True gamer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the self charging option. I was due for an upgrade and this is a beast. Love the heavier feel and crisp controls compared to old elite and especially the standard controller.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an elite controller before this but it broke so I got this and swapped over my paddles. Everything with the old controller is compatible with the new one. Only difference i noticed was it was a bit lighter which was great because the older one was very heavy compared to a typical controller. Still had a great feel to it though and felt like quality.

Great Quality for Serious Gamers
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honesty debated for months over this purchase. Finally made it and don’t regret it. The quality is clear and the weight and paddles take time to get used to but it’s more than worth it.

Highly recommend!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing controller, i made the switch from a regular xbox controller to this one and i an not disappointed. The quality is so nice and love that it's so customizable. Does take some getting used to the petals on the back but once you do, game changer! Force yourself to play with the petals and youll grt used to them in no time.

Solid controller, weirdness with the warranty…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had bought a refurbished series 2 originally, geek squad refurbished. It was $99 dollars, and I bought the 2 year warranty. When I went to exchange it after mine had gotten pretty run down, I was told I would need to pay $100+ to get another. They tried to up sell me a brand new one, which I did not appreciate, nor did I see anything about that when I bought it. They ended up getting me an open box one so I only had to pay like $20, but they should really be more open about the warranties. They said they “didn’t have any” geek squad refurbished ones, even though that’s the store I bought the original from. If you offer a warranty on a product, then you should be able to replace the product if you have a warranty, no more, no less than the original. It’s a great controller, probably best on the market but there have always been stuck drift and button issues over time. Most button issues can be fixed by popping it open and hitting them with some rubbing alcohol, but the stick drift is tough. Best way to avoid getting it in the first place, is DO NOT use the sticks on the tightest setting. Keep them loose, and it will last way longer.

A little pricey, but doesn't get any better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I knew I needed a rechargeable, wireless controller for upcoming Xbox games I wanted to play, but I was skeptical of the value with a $129 controller... however, I finally bit the bullet and dove in, and I am glad I did. This is an excellent, responsive controller, and it doesn't get much better than this. I love the style, feel and ability to configure it, and it feels natural and light when playing for extended sessions.

Great controller with one issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best controller out there, but be sure to get a service plan. I've had a few Elites and all but one have had an issue where one of the bumpers stops responding. Other than that it's by far the best controller for PC and for Xbox, obviously.

Great quality that doesn’t hold up over time.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller has great quality although its durability tends to present stick drift after only a few months. I have tried other controllers such as the new turtle beach elite controller and this is far superior for the price, however, unless you are willing to return the controller after six months for a refurbished one or buy a kit to repair this yourself it will almost always get drift relatively soon. I had a series 1 and it was amazing after years of use. I have had 4 series two and the controllers always have issues with drift or the bumpers stop working correctly. These have been reduced in price recently without all of the extras, however, a regular controller will get the job done for half the price.

Greatness Unlocked
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome controller, I highly recommend for those who play on Xbox or PC. I had the original Elite Series 2 controller, but it broke so I used my Total Tech membership to get a replacement and decided to get the Core (Since I already had the case and buttons). Love the color tone of the core. It's important to note that this controller is great if you're replacing an older one or don't need the paddles. But the weight and grip make it worth it.

Really good controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good controller and comfortable grip. Only issue is that I didn't have the replacement parts that it came with like it sated on the box. but overall quite happy with it, plus really long battery life. I only had to charge maybe once or twice since I bought

Good premium feel
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good premium feeling controller with some good weight to it and the functionality of the adjustments you can make is nice. The only downside is that for this model the paddles in the back and the different sized thumb sticks are not included compared to the higher priced model that come with those accessories. I do love the color options that are available in this version.

Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical about paying so much for an Xbox controller, but so far, this one is proving to be superior to all of our previous buys. My Kiddos both say this controller has no drift and is much more comfortable to hold and navigate. Seems as though Microsoft could lower the price a bit, still IMO. But, for what it's worth, there really is a noticeable difference!

Great controller for the competitive gamer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love all the features of this controller, feels solid and of good quality. Some people complain about the weight but it makes it feel premium to me. I suggest get the the geek squad protection since I feel like no controller is safe from the eventual stick drift or a button messing up.

Nice weight and button feel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a great controller. Nice weight and the buttons feels more premium than the non elites. Only downside is the price. This is worth the investment if you game a lot on pc or Xbox. The buttons on the back are programmable but only with the inputs that are already on the controller. I could not find a way to map it with a macro or a specific key.
