    There both the same controller internally, I watched a video and a guy took apart an Elite Series 2 at the same time as a Core side by side to compare all the internal components and both controllers were identical internally... The differences between these 2 controllers is the colour and the fact that you have to buy all the components like sticks and paddles separately if you buy the core. In my opinion if you want one and already owned an elite series 2 in the past than buy the core because you can reuse all the components from your series 2 on the core controller.

    It is also likely to get more people in the door at a cheaper starting point, as Microsoft sells the entire accessory pack with the case, replaceable parts, and charging dock separately. Together, it's about the same price as buying the elite series 2 bundle. Much easier to buy one piece at a time if you can't get it all at once price wise.

    I've become to reliant on having the four extra buttons with the paddles on these elite controllers. I had to buy one of these as backup since my first series 2 is starting to act up after 6 months with the face buttons giving multiple inputs with single button presses and the right bumper not registering at all at times. I'm glad they're both identical so I can move all the parts from my first controller on to the core while I send the other one for replacement or whatever ms decides to do. edit: Alright just received my series 2 core today and can say that they are not 100% identical. Anyone that has used an original elite series 2 will instantly notice the core's matte body as opposed to the originals rubberized body, next will be the matte finish on the triggers and bumpers instead of the smooth finish on the originals, the guide button is inverted on the core where it has a solid x. That's all I noticed to be different at the moment, probly just me but I feel the rumble on the core might be weaker.

    I don't care what anyone says, the Core feels a tiny bit slimmer around the ring finger part of the grips vs the Elite V2. The paddles feel like they sit a bit raised off the grips, obviously being newer than my Elite 2 they require a tad more press and put off a little "click" vs the membraney feel that my Elite 2 now feels. I am also on my 2nd Core, because the Y button doesn't register all the time and needed to be pressed from a certain angle. The replacement they sent also has the issue but not as bad. I'm hoping they go all out on the Series 3, whenever that may come., because they truly feel the best to me as far as comfort and paddle design.

    Hey, I know its been awhile since Xbox Elite 1 controller has been out. At first, I thought it was a sticky or misaligned right trigger, its not. I checked on Xbox Accessories, both Left & Right Triggers are "Limited for 100%" to describe it. They won't go the full 100% like if I remap the Top 2 Paddles do. Any fix for both of my triggers at 100% again?

    What i dont like is that the technology inside the stock series s controller is different ir something. I have a gaming monitor with a great response time so that input lag is minimum and none when wired. The stock controller has a lower input lag then the elite when wireless and even when wired it somehow still has a greater input. I know it has something to do with that DLI technology but i am sensitive to the difference, so at that point i got rid of my elite becuase the stock controller had better performance.

I never understood how theres people who dont clean their device they touch with there dirty hands. and sweaty face after talking on the phone. You can see the germs from your face... Keep your divices clean... but yea I had my controller about 2 years too, still works great. I had drift problems but it fixed idk how lol. But might get a core since I wanna play 2players sometimes and I love the elite controller feels nice and last me longer than the normal ones.

    Its unprecise flipping back to center and the sometimes not working A-Button is sadly my exoerience with my limited xbox one "grey/green"-edition back then when I bought it 😞 I´ve lost the motivation playing with a controller right away... today I was so proud as my White Core arrived. Right now everything is working fine - but once I thought "hmm...did the a-button react?" - lets hope it has and will not happen to me again. But ok - this time I can send it back in 30 days when it appears to fail. What I really love is that you can shorten the trigger-way for LT/RT and instead of using the much to high LB/RB (worst ergonomics on many controller) now I can use the paddles on the back instead - love it 🥰👍 What I dont like is that it seems you can not take out or change the battery - at least not easily.
