Customers are saying

Customers regard the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller highly for its overall performance, battery life, and customization options, with many appreciating its comfortable grip and feel. However, some customers have reported issues with stick drift and button quality. While the controller's weight and paddles are generally well-received, the price point and bumper durability are potential drawbacks for some users.

    Good weight on the elite controller, very responsive. Nice grip on the back as well. Stick drift is still a issue which is u fortunate with a higher tier controller. Spring for the warranty if you can to save you down the line. Doesn't come with the paddles which I thought was strange.

    It’s a great controller but the QC could use a lot of work. I got the Geek Squad protection this time to protect myself.

    The Xbox controller is a standout performer with exceptional battery life. It comfortably lasts through extended gaming sessions without frequent recharging. The ergonomic design offers a comfortable grip, and responsive buttons enhance gameplay. It's a top choice for console gamers looking for a reliable and long-lasting controller.

    Would highly recommend. The clickiness of the back paddles is very satisfying and the ability to change your controller on the fly is very useful.

    For what u paid for (used) it’s great! Unfortunately I was expecting to come in its original box but didn’t, which it’s still ok. It came with everything, the controller was spotless and scratch less too! But, as I expected for a used item, the left trigger had some registering problems on its lowest setting, besides that the rest of the controller works perfectly.

    Definitely wish there were more settings for the joystick tensioner but overall it's a great controller. The grips are nice and the feel is very premium.

    This controller is the absolute worst controller i have ever had because once you get it, it becomes the only control you'll ever want to use. The pnly way i can know something is wrong with this controller is if someone make a better one.

    Great product, however give 4 stars for two reasons. One being that the A button does not register if your clicking towards the bottom of it i find myself in game having to click the button mulit times to get to work and as you know in COD every milisecond counts epsecially with cheaters so ima actually change my 4 star to a 3 as it is so aggrating if it wasnt for how well everything else on it felt id already sent it back...will be sending it back reguarless to see if this problem can be fixed im not paying for defaultly equipment. Another issue i have is the program for controlling mapping for the elite. I dont need 3 profiles at once to have to click between if i just need two i should be able to turn off the defualt and any of the other three customizedable profiles i hate being in a game having to switch deafult and 3 profiles to get to what i need if my game only requires two profiles..like one for walking in an open world then another for fighting...
