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.

    Would definitely recommend buying this controller even if you are not a fan of the paddles. Once you get used to them you will never forget back to a normal controller.

      Hey Steve,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the functionality of the back paddles, and we agree that it's difficult to go back to a standard controller once you've gone Elite. We hope you win a lot of matches with it.

      Happy gaming,

    Lots of good feature but couldn’t get past the size of it, too small. That being said, it had a lot of attachments that made customizing it easy. All in all would recommend if you are okay with the size

    I always like elite controller too. It has its faults if you press down too much on leftstick stick drift after 3 months of hard gaming only. When I say hard gaming no Job I always buy the two-year warranty because I use it every three months. I wish they would make the sticks out of titanium or something.

    For the most part, feels like a normal controller. It would be nice if the cradle in the case could hold a charge to charge it on the go.
