    Great controller feels really good, the cons is so many issues with the bottoms; right out of the box B don´t work very well some time after using it this kind of fix it self, I month ago the RB start to giving me some issues. For the kind of money MS charge of for this is not acceptable to have this so many issues. When it works is the best controller out there....the problem is it has so many issues

    Review Title: Smooth, Premium Controller—But Price

    Product: Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller (Blue) This controller feels amazing in the hands. Super smooth controls, responsive buttons, and a premium build quality that elevates any gaming session. Whether I’m playing on Xbox or PC, it’s incredibly reliable and satisfying to use. The only real downside is the price—it’s definitely on the expensive side. But if you’re looking for a high-quality, long-lasting controller that gives you a pro-level feel, it’s well worth the investment. Highly recommended.

    Solid controller. Crappy bumpers. But all Xbox controllers have terrible bumpers. Overall, it’s worth the price for the amazing battery in this thing. I barely have to charge it

    Best controller I have ever used. I honestly stopped playing my Playstation 4 because of this controller. Battery life, customization and most of all the tension control on the joysticks are amazing.

    Theres alot of negative stigma around this controller. But out of the box, absolutely no issues. Its the Cadillac of controllers. Its feels great, the sticks snap right back to the middle and best of all no stick drift. I definitely recommend the geek squad coverage because if something does go wrong in the next two tears, they can replace it with a new one. No regrats. And use the case to keep it clean, that the biggest maker of stick drift.

    IMHO the price point on this controller is a real blocker. I would have tried one years ago at $100, maybe even $130, but near $200 for a controller is a lot to ask. That being said, thanks to not going out for a year I've saved enough money to justify this kind of opulence and I'm glad I went for it. It comes with a charging dock you can rest it on which is nice. I'm mainly a single player gamer so having 1 controller constantly charged is a big deal. I dropped the flippers on the back and swapped out joysticks. The directional pad is an improvement (and you can swap it out too if you disagree). You don't need this controller, but if you're interested and have money to burn you have my blessing.

    Battery life in it is excellent and I love how it feels. Had drift in the right stick for a while but haven't experienced it in some time. It's comfortable to use and I plan to be using it for a long time.

    Good improvements over the first version

    All I can say is they improved an already great controller. Battery life is way better than the first version and I like the improved grips your palms rest on. And for those upset that you can't change the batteries, I feel its now a mute point. They have a very long a generous USB-C charging cable and the controller has no issues being used while charging (unlike some that can tend to drop the signal when this occurs). The only odd thing both a friend and I have noticed (we purchased at the same time) is that the Xbox button can be a bit off when pressing to turn on/off and other functions. It seems the click point is not as centered as the pervious version and is s bit more toward the right bottom of the circle.
