Customers are saying

Customers regard the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller highly for its overall performance, battery life, and customization options, with many appreciating its comfortable grip and feel. However, some customers have reported issues with stick drift and button quality. While the controller's weight and paddles are generally well-received, the price point and bumper durability are potential drawbacks for some users.

    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!

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is hands down one of the best gamepads on the market, offering an impressive mix of performance, customization, and premium build quality. Designed for serious gamers, it brings pro-level features that go well beyond what you get with a standard Xbox controller.

    Works like a charm. Tested with Windows PC, SteamDeck, and NVIDIA shield. Flawless connection. If you want to enable the levers you will have to buy the additional set for the paddles. This is only the controller itself. Works well with small hands, I am somewhat doubtful if this is very comfortable with large hands.

    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.
