Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core

Much better than the standard xbox controllers

The controller is expensive but worth it. It has weight to it and feels sturdy. The adjustable buttons are nice.

It's worth it :)

The elite controller did take some getting used to, with all the new buttons. I thought they were a bit odd but after a few rounds of Halo MC, it's made playing games a bit more easier to navigate. It is pretty pricey, yes, but it is worth it. No issues so far or none I haven't noticed. All-in-all, I very good controller.

Beast of a controller

The Controller is actually better than I thought!

Awsome and fast service

The Controller is actually better than I thought!

Great controller terrible build quality

I owned the series 1 which was plagued with Build quality issues. After reading that this series 2 had supposedly fixed those issues I reluctantly brought this one since the series 1 was a great controller despite it failing multiple times in the lifetime I owned it. Well turns out after just two months of owning the series 2 this one has already begun to fail. The left stick has permanent drift upwards and also gets stuck 50% time when pushing it left or up. The A button has also started having phantom clicks (pushed once but sometimes double taps). To say that I’m beyond disappointed is an understatement because if it wasn’t for the build quality issues this controller would be 5 stars. All I can say to other potential buyers is buy at your own risk and pray that you get one of the good batches (if they do infact exist!-)

Great but…

I have purchased two elite controllers in the past year, and that should tell you something. They are an excellent controller, with fantastic customisation, and the paddles on the bottom give you a real edge in battle royales. My only grief with them is the thumb sticks. After a year of use I started to get drift, unresponsiveness and paddles not working. But I can’t go back to the original Xbox controller because this one is too good

Only made better by using...

The SCUF ELITE SERIES 2 PADDLES.

Feels and looks great

Great gamepad to use, works effortlessly with Windows PCs and the remappable buttons and changeable trigger / stick depth etc are all nice features, though be aware Microsoft does not let you remap the buttons to keyboard functions without external programs.

Lifetime controller?

Been working as it's supposed to, didn't fail my expectations.

Not quite premium

2 years on and the rubber grips have started to peel, and the front faceplate has cracked. The left stick is a little loose, which will probably become a problem later on. In those 2 years, though, this controller has served me remarkably well in all sorts of games, and I'll likely get it refurbished to continue using it.
