Should I Buy It?
If you are an avid gamer and are looking for a more immersive and customizable gaming experience, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core is a worthy investment. However, be prepared for potential issues with controller drift and to possibly purchase additional accompanying accessories separately.
These feel greatand are very responsive. Compared to dual sense edge they have superior battery life and don't have that sticky plastic feel. However, I have owned 7 elites since the first one and they tend to fail in about a year with significant use... so probably expected. Currently have 2 black, and red, white and blue core. Idk...i have a controller buying issue. I own ebout 40 for all different systems and these are by far the best controllers ever made.

I'm very impressed with this elite series controller. It feels high quality, with a great grip feel, weight balance, color, and overall design. The connectivitey has been the best I've ever experienced. It's an expensive purchase, but i'm prepared to pay if its worth it. I hope they sell more variety of colors in the future. Regardless, I'm happy with this purchase

I've been a gamer my whole life. Started on The Original Nintendo and have played on virtually (pun intended) every subsequent system. Bought the first XBOX on November 21st, 2001. I've owned every XBOX console and have played on every style of controllerthey've made since their inception. I say all of that to illustrate my familiarity with the subject at hand. The first generation XBOX Elite Controller made an epic milestone when it came to comfort, functionally,b and longevity. That being the case, I was a little skeptical when the time came to FINALLY upgrade my controller setup. While almost ALL of the functions and features of the Elite Series 2 are a tremendous upgrade, what gave me pause was the new fact that I could not hot-swap batteries once the time came for some juice. I'm not a huge fan of having to play with a plug-in wired controller due to how animated I am when I play (the jerking and pulling on the cable has ruined USB-C ports in the past). With the pros greatly outweighing the cons, however, I made the purchase and I am beyond relieved that I did!! Complete trigger and button customization aside, the battery issue I believed would be a problem, so far, has proven to be a non-issue and a pleasant surprise. Each charge has lasted multiple and consecutive "hours long" gaming sessions, the buttons, triggers and sticks are snappy and responsive, the vibrations are strong, and the grip and feel has proven to be comfortable even after extensive use. If you own an XBOX and you are wanting to step your literal and figurative game up... this is The Controller for you!! I will return in time to give an update on the battery life, you can be sore.

I'm on my third Elite 2 controller. About a year ago I bought one, and right out of the box, the face buttons weren't always responsive. I turned it in for warranty work to MS and the new controller I got back from them (different serial number) also had exactly the same problem. At that point, I swore never to get another one. Fast forward a year, and after trying other controllers and never finding one with decent back button layout, I decided to roll the dice again on this controller after hearing they may have improved QC, this time with the longest warranty I could get (3 years)... for Science. I'm flabbergasted to report that this one works perfectly right out of the box. Is it a fluke, or did they actually find the problem and correct it in their production process? I don't know, but if so, this is monumentally good news, as there are very few "pro" controllers that have even passable ergonomics (I just came from a Thrustmaster eSwap X). If this thing holds up for 6 months, I'll be ecstatic and provide a follow up review (and I'll probably buy another one to have as a backup). The Good Ergonomics - Microsoft invested far more money in studying controller ergonomics than any other company. This is evident when you handle their default controller as well as this one; the size is right for most hands, all the controls are laid out where you can actually reach them. I haven't found any other aftermarket controller get this right like MS. This clamshell design is the best out there. It's no wonder that companies like Scuff start with a default controller; other than licensing concerns, it's because designing something better would be extremely difficult. When you couple this with the textured rubberized grips, nothing comes remotely close in terms of comfort. Back paddles - This is the star of the show, and the reason you get a "pro" controller. Again, after lots of research into reviews and personally buying and handling a lot of other controllers, I've never found, or am aware of, any back paddle/button layout that is better than this one. Your fingers just naturally fall where the paddles are. There's no reaching or straining to get to them. Why is this so difficult for other companies to get right?? This is the thing that brought me back to an Elite 2. I will at some point get a Scuf Instinct Pro to compare, but I have doubts it will be better any than this. The problem I see right away with the Instinct Pro is it's not designed for you to be able to press more than one button per side. This could be an issue for some and potentially for me. Sticks - These are also top tier. They are very smooth with virtually no slop. The only other ones I felt that were as good or better was the Thrustmaster eSwap, which uses highly touted NXG sticks. The fact that the tension is adjustable also takes this to the next level. Whether they hold up over time will be telling but I never had that issue on the last Elite 2s I've had. Triggers - Again, top tier, smoothly action, nicely textured finish and with 3 stops (you're lucky to get one stop with most other controllers). I really like the throw of the trigger at the shortest throw. I suspect the Scuf Instinct Pro will be better so I can't wait to try it. I can't think of another competitor that will come close in this regard. Overall refinement - Microsoft has the money to throw at proper R&D, design, and production line assembly and it shows. When you consider the overall design, the feel, how the controller is sculpted and fits the hand, the finishing and quality of the plastics and rubber, nothing else really comes close. I suppose Sony does, but that's unfortunately not an option. The Bad Reliability - Everybody knows about the laughable return rates on these controllers. I had zero expectations going in this time around, and was ready to duke it out with the longest warranty I could get. You should never get something like this without at least one backup controller. Time will tell if mine holds up. If I can get 6 months out of this without having to turn it in for warranty work, I would call that a victory. If it holds out that long, I will definitely buy another one to have as a backup. Buttons - This has been the Achilles heel of the controller. The soft rubber domed, mushy feeling buttons are no different from a bog standard controller. I expect more from a premium controller, and I'm willing to pay a lot more to get it. Take Razer Wolverine Chroma V2 and their mechanical switches for example. They're able to offer that at a lower price point than this one. Come on Microsoft, stop cheaping out on buttons! For that matter, give us mechanical switches on the paddles also. Bumpers - They have a nice texture to them and are sculpted well, but like the buttons, I wish MS would get away from the mushy feeling rubber dome feel. One thing I will give them props for is they made these nice and quiet, like the rest of the controls. I'm still on the search for the holy grail of controllers, and will be getting a Scuf Instinct Pro next. I've waited over a year to have a working Elite 2, and I finally have it! As it stands right now, IMHO it is the best controller currently available on the market (when it works).
