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.

    I dropped my Elite 2 on my tile floor and it was FUBAR. So I hopped on my BB app and saw there was a nice Total Tech deal for this fella. It’s just the base controller (no accessories) but my old stuff from my jacked up Elite 2 snapped right on. I was gaming in minutes. If you F’d your Elite 2 controller you can get this to replace it at a discount!

    I am an xbox elite controller power user. I bought the gen 1 controller when it came out and then upgraded to gen 2. The latter was the worst controller in terms of durability. I upgraded to this one because I didn't need the accessories. So far so good. Just to be safe I bought the warranty. No regrets.

    I got an open box in good condition controller. The only thing missing was the directional pad that you can see on most pictures. Otherwise, perfect condition, all other parts and connected fast to my Xbox.
