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.

    Controller highlights durability and features for extensive gaming but breaks after 3-4 months. Shoulder buttons get busted and my A button was already almost busted right out of the box. Microsoft wants you to send in the controller for a repair while you pay $100 service fee plus shipping costs. Xbox support knows about this issue and is doing absolutely nothing for the countless amounts of customers that spent a large amount of money for a product that doesn’t even last longer than a standard issue model. There’s countless amounts of people that have similar if not more severe issues that all have to swap parts daily, can’t find replacement parts, or are still waiting for Xbox to send them a working model. Don’t waste your time or money.

    My husband loves this controller so much. I think I catch our son using it as well. The buttons are better than the generic controllers the Xbox comes with.

    Dpad is weirdly strange when using the down direction. Overall the controller is well worth the upgrade over stock xbox controllers.
