Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    Great quality worth it for the price over the standard controller. Just know this one does not come with the case or any paddle.

    Bought this as an open box item hoping there would be no issues. Was I pleasantly surprised. No issues at all. Looks and works just like a brand new controller. Love the fit and interchangeable controls. So far playing has been great.

    I recently bought the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller from Best Buy, and it's fantastic for PC gaming. The rubberized grips are incredibly comfortable, making long sessions a breeze. With excellent customization options and responsive controls, this controller is a great investment for serious gamers. Highly recommend!

    I like this controller a lot. It matches my xbox and helps me get the best shot while playing my games. I would buy this again. I have been wanting a white xbox controller and this is it.

    Hands down the best!! Out of all the controllers I’ve used the elite series 2 beats them all! Vastly improved from the series 1. Heavy feel in your hand, superior battery life, fully rubberized, interchangeable control sticks which the tension can also be adjusted, trigger tension can also be adjusted. 4 additional triggers can be added although I don’t use them because the way I grip the controller I accidentally press them sometimes, so you can conveniently remove them or only use the ones you want. Multiple users can be saved to the controller for different configurations as well. Highly recommend paying for the geek squad protection plan, as it is a replacement plan. So if ANYTHING at all ever goes wrong with it they will replace it with a brand new one. My sticks started drifting so I brought it in and they replaced it with no questions asked, they were out of stock so they just shipped it to my home and had it in 2 days.

    All the sticks and paddles come with this controller. It feels great in your hand.. until you start sweating then the rubber will slip a bit, obviously. Still a great controller. Definitely not worth 200, but its nice.

    Best controller for competitive gaming

    Is really good controller for competitive gaming but unfortunately the sticks do get stick drift after daily use. It will give about 4 months before you need another controller. But because extended warranty that kind solve the issue if you have the extra money to afford it.

    The controller's ergonomics are exceptional, particularly the macro buttons, which facilitate complex command inputs in fighting games. Pairing with my computer was seamless, eliminating any configuration complexities. The weight and grip are ideally balanced and comfortable.

    Excellent controller. Highly recommend. It goes on sale often and is worth the price. This is our second controller. We have had the other one for more than a year with no issues. It is responsive and versatile. The ability to remove the joysticks to clean is helpful, and charging the controller instead of constantly replacing batteries is a huge plus.

    Great but not perfect

    I have mixed reviews with this though overall positive. From a gaming standpoint: fantastic controller. It feels great to use, really good grip, I love the paddles on the back and the customization. I like that you get extras to make it more customized and things can be easily swapped out. I have an issue with the quality control. I had to return my first one because I got stick drift. My second one also has a very slight stick drift. It doesn’t bother me much so I might keep this one vs swapping it out again. The first one never had issues pairing Bluetooth once turned on. The second one tends to not always connect and I have to re-pair through Bluetooth, a little inconvenient. For the price, I would expect it to be perfect.
