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.

    So far it's been fairly decent for it's price. however there has been a few issues with "A" and "Y" buttons not responding properly, I may have gotten a defective.. But otherwise it's been great with the amount of customization right out of the box.

    This is my third elite controller. I had one for my pc and xbox but i love it so much that i bought a second rather than going back and forth. Then I bought one for my son because he kept taking mine. These controllers are solid and well crafted.

    The Elite controller makes gaming so much better. The buttons aren't loud, and don't feel so blocky like the basic controllers that come with the XB1X systems.

    I honestly recommend it only if you already bought the other elite series controller that has every accessory already included buying it by itself would be a waste but for me already having all the other accessories this was a really good purchase

    This was my favorite controller for years until I needed a replacement recently. They obviously changed their manufacturing because I exchanged it 6 different times and every single time each controller had the exact same issue. The left thumbstick is completely chalked. Can’t even move it in a circle smoothly, it gets stuck and sometimes it doesn’t even detect movement at all. Again, 6 different controllers from two different locations had this exact same issue. It’s like they know they are pushing out broken controllers but just don’t care lol
