    I got this for my 10 year old son so he could play his pc games. Haven’t heard a complaint so far which means it has passed the test!

    Great controller but I should not wear it out after a year of use. Even playing 15 hours a week should not cause this to wear out after a year or so. That’s my only compliant.

    After buying this controller I was immediately able to go pro. No, you can’t have my twitch info. See you at the Halo Infinite 2022 championship, I’ll be the only guy playing on an Xbox.

    Elite Wireless Controller is an excellent addition to any gamer's arsenal. It allows freedom of movement while playing and is very user friendly. Multiple additional functions add to the advantages in competition with friends or otherwise.

    Same controller as the regular elite 2, just newer. And hopefully they fixed the bumper issue with these. Otherwise, very happy.

    It allows you to remap the front buttons to the paddles in the back, which suits my playing style.

    I upgraded from the series 1 elite controller and couldn't be happier. The only thing I would warn about is the grip with it being on the front side to if you tend to have sweaty hands it could make them sweat easier because of the grip.

    Elite Series Core controller

    The Elite Series Core controller is exactly like the Elite Series 2 controller but it doesn’t come with the removable paddles, thumb sticks, dpad, case and charger base. If you’re fine with charging your controller on a wall outlet and don’t need any of the accessories that come with the Elite 2 controller or you’re replacing a broken Elite 2 controller, the Core controller is for you.
