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.

    Massive upgrade over the base controller

    The controller feels solid and not cheap. I like the rubberized grips and that it comes with a charging cable. The built in rechargeable battery is a massive upgrade over the base controllers AA requirements.

    Sexy & Durable

    Love this controller. If you are thinking of upgrading your Xbox controller and deciding between this and an actual "SCUF" it is a toss up, BUT there are a few things about this that I like vs the SCUF. I like that the underbody paddles are over-under instead of side by side. It allows you to use your middle and ring fingers as opposed to the SCUF design which you have to move your middle finger back and forth to use. Also, it is compatible with all xbox compatible components which the SCUF isn't always apt to do. Lastly, this product is sexy. The charger, the carry case, the interchangeable buttons/joy sticks—everything is beautiful, durable, and nicely designed.

    Saw this controller online and I had to get it because it looks really good and I've heard some good reviews on it. Best Buy Customer Service was amazing. When I arrived everyone was friendly and as soon as I requested my Item they went to go get it fast for. Overall I haven't had any issues and it works well no problems. Product feels good when holding.

    It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of the Elite Series 2, but it's still the best gaming controller ever made.

    Best Controller Ever

    I absolutely love playing with this controller. At first, I was hesitant because of the price but after a while I feel like the price is more than a bargain. I can use it for my Xbox, my computer and my cell phone. I can customize it for movies, individual games and streaming, soo much more. It's insanely customizable. The weight and durability are amazing. Gaming just isn't the same without it. By far one of my favorite purchases of all time. Don't even get me started on the battery life... It lasts for like 20 hrs, sometimes more.

    0 issues after several months usingbthis controller nearly every day. 10x better than the standard controller. I use scuf paddles with it. The custom mapping with the 3 presets is great if you like having different mapping for different games.

    I really enjoy this controller. It has a good feel. The grips are nice. The paddles on the back are easy to reach. Programming the buttons is super easy. Some people have reported stick drift, which I have never experienced. I own two of these controllers. I will say I have never paid full price for one. I bought used off best buy and ebay (with no issues).
