    Currently l been using this for one month and then had to use to play such as Call of Duty, Roblox, and some other because you can change the thumb sticks and also the D-Pad l think? Currently, nothing change and also I got a feeling that there will be a issue or an drift stick in a few months if l play too much like Competitive matches such as R6, Call of Duty, Overwatch, etc.

    I own the Series 1 and it’s nice but this one is great! It’s super comfortable and smooth. Love the internal battery and the fact that you can charge it while it’s in the case.

    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.

    Greatest Controller Ever

    This controller provides me the edge I need to decimate the 12 year old punks that like to hurl the n word at me with reckless abandon. I used to have nothing to say because of how badly these young assassins would kill me, but now thanks to this controller I can talk back to them with Yo Momma jokes and about how promiscuous their mother's and sister's are. Now I feel like a big man when I play video games because now I can win on the field of battle and in the trash talking game and send those prepubescent punks crying back to mama and it is all thanks to this controller.

    Love the controller. Got a second one because I didn't buy an extended warranty on my first. I highly recommend putting the 2 year service on it. I used mine daily and it started to break down after about 8 months. By 12 months (about 8 days past warranty) the left stick got all kinds of wonky. Anywho, i had everything I needed from the previous controller. so I bought this one with 2 year service and saved a bunch of $$$.

    I have been meaning to get this for a while, and was able to get it on sale, and I’m glad that I did. This is a nice upgrade from the original controller, and I would certainly have gotten this sooner!

    This controller functionally is great! However; this is my third iteration as the left and right bumpers wear out over time and even though they click, the input is not detected by the game. I primarily play Rocket League and use those bumpers frequently.

    got plenty of use of mine and enjoyed it greatly but like the series 1 before it the price increase does not come with durability increases. will the grip issue of the series 1 seems to be 99% fixed i was/ am seeing minor expansion after this year that could become problematic if other parts like the bumpers and sticks retained their life better. *when i mention durability ive never once thrown or otherwise put nonstandard ware and tear abuse on the controller but it seems that since even the 360 era microsofts controllers just aren't made to last daily use of 5+ hours for a full year

    By far worth the investment especially if you like to play FPS and Battle Royals. Favorites features are the trigger stoppers and paddles also has a nice weight to it that isn't too heavy.

    Controller is very comfortable. When playing the controller somehow would select As i pressed the Y button and changing the screen view. I have been playing this same game for years with "regular" MS controller no problems. Configured the button not to be used. This was a mistake when it changed my view i could not change it back! Although very comfortable and seemingly well built will be returning the controller. Thank you for the Best buy total membership for extended returns. Very over priced for what you get. At least in my opinion.
