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.

    elite controllers are some of the best on the market and this is a good compromise for price if you dont want to spend the extra money for others.

    Nice upgrade over my series 1. I bought the core because I still had all the accessories from my original. Everything matches and that’s the only difference between the 2. Love the new grips.

    This is my third of these controllers. My only complaint is that the other 2 still work great, except for the single zr button on each. To be fair though, they must have lasted hundreds of hours of gameplay each before breaking. These controllers do have a great quality feel though - much better than the basic controller my Xbox came with. Definitely worth the money!

    Best Xbox controller for competitive gaming. I will see it is better to get the insurance with this item because the buttons and joystick tends to wear out.

    This controller is amazing. Like most xbox controllers it will eventually have stick roaming but if you catch it onsale buying it once a year and a half or so it isnt bad if you are a daily user like me.

    Great controller overall. Comfortable in my hands and the additional buttons are a game changer. My last one was one of the white variants that doesn’t come with the accessories. That controller developed stick drift within a year when I’ve never had that problem with the all back controller. Maybe I got a defective item or maybe the white controllers use a different part. Anyway these usually last a couple years before I return them under warranty.
