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.

    Great product, quality feel and brings a better gaming experience to the Xbox platform. Purchase this as a gift and can tell you the person who has used it for the last month won’t touch a regular Xbox One controller now lol. This controller has allowed for them to make the needed adjustments to in game play as well as being able to charge the controller (no more battery replacements) and this means no longer using third battery chargers, battery packs and worrying about why they only have 3 - 6 month warranties. This product is genuine Microsoft and is the quality you would expect.

    Nice solid controller like msot of the elite series has been. Gotta be super careful never to get a drop of water on it or itll be done for. The texture on the grip isnt my favorite in the least. Used this for a couple years, but glad i got the Envsion Pro for my PC.

    If you want to elevate your gameplay get this controller. It’s sturdy, holds a long charge, and the paddles are game changing.

    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.

    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!

    In my opinion was one of the best controllers I've used. High build quality for sure. Again my opinion. I've bought quite a lot from Best Buy and they have never let me down.

    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.

    Good controller not as good as the black edition.

    For an elite controller, I have to say it was not sturdy like the previous ones I have purchased. This one felt a bit off due to the thumb knobs feeling rebuilt rather than brand new, which is what I paid for. I previously purchased two black edition elite controllers, and they were built with much stiffer controls and no free traveling effect on the thumbstick, which is why I feel this way. Maybe I just got a bad one. could also be why this red one is less expensive than the all-black one.

    While I love how clean this looks in the white color, I love the feel of this second generation. I didn’t necessarily need the paddles in the back and I already had a charging solution so I didn’t mind just getting the core version.
