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 controller, awful build quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 3rd Elite series 2 controller. The first two had issues with the bumpers (one right after the one year warranty, the second one almost at 6months). The controller itself offers great utility but for whatever reason the bumpers fail to stand the test of time.

Must have controller for Xbox fans
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these controllers. Had the elite series 2 for like 4 years and it finally gave up. Getting the core after allowed me to use my spare parts from the elite series 2 to customize the elite core. It’s a more affordable option if you already have elite parts!

Meh
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality is nice and the controller has some weight to it. However, the buttons get stuck after very little time using it and it becomes very annoying. Yes, you can use the paddles as an alternative but sometimes there’s games you want to play regularly. 3 stars overall.

Solid
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller makes the regular ones seem really cheap. You won’t want to go back and if you don’t like the finger buttons under, you can remove them. It’s great to be able to charge it via USB-C and not have batteries / battery packs Hands down the best controller and can’t wait for PlayStation’s version soon either. Well worth it and if you’re thinking about getting it, just do it

Good controller bordering on great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Time will tell on the grips but it’s already way better than the 1rst version with the built in battery and included chargers and a good battery life. While not as precise as I like in the joysticks they are very good. Triggers are great with more adjustability than previous version. Overall I’d say much better deal than version one even though it cost more, if the grips don’t fall off that is, which they shouldn’t.

Severe drift right out of the box
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the controller as far as the way they made it and the way it feels in the hand. It has a nice premium weight to it that I appreciate. Having the four extra triggers are great I’ve had them for a few years on several controllers so I’m used to that by now but my serious problem is the drift. I’ve read a lot of nightmare reviews about people having a bad drift a few weeks after having it which made me not wanna buy it but I figured I would take a chance. I open the box paired the controller and started the new halo campaign up and instantly there was drift. And no matter what I did or what setting I put it on I cannot fix it I could slow it down a little bit but no matter what it would ruin my game every time . So the fact that I got drift from a brand new controller out of the box is absolutely unacceptable and I will be returning. It’s a shame.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. Great fit for my hands. I bought this to replace an older Elite (4 years old) that was having some issues. I signed up for Best Buy Total before I bought this one.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, I can say I really enjoy this controller. It fixed many of the minor issues with the elite 1. The controller itself is the size of the average Xbox one controller. The grips feel natural and don't get in my way. The paddels, even though I don't use them, seem like they would be comfortable for someone who uses them. The battery lasts an incredible amount of time before it needs a charge, which can be charged in the case with the attached usb-c cable. Overall, I am happy I bought the elite 2, which is worth the money.

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is amazing. Like most xbox controllers it will eventually have stick roaming but if you catch it onsale buying it once a year and a half or so it isnt bad if you are a daily user like me.
