Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    I had bought this controller when it first came out and decided to get a 2nd one for my 2nd xbox series x. It's definitely a major upgrade from the elite series 1 controller. The rubber grips are better and I love how I'm able to change the tension on the thumb sticks. The quality is excellent. The ease of use is excellent. Very easy to set up and update and map the buttons to your liking. My only con about this controller is that's it's a little more expensive than the original elite controller with only a couple of upgrades. I would definitely recommend this to any hardcore or pro player.

    Great sturdy controller that enhances me as a gamer and gives me the necessary edge to keep up with the PC gamers that can move faster than a console player. Love the battery life and features.

    Great controller, its about time they dropped the Elite series 3 though. I think this one is lagging behind (literally) when it comes to the amount of Hz it connects too. The higher the better. Almost got a different one until i found it it had no rumble to the controller. I need to feel the game! Extremely comfortable and easy to use. Buy!!!

    Right out of the box the quality of the controller is amazing, the weight from the metal and the grip they used felt amazing. All around it’s the best bang for your buck controller. The only reason I gave one less star is that I bought the controller assuming it came with paddles but it didn’t and that’s my fault obviously it caused me to go on amazon and buy and wait for the paddles to come.

    Controller feels comfy in your hand more so than v1. Customize it your away . It feels smaller and I love the built I charger post as well. I would have felt more warm and fuzzy if price was a bit less.

    I bought it when it has sell. I’m very happy with it, premium built. Feel comfort holding in my hand, easily to reach out all the buttons. Doesn’t make my hand sweet for long time gaming. It would be perfect if it comes with the paddles

    This Elite Series 2 Core controller delivers a fantastic gaming experience. The textured rubber grips feel great in hand, the buttons and sticks are responsive, and the battery life is impressive. Setup on Xbox and PC was seamless. The only caveat is the price — but if you’re serious about your gaming, this controller is a worthy investment. Highly recommend.

    What can I say this controller is the GOAT of controllers, never had any stick drift issues, the battery last weeks if not months no issue and I'm a heavy gamer. Well built and cant take a good fall or two. connectivity is not a issue with this controller and I connect it to multiple devices and it always works. I cant see MS coming out with a 3 sine this one hits all the check marks TBH.

    the paddles in the back make this controller superior to the standard xbox controller. the black and silver looks sleek. my only complaint is the r2 and L2 buttons stop working after a while and the controller needs to be replaced after a year. (I will still probably keep getting this controller unless something more durable comes out)

    Xbox elite controller definitely is the step up every xbox gamer should be given the gift of, from being super comfortable to ultimate customization on textures to the controls, even the 4-paddle trigger backing to the controller is next level

    The elite controller feels more solid/heavier than a standard xbox controller and has more attachments for buttons/triggers which helps in a variety of games. I do recommend getting the warranty though because I had issues with my first one not connecting correctly and disconnecting randomly. My 2nd one has fared better but the nubs on the back that switches the tension fell off within the year. Other than that the battery life is good and it charges via USB-C.
