappointed with this product after loving my original Elite controllers. It got stick drift within the first few months of owning it. Microsoft did repair it, but it took almost 6 months to receive back. Now the B button is jamming. I highly recommend getting the protection plan.

    Confusing name - not the "premium" version.

    This one was a bit of a letdown. I upgraded from the original Elite controller because that one requires a USB dongle to connect to my machine and was hoping for the same experience. This one feels cheaper, has some weird issues with connectivity, and overall disappoints in the aesthetics department. Otherwise, it's a decent controller and I'd recommend these over third-party brands any day.
