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.

Expensive and became defective after day 1
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller looks and feels great. It worked great for one day, but the second day I had it, the left joystick started drifting. I tried changing the joystick attachment with no luck. After a week the Y button began to depress oddly which offered a slower than typical response. The battery life is excellent on the controller, but the issues I experienced within the first two weeks of owning the controller do not justify the premium price. Tried to exchange the product, but they are sold out. Will return if I can’t get an exchange and save myself 140 bucks by buying a cheap (but reliable) standard wireless controller.

I would recommend this to a friend Recommended for xbox and pc gamers
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely my favorite controller for the Xbox and PC. My only complaint is that it is my second one as the thumb sticks do end up having drift. The coated grips are great, in my opinion, and I like that the paddles underneath have been adjusted in length and are smaller than the original elite controller.

Well worth it

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a good deal just buy the one for 170 instead of this one for 120 same thing except more accessories
I would recommend this to a friend Great Xbox accessory
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took me years to finally buy this controller. I’m happy with it. I’d say this is worth it if you play FPS games (WZ, COD, etc.). Using the paddles gives you the ability to do things like reload or armor up or mark locations - without moving your thumbs from the buttons or joystick. The weight of the controller is legit too. It feels like good build quality. One of the things that this got rid of for like 2 weeks was controller drift. After a couple weeks, it came back but was less intense. All in all I’d say if you are thinking about this and play FPS games, do it!
