    Review Title: Smooth, Premium Controller—But Price

    Product: Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller (Blue) This controller feels amazing in the hands. Super smooth controls, responsive buttons, and a premium build quality that elevates any gaming session. Whether I’m playing on Xbox or PC, it’s incredibly reliable and satisfying to use. The only real downside is the price—it’s definitely on the expensive side. But if you’re looking for a high-quality, long-lasting controller that gives you a pro-level feel, it’s well worth the investment. Highly recommended.

    I have for a long time been very displeased with XBOX controller that were manufactured by Microsoft. You ended up paying a premium price for a product that was anything but. They would malfunction after a marginal amount of time, and even physically break with little wear and tear. The Elite 2 is proving to be a step in the right direction. The premium build quality and vast amount of customizable features make for a very well made, and well conceived controller. USB-C or wireless charging by way of a docking station that is provided are great additions to improve the value. The down side is really the idea that it takes over $150 of a price tag for Microsoft o provide a quality controller option. But at least it's a pretty good one.

    Love the way this thing feels in my hands. I don't use the extra buttons so it's nice how you can remove them. The thumbsticks feel nice too and you can swap them out for different ones.

    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!

    This controller is worth it if you play FPS games. I love the fact the paddles help with not taking my thumbs off the controller. I will say if you do play a lot the quality built is around 3.5 to 4 stars. The longevity of this controller I feel is an open debate because I had to use my geek squad replacement plan a couple of times within a 4 year span. I do play about 10-20 hours a week. I don't know if anyone else has issues with sticky buttons (right/left bumper) or drifting joy sticks. I had both.

    For the price, I would get it on sale. I have the core model which does not come with the paddles. The quality of this controller is very premium. The side handles are very grippy. The bumpers and triggers are could be better. There are a little on the soft side. The thumbsticks are very grippy and swappable with other colors. The D-pad is the best. It is made of aluminum and feels so good. I would get another one when the time comes.

    Generally I like it but I found the adjustable trigger on the two shorter settings can sometimes be unreliable. I've had many times I pulled the zoom trigger in Call of Duty and it started to zoom then didnt, leading to lost kills. Not sure if thats a general problem or just my unit. I got this on a good sale, otherwise its too expensive.

    My son loves this controller! He was very excited to get this on Christmas! And he hasn’t broken it yet like he did his last one from constantly dropping it. He actually takes care of this one because he can tell the difference in the quality

    Nice upgrade to the original controller. the paddles are great and they are def missed when i have to use the original ones. build quality is great and although a bit expensive it's worth it. No drift of the sticks ... yet.
