From day one I've had issues with the bumper button. Original seriers same issue. All they did was give it a new paint job and nit fixing the problems like somehow a new look would sweep away old problems. This controller is fantastic when it works.

Bet the stick drift sets in before the unboxing..

I really hope the durability is much more than the first Xbox elite series controller.

So their controllers not only suffer stick drift way more regularly than other Xbox controllers, but they decided to sell the paddles separately? MS being MS I guess.

Durability? Apparent the LB and RB didn’t get that memo.

If only this controller wouldn't be packed with planned obsolescence. The non-removable battery, rubber grips and joysticks with a limited lifetime make this product an absolute no-go...

this video is so helpful thanks 🎉🎉

Great reviews

Just curious, doesn't the 180 dollar version of the controller come with all the components and stuff, and the component pack is just for if you got the version with just the controller? I just got the 180 dollar one and almost bought a component pack as well

Best, & most used feature will be the extended warranty...

Hi can you do a settings for the high attention on Worzone , please preferably Benny central. Many thanks

Hey bex I don't know about getting that Elite Series core 2 controller it been breaking again lately people have been posting there controllers saying this controller is the same as the old Elite 2 controller i might wait to get the 3 series or I'll just get the Xbox Scuf Controller

I loved my elite series 2, it developed an issue with one of the rear paddles. Returned it under warranty on 6 Dec for UPS to lose the parcel and have been struggling horrifically with Microsoft to get it replaced. Over a month later and I am still trying to get the situation resolved. Customer service from Xbox is beyond awful. This is all from a die-hard Xbox fan, and it truly pains me to say.

I really do want to get the Core controller. Re black and white look sleek together….. I’m just not a fan of the rocker pad, though. So either way I’d have to pay full price to include the Complete Component Pack.

never once did i experience stick drift on ANY of my 360 controllers. But once Xbox One rolled around problems with controller exploded. i’ve ran into stick drift on day one of a new controller purchase. it’s not a stretch to say that Microsoft intentionally caused this to increase sales

I'm glad I didn't get the original elite controller. The core white was made for me!! Don't even need to wait for this to come do Design Lab😁

wow what a beautiful controller

Since it can be used on a windows computer, what about FFXIV?

I dunno on this…. The 1st elite controller had rubber problems!!! The palm area rubber grips kept coming unglued…..Countless time glueing it back down. I eventually gave up and got a regular controller.

I absolutely love this controller! I'm buying my kids an Elite Controller through Design Labs when available.

this is literally the same controller, but with the accessories sold separately this time?! Bruh....

Best controller ever 👍👌😉😁🎮

Xbox is much better than PlayStation 💚😍

@xbox is party mode a thing on controllers

I got one as a gift today there was no thumbstick tool in the box

How do those paddles work? If I'm playing fallout 4 for instance, can I assign those paddles to equip specific weapons or to take specific chems?

To everyone that says they had problems with a Series 2 it's most likely because of the factory that made it and you also have to take into account how rough you were with it because being rough on anything will eventually cause it to brake. Half of the elite series 2 controllers have had no problems, for me my normal series 2 controller has had no problems since 2019 and my Halo series 2 controller works amazingly. I also have had the original elite controller since 2015 its had the worst problems. My problems with the elite series 1 are my grips fell off and I had to replace it with 3rd party grips I found on Amazon. Also one of my sticks got drift and that happened after I had dropped it a lot, I'm lucky that my bumpers did screw up because the series 1 is based of a 2014/2015 Xbox one controller.

it would be nice if the paddles and all other things would come with the controler......

I own 4 elite controllers 2 series 1 and 2 series 2. Love them all. And they all still work perfect

Owned two Xbox elite 2 controllers. Sent one in on warranty for the right bumper failing. Sent me a band new one. Right bumper failed on that one as well a month later. No more warranty. Now it's a $250 paper weight.

The black one came with a case

So it’s an elite controller

UnBEXing video! 😀

Honestly I really don't need this. Its cool but I'm totally fine with my Series S Controller. Never had any stick drift with all of my controllers in the last years btw. Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X two times and now Series S.

Please make it possible to receive an order from Xbox Desain Lab to Israel please🙏

Ah yes it feels very premium

I love your hair!

So I ordered the Component pack and it arrived late do to the blizzard and noticed it was already opened and was missing the two large paddles I took it back to gamestop to get a refund but couldn't because it was past the date to refund it even though it arrived LATE so I talked to the corporate and so they agreed I could get a refund for it praise the lord.

LOL! They removed major parts of the troller glad i have the elite series 2 and do not need to spend money to get my accessories

So they sell it as a different pack? I have a series 2 controller but my bumpers don’t respond anymore. Do these accessories work on the older series 2 or no?

Work on your QC. Unbelievable that you charge a lot of money for a device that's very often defective right out of the box.

Cool.😉

Fortnite

Series 1 was better Series 2 was a let down

🙂

Do not buy! Has the opportunity to be a proper unreal controller but had the original series 2 controller and the bumpers stop becoming responsive after around 2-3 months, not worth the money, this new controllers is the same and has the same issues but with different feel and paint job.

whats the price

What a rip off, you have to buy the case separately. My elite 2 came with everything. 👎

The battery pack dont come out what happens when the battery goes dead The lithium

Break downs have confirmed that this controller has the exact same internals as the issue ridden original. 👎🏼

What’s the point if you have to buy the components separately 🤦🏽‍♂️ Microsoft has done it again! Tomatoes 🍅!

I need a job Xbox

Another controller...but no games 💚

Shame there's nothing worth playing on xbox, seriously no new games, gamepass literally means pass up playing old games or games I've already played or have no interest in. Make some exclusive games that are original, and stop buying up 3rd party and acting like that's some kind of win for anyone. Your controller is dead without new games.

Ok.. So XBOX have new controller but no games.. XBOX is mediocre on this generation, easy W for PlayStation! GOW Ragnarok > every XBOX's exclusives Just a fact!

Probably one of the worst reviews, I’ve ever seen on KZfaq
