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.

    Great controller. I've played with all consoles, and xbox is my favorite, and i had all the extra back buttons from a friend, so it was nice to pay the cheaper price

    Love the elite controllers. Would have liked for this to come with the accessory pack, but it’s still very good, if overpriced

    I love this elite controller. When I saw it, i knew i just had to get it. The color scheme is so dope and so much better than the black one. This controller come with so the extra paddles and stuff but you can go on Amazon and buy the whole set with the case, charging base and and the paddles/thumb sticks. If you want a different feel and look, i would definitely recommend

    The down directional button doesnt work properly. I will habe to send it in to be repaired. This isn't really Besy Buy's fault. It is Microsofts fault though. Where is the QA testing durijg manufacturing?!?

    Perfect controller. This is my second elite controller. I still have the first, I just wanted a spare. Feels solid. The only difference is that this does not come with the carrying case or the back paddles. I got back paddles elsewhere for $15.

    Best Controller Ever

    BEST CONTROLLER AVAILABLE! The lack of hall-effect joysticks is disappointing, but Gulikit holds the patent on using them in controllers. Near infinite customization, better bluetooth connection with Windows PCs, and good battery life. It got me to use my PC more, instead of relying on my Steam Deck or ROG Ally.

    Absolutely love using these controllers but the longevity of the sticks before stick drift kicks in is killing me. On my second controller, the first one both sticks had serious stick drift that I could not handle and my Right Bumper became useless and stopped working. My second one now after six months my right thumb stick is now having stick drift making it impossible to use. Its perfect until issues arise.

    It might be a bit hard to swallow the extra cost of this controller but it is well worth the price. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, shape, and weight of the controller especially if you have been using the standard controller for a long time. Love that you can customize the buttons and triggers to your liking as well as the config of the buttons. An extra bonus is the battery life (which I didn't expect).
