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.

    Love the feel of this controller, the rubbery grip is much better than any of the normal plastic controllers.

    Although it’s built like a tank and the quality is superb. The issue with stick drift continues. I don’t know why Microsoft can’t get this fixed. Anyways, the control feels amazing. I just wouldn’t recommend it for competitive gaming.

    This controller is a great step up from the previous version, but quality control issues have begun to plague the usability. The A button is not responsive, the RB button either doesn't respond or it double presses when you tap it. Trying to get a replacement with my replacement plan is a nightmare since its never in stock in store and customer service can't help me either.

    Holds up great, if taking care of. Best in my opinion for back paddles. I personally recommend the scuff paddles for this controler.
