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.

    Great controller with precise handling and comfortable grip. I bought it to replace an older Elite controller, so I already had the compatible additional components. It was very easy to attach the additional peripherals from my older Elite controller since this is the same - just without the components included. My older controller lasted for about 3 years with heavy use, so I'm expecting this one to be pretty durable as well. Whether you need a regular, just sturdier Xbox controller of if you want to replace an older Elite controller, then this is just right. Plus, you have the option to buy the additional components/peripherals later.

    I can't go back to using another controller. The trigger locks and rubber grips make a big difference.

    This is my third elite controller, and it works well. It feels good to use and does what it's meant to do. I docked it by one star because my past two have had the shoulder buttons fail, which seems to be a recurring problem for these controllers. I have yet to see if this issue has been addressed by Microsoft or if the same problem is still present.

    Rip-off at MSRP, acceptable at a discount

    Really just a standard controller with glorified paddles. In fact, there's even a reduction of some features on this version on the controller. No share button and cheap shallow plastic clicky buttons for example. I've even had to send my Black Elite Series 2 in for repairs twice. Faulty bumper, faulty paddle. For the money, you could get an infinitely nicer controller from another brand. I'd feel comfortable paying about $80 for one of these, considering the warranty and features. Anything more and you're better off buying something else.

    This controller is a game changer.. Quite literally. Ok so facts, it is expensive. But if you like to game and want a quality controller, it pays for itself the first time you play with it. The buttons are fully mappable through the desktop app and you can add up to 4 paddles on the backside of the controller which makes a HUGE difference. For example, On COD, I've got 2 of the rear paddles mapped to jump and slide. After a few games, it becomes so intuitive to use the paddles vs the front buttons. You can map two additional controller button settings via a button below the xbox button and they can be changed on the fly. The controller has a built in rechargeable battery which lasts for days.. The charging brick is conductive and can either be removed from the carrying case, or left there, with the type C usb plugging into it through an access hole in the back of the case. When it's time to charge your controller, simply place it in the case on th echarger and you're good to go. The controller comes with a set of 4 paddles for the back, an additional D pad, and a few extra thumbsticks of different texture and height.. Treat yourself and buy this controller, you wont be dissapointed.

    The feel and battery life of this controller are fantastic. I have to charge it about every other month. Just hate that to avoid disposable batteries, this or buying a rechargeable battery pack in 2024 is the way to do so. Other than that, I don’t regret this product at all.
