    Good quality, good battery life (for my use), but should cost a little less considering all the accessories it doesn’t have. However, I got this a replacement for the more expensive one and all the extra buttons and paddles work seamlessly on both

    This has been the best controller i have ever purchased. I have two not because the other broke but coz i needed one more for my kid also. The controller is very solid. My first one is 4 years old and still workin without any issues. I know my kid will enjoy his own controller too.

    I bought the controller since my old series 2 was broken so i bought this one and it is definitely worth it. Besides the color not being the same there isnt much of a difference controller wise.

    Love this controller. I had one previously but lost it so I went back to basic controllers for a while but had to purchase another Elite controller. Almost a must have in my opinion for any xbox/pc gamers who enjoy handheld.

    This "Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core" wireless controller is the best I got in my hands so far. Absolutely smooth and precise handling. You can adjust pretty much anything you want to optimize your gameplay. The two triggers can also mechanically be adjusted to your needs. Outstanding quality!

    A little pricey but if you have the money and love gaming, this controller is definitely worth it. Every single button is customizable and so is the brightness/color of the xbox logo. Magnetic swappable switches and joysticks are awesome, as is the weight and feel of the controller.

    This controller serves me well for gaming sessions. I’ve never had any issues with battery life, and the hand feel is second to none. My only complaint is that paddles and other thumb sticks are sold separately, but other than that this controller hits above its price point.

    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.

    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.

    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.
