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.

    Husband loves it. Replaced one that went bad and will replace with another when this one goes bad.

    Stick Drift Quality Control Nightmare

    Exchanged for a total of 3 times, first one the select button intermittently worked, other 2 had stick drift right out of the box and 2 days into using it...finally exchanged the 4th time for a black elite (the more expensive one) and now this one has stick drift after 4 days of usage...i cannot understand WHY Xbox has such poor quality control and products for as much as they cost! Absolutely ridiculous. Other than these issues the controllers feel great, have a good weight to them, and are very user friendly...but i cannot overlook the blatant issues!

    I like the interchangeable D-Pad and removable triggers, It took a while to get use to setting up the different profiles and programming them but over all I like it.

    Picked this up on sale, it works exactly as advertised and does well as a replacement for my older controller that had stopped working.

    Great controller with many customizable options when you have the pack form the last version. Amazing weight feel and good size for those with bigger hands, no problem with connection on PC and registers fast with no notable input lag.

    Yeah, it's a little pricey but worth it. You get to customize the button layout and assign 4 paddles for the XYAB. If you have another Elite controller, the parts can be swapped out.

    I’ve had these controllers a lot over the years. I love the textured thumb sticks and textured grips around the controller. One of the best controller on the market for Microsoft. Highly recommend this controller

    This is my first review with this controller after owning each elite controller since launch. They are amazing controllers for the most part, however, the build quality is lacking. You might run into toggle or top bumper problems the most (like in my case). Each time I've had to replace this controller, it's either the joystick toggle, or the top bumpers. So the build quality doesn't justify the price tag at all. The battery life and grip and the back bumpers make this controller worth it for more seasoned players. I would at least always recommend the protection plan... it's worth it for the extra $65 or so.

    This controller is a fantastic upgrade for gaming enthusiasts. I especially appreciate the extensive customization options, allowing me to tailor it perfectly to my preferred gaming style. The addition of paddles significantly enhances gameplay, especially for fast-paced shooters and action titles. The battery life is impressive, ensuring long hours of uninterrupted gaming without the need for frequent charging. If you're looking for a controller that offers both comfort and performance, I highly recommend this one
