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.

    After buying this controller I was immediately able to go pro. No, you can’t have my twitch info. See you at the Halo Infinite 2022 championship, I’ll be the only guy playing on an Xbox.

    Elite Series Core controller

    The Elite Series Core controller is exactly like the Elite Series 2 controller but it doesn’t come with the removable paddles, thumb sticks, dpad, case and charger base. If you’re fine with charging your controller on a wall outlet and don’t need any of the accessories that come with the Elite 2 controller or you’re replacing a broken Elite 2 controller, the Core controller is for you.

    Elite controller for the clueless shopper

    I only got this model because I needed a replacement and my store was out of the "pro" version. When they say "core," they mean what you see pictured is what you get. The biggest draw to the elite controller is the customizable parts and additional mappable paddle buttons. None of that comes with this.

    Elite Wireless Controller is an excellent addition to any gamer's arsenal. It allows freedom of movement while playing and is very user friendly. Multiple additional functions add to the advantages in competition with friends or otherwise.

    I upgraded from the series 1 elite controller and couldn't be happier. The only thing I would warn about is the grip with it being on the front side to if you tend to have sweaty hands it could make them sweat easier because of the grip.

    One of the bumpers clicks twice, so that has caused some issues. Seems like Microsoft dropped the ball with the recent batches of elite v2

    No other controller compares to the versatility of this controller. If you want true gaming at an elite level, this is the one. Don't worry about the price, the experience pays for itself.
