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.

    These controllers are expensive. I purchased 2 for Mortal Kombat thinking they would give me an advantage. After much use me and my friends decided aginst these and just went back to the regular controllers.

    Worthless after 2 months

    This broke after only two months. The right joystick, which I never use, spins freely when centered, and gets stuck when I move it up. Microsoft warranty is worthless as it costs $49 for shipping and parts. It lists specific parts but I don't even know if that will fix it. This is the most I have paid for a controller and have been very careful with it. My old, generic XBox controller lasted for years.

    This was a great replacement for my broken controller. There have been no issues so far and it works how its supposed to. I use it for use on the computer and would recommend if someone needs a good controller.

    Good controller, buy the warranty just in case but the new manufacturing process seems to have fixed a lot of the issues.

    I had bought the elite 2 when the Xbox series X was released as I play Microsoft flight sim on my Xbox (when I can and it’s not crashing to the desktop). The battery died so I had to get a replacement. I’ve had to this controller and I like it better then the black elite series 2. It’s cheaper for go for it. Nothing beats the Skuf controllers.

    I have used the controller several times now, but the weight is something I have to get used to. There is a bit of learning curve with the extra paddles on the back. The price was excellent, but to be fair, I did get it as an open box item.

    Nice product. Feels really solid. Battery life is really good. However it is just a controller like the rest of them. If tou are not intending on using paddles than buyin a reular controller at more than half the cost makes more sense.
