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.

    Controller feels nice, has a nice quality feel to it. Only issue is the sides of the controller have been lifting and the RB button works about 40% if the time. Awesome controller, 5 starts if I wasn’t experiencing those issues.

    These controllers are the most comfortable options available. The rear buttons are placed perfectly and the battery lasts forever. I've unfortunately had to return/exchange a couple due to stick drift. If they could figure that out, it would be the perfect controller.

    I recently had the privilege of upgrading to the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, and I can confidently say that it has completely transformed my gaming experience. This controller is a true masterpiece in every sense, and here's why I'm giving it a well-deserved 5-star review. The moment you pick up the Elite Series 2, you can feel the premium craftsmanship. It's sturdy, ergonomic, and feels great in your hands. The materials used are top-notch, and it's evident that Microsoft paid meticulous attention to detail. The ability to customize this controller to suit your gaming style is unparalleled. With adjustable thumbstick tension, swappable thumbsticks and D-pads, and programmable paddles on the back, you can fine-tune it to perfection. It's like having a controller tailored just for you. The Elite Series 2's performance is flawless. The responsiveness of the thumbsticks and the hair-trigger locks for faster shooting in FPS games give you a competitive edge. I've never experienced any input lag, and the controller's accuracy is on point. The battery life is impressive. A single charge lasts for many gaming sessions, and the included charging dock is convenient and ensures you're always ready for action. The companion app for the Elite Series 2 is a game-changer. It allows you to create and save multiple profiles, making it easy to switch between games with different control preferences. It's user-friendly and adds another layer of customization. Despite the hours of intense gaming, my Elite Series 2 still looks and functions like new. It's clear that Microsoft designed this controller to withstand the rigors of serious gaming. The controller connects seamlessly to my Xbox console, and the Bluetooth compatibility with Windows PCs makes it versatile. No fuss, just plug and play. In conclusion, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is an investment worth every penny for serious gamers. It's a game-changer in terms of customization, performance, and build quality. Whether you're into competitive eSports or just casual gaming, this controller will elevate your experience to a whole new level. It's not just a controller; it's a gaming masterpiece!

    I had to buy this as a replacement for the regular Elite Series 2 controller. Unfortunately, that controller grips started to peel. As a stand alone product, I'd say this is a great controller, even though it's $130 with the additional $50 that the parts/add-on bundle will cost. It's a very responsive controller and, knock on wood, has stayed in pristine condition during the couple months I've had it. Like its sister controller, the customization available makes for enhanced gameplay and just adds that small fraction of time needed sometimes in FPS and RPG's.
