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.

    It is a really good controller aside from the fact that my "A" button sticks every now and then. It was like that brand new out the box. If not for that, id give it 5 stars.

    I love how this controller feels in my hands. The grip texture feels just right, as does the weight. The haptic feedback has just the right amount of rumble and feels very high quality as well. I got the basic version without interchangeable toggles, which I would prefer to be a little shorter. Other than that, I love it! Well with the purchase.

    This new iteration of the Elite controller is well... ELITE! It is one of the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used and is better than any 3rd party pro controllers you can get! A tad pricey but well worth it! It has an internal rechargeable battery and the battery life lasts for days! Like binge playing all day... days! Must have for shooters too. Literally cannot play shooters anymore without paddles! Perfect compliment to a new Series X having 60-120fps!

    BestBuy should have the updated controllers in stock. Look for the yellow line on the front box. No more double inputs and better bumpers. Knocking a star for no Hall Effect joysticks

    This controller is excellent. I'm using it with a Microsoft Xbox pc wireless adapter to play PC games on Epic, Rockstar, and Steam. The response is great and it's a very reliable and versatile controller. I originally bought this with the intent to purchase the paddles down the road. If that's what you have in mind, just buy the complete Elite Series 2 controller so you don't have to deal with finding paddles.

    I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller.  I like the different opinions available to me.  The controller itself is nice and comfortable.  You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again.  There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

    This controller is awesome and has the best controls and fast triggers. The only thing is that the left thumbstick somehow gets unscrewed when I play, that's the only reason I put 4 stars.

    The controller for the series X that comes with the console is awful. It’s click clack buttons and AA battery compartment are shameful. This controller however is the one that should have come with the system. As I’m writing this review it’s on sale for Total Tech members for $140.00 and it’s worth that easy. It’s every bit as good as any custom Scuff PS5 controller that are selling for $230.00. If you love your Xbox and hate the cheap controller they packaged with it here’s the remedy.

    So I was skeptical at first about this purchase due to the mixed reviews. I’ve had this controller for about 6 months now and I can honestly say after countless hours and long nights playing the game, not to mention how many times I’ve accidentally dropped it on my hardwood floor that it still works perfectly. I’m here to tell you to go for it if you want to transition to paddles. I have and I’m not going back to regular controllers at least for FPS etc.

    It’s a good solid controller that works great with my PC. Very comfortable shape for your hands and the back paddles just flow into your fingers for ease of use for those that game for hours at a time. I play a lot of a Vanguard and this controller gets the job done and I’m able to move more efficiently in the game. Battery life is great as well lasting me more than a week on full charge gaming at least 5 hours a day. Just get it you won’t regret it :)
