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.

    This controller is amazing. Just simply allowing you to limit how much you have to lift your thumbs is a game changer

    I love it but small quacks here n there makes it not worth all that money. Especially when playing the joysticks can easily come off by the time you get them your opponent has already smoked you lol

    Been enjoying my Elite 2 controller. Love the weight behind it and the way the joy sticks and paddles feel. I also like being able to adjust the trigger distance when playing first person shooters.

    I've really been enjoying this controller. The rechargeable battery was something I'm glad this came with. I like the old 360 thumb sticks which this comes with an assortment of different ones. The D-pad pictured in the advertisement is nice for fighting games but you can switch that out too. The only real issue I've had is with the paddles on the bottom. You'll need to train your muscle memory to accept them. Overall, they are the better way to play. Do yourself a favor and disable the x y a b buttons in the menus on the XBox/PC. The controller is heavy compared to the standard ones. It's solid and the grip is awesome. You'll need to relinquish that death grip most people play with in order to get accustomed to the paddles. Another thing is that the paddles are great for reassigning buttons like the Thumbstick - To - Run assignment most Call of Duty games have. Sea of Thieves does this. Again it's relearning how to walk, run, and jump. When you finally get it, your K/D ratio will increase dramatically, ie you are no longer taking your thumbs off the movement sticks to hit buttons. Some of the more advanced features are not explained like cording several buttons together for special commands.

    It is a great controller for games I call of duty rainbow six Siege and a bunch of FPS titles as built-in trigger stops so it feels like mouse click triggers and you could customize the joysticks on the d-pad with bumpers at the back

    These open box elite controllers are used. People use them for months then bring them back. Look at the buttons and other rubber parts you can se how used they are . Best Buy is misleading. Open box controllers don’t leave the store and havnt been played with games . But a new 1 they are awesome.

    This controller is perfect for anyone who already has an elite series 2 controller and is looking to replace their old one. You can use the old attachments on this new one and and it feels literally the same. So far no issue and price is fair compared to the normal elite series 2 controller.

    Got this when I switched from PS to PC gaming. This controller is amazing. Extra buttons come handy when you play. I have a heavy thumb and keep pressing the analogue stick. This controller allows you to disable it and just use the paddles. For me this product was a game changer.

    I've been using the Elite controller since it's first iteration and they never disappoint. The only reason I needed a new one is because I made the mistake of letting my son use the other and he raged in Fortnite and slammed it on the desk.

    Better in most ways, but some trade offs…

    The elite series 2 is better in many ways than the Series 1, but does have some trade offs. You can read about the updates on the Msft website. So I just tell you what the negatives over the series one are. First the battery isn’t replaceable, so ones it’s capacity starts to go down, you’re out of luck. The other difference I’ve found is the textured grips are definitely not as sticky as the series one. Sure the texture looks and feels the same, this feels more like textured plastic than textured rubber. It’s more noticeable the longer you use it.
