Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    My Elite Series 1 started to drift heavily, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. Ordered one of these online from Best Buy's site as I couldn't find one near me. Waited for the controller to be shipped, and I got caught up on a lot of the issues surrounding these controllers. To date, I've had multiple Xbox One controllers along with three Elite controllers. I've had a lot of issues with stick drift with the XOne controllers. As for the Elite controllers, I sold my first one that had a loose left stick I was able to fix. The second one was faulty out of the box, and the third had stick drift. I received the Elite 2 on Friday. Tested the controller and played with it a bit. The A button was not registering and would occasionally stick. Returned it today (Saturday). Came home and tested it. Looked fine, but it wasn't a thorough test. Found out while I was playing Apex that the A button wouldn't register if I pressed it in quick succession. Returned that and got my third Elite 2. Came home and tested it -- A button is not working. There's a dead spot if I press the button from the left side. I didn't think I'd go through three controllers in one day, but it looks like I'll be returning this one in the morning and playing with one of my Xbox One controllers in the meantime. I had hoped to be one of the "many" who didn't experience the vast number of issues with these controllers, but I guess I'm one of the "few."

    This was a gift for my son and it was very well received at that. I'm told there are several improvements over an already great controller. Watch the youtube unpacking that a couple of people posted and see all that it includes. Good stuff. RECOMMENDED!

    The elite two is so much better then the first edition, i like the fact that rechargeable battery is already in the controller it self and that it has three different button mapping settings which you can change depending on what game you're playing

    Works great. This is my 3rd Elite. Wore the other 2 out. Like the black and white colors. All paddles and sticks from the 2nd controller fit this one fine.

    Fantastic series 2 core controller

    First off I’ve had a regular series 2 controller when it launched back in November 2019. It was the best off the best. I never used the paddles on the back and rarely used the case it came in. The right bumper button started to not register 3 years later. So i picked this core series 2 up and it has a smaller form factor like the new S/X controllers have and i live that. Slightly smaller than the regular series 2. It is identical to the other minus case, , paddles, and a few different thumb sticks which i really liked. You can get those other accessories later on if you want and save sum money.

    He is in love with this controller, so glad I got it for him. Now he never wants to use a regular controller again. I like how it comes with the hard charging case and that you can change out the buttons. Pricey but worth it in the long run.
