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.

    Elite is the proper name for this controller. The features make it very versatile. I would never buy a regular controller again.

    Same great feel of the black elite, and a nice discount if you already have the case and back bottoms.

    I honestly cannot explain how much better the elite series 2 is than a basic controller. From ergonomcis to battery life and customization its a homerun.

    The right bumper goes bad, this is my 3rd elite 2. I get a year out of them on average. At least now it's a bit less $ without all the triggers and sticks of which I have several sets of. Sending them to Microsoft for repair is a nightmare, and they send you someone else's they fixed. I'd rather save the time and aggravation and just buy a new one.

    The LB or RB button tends to break fast, the controller works great but that button breaks too often or becomes less responsive

    I think the controller and it's features are some of the best in the market. I use it on my PC and I only have 2 notes. 1. The connection issues are the only thing that made me debate on returning it. It will drop for little to no reason even when updated and right next to my PC. 2. The price is a tad high for a controller. I do understand it has fancy features but I payed over 250 with the warranty which I wasnt to thrilled about.

    The grips are part of the shell I guess? very comfortable and I don't think they'll be falling off like the v1 ones did. battery last for 40hrs and comes with a charging dock and USB C -cable
