    Elite Series Core controller

    The Elite Series Core controller is exactly like the Elite Series 2 controller but it doesn’t come with the removable paddles, thumb sticks, dpad, case and charger base. If you’re fine with charging your controller on a wall outlet and don’t need any of the accessories that come with the Elite 2 controller or you’re replacing a broken Elite 2 controller, the Core controller is for you.

    Excellent build quality, love the built in battery, no more double A’s needed. Has a great weight and the customizability is amazing, from hairpin triggers to customizable back paddle buttons

    Could be a great controller but...

    The controller is comfortable and bit heavy. Not over whelming heavy but feels substantial in the hands. The case and components are of good quality and allows for much customization. The main issue I had with the controller was the input and joy stick drifting. It feels as if there was something causing the A or B button to stick. It makes it unusable at time. Im sure if it were to be taken apart and cleaned, it would likely work fine but for a controller that retails at $180, you would hope these problems did not exist.

    The controller is good quality, would like the LB and RB buttons to be more durable, but that is not Best Buy's issue.

    The price may turn some off, but the Elite Series 2 is the best controller there is. I love the customization feature that lets you have separate game profiles. Compatibility with Xbox One, PC, and later Series X makes it a worthwhile investment.
