Xbox Elite Bluetooth Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core Edition (White) For PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10, Mobile

Product Information

Even the Victrix Pro BFG which happens to be my favourite controller at the moment didn't come close to lasting half as long as this. If I had one criticism of the back paddles, it's that they're a little small, and a bit close together, sometimes making your hands feel quite squished together when trying to use them. The Elite Series 2 Core’s black rubberized grips, which contrast against its white plastic body, are the only unique difference. Like I said up top, I predominantly tested the Elite Series 2 Core by replaying one of my favourite games of all time, Dishonored.

When testing this gamepad, I decided to revisit Dishonored Definitive Edition, one of my favourite games of all time. If I had to nit-pick, I'd prefer sticks that had a bigger depression when pushed in - sometimes it could be a little hard to tell if I had the sprint button pushed down or not.Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience.

Experience the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core, featuring adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberised grip, shorter hair trigger locks and refined components that are built to last. The Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 Core’s improvements over the standard Xbox Core Wireless Controller don’t immediately stand out. I’ve reviewed more than a thousand different consumer electronics products including headphones, speakers, TVs, and every major game system and VR headset of the last decade. For those players who want remappable buttons, insane battery life, and some stick tension adjustability, but aren't interested in back buttons and stick caps, this is such an easy recommendation. This includes four optional rear paddles, alternative thumbsticks, an alternative D-Pad, a thumbstick tension adjustment tool, a charging dock, and a USB-C cable.

Stay in the game with up to 40 hours of rechargeable battery life and refined components that are built to last. With that in mind, Microsoft now offers the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core (we’ll refer to it as the Elite Core going forward). Designed to meet the core needs of today’s competitive gamers, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core in blue puts exceptional performance, customisation, and durability where it matters most—in your hands.
