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.

    $200 for bootleg QC

    This is my second Elite 2 since its launch and this one also has different issues from the first I had to exchange for quality issues with the triggers. This one has an RB that sometimes doesnt register or registers two inputs instantly. As well as an X button that has become spongy over time, Which has never happened before on any controller Ive had, Its not cheeto or dorito ingress. And multiple attempts at compressed air has yielded no improvements, I can only chalk this up to manufacture defects. As to the one this replaced, It had an LT that would get stuck on 0% depression until "Broken" through with unnatural force. As if some component within was brushing against the trigger housing. $200 for a premium product with magnitudes worse QC than the standard issue controllers. And this is just a repeat of the Elite 1. Microsoft outdoing its premium product quality flops yet again. At least the rubberized grips dont slough off after a few months like the first one did.

    I love this controller. Soo good. I use the extra back buttons and tabs all the time. Makes gaming so much better now. Also the new d-pad should be standard now on new Xbox controllers it’s that good.

    Solid replacement for elite series 2 but i wouldn't buy without the add ons. Parts relative to the more expensive version seem plastic which means it will likely break earlier.

    This controller is what every gamer wants. Great design, programmable buttons, and great grips. Not to mention it’s rechargeable! If you can get past the price, this is an excellent controller. I use it for every game, but it really shines in competitive shooters because you can shorten the triggers and map certain actions to the paddles.
