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.

    Best purchase I’ve made for my Xbox series x. The extra buttons and the customization and remapping of buttons is great also the ability to change between different control profiles is amazing.

    Very easy to set up and you can tell they really thought through the design. Also, amazing battery life! Compatible with copilot. I have to knock off a star because I had to exchange for a new one because one of the paddles didn't work properly.

    I bought this as a gift for my son. He loves it. I also love the charging dock, it uses a USB-C charger which charges the controller fast. It’s a great accessory for his gaming system. We are both happy with the purchase.

    Great for my Steam games. I had an older one where the A button was sticky. The Best Buy rep was super helpful picking out the latest SKU. They even matched the price when the price dropped. No compromise controller. Get this, not the Core just save a little. It's worth it.

    I haven’t tried it yet but coming from a scuf controller and opening this product at work I’m excited to get home and try this out. Feeling the controller and pressing the buttons testing them out feels much better then scuf controllers maybe just a little heavier but it feels so much better. I’ll update when i test it out for a few weeks. Ps my scuf controllers can’t charge anymore and scuf will not help me out with them, that’s why I bought the series controller.

    Good controller, I’ve been using it for the past 7 months. There is no stick sway and all the buttons are working fine, except the left bumper is having some difficulty. I usually have to press it closer to the right side for it to have any input. Besides that, pretty good upgrade from your standard controller. (The paddles are also really great, they just don’t come with the controller, and not many games on Xbox have compatibility for them.)

    I bought the original when it first came out and though I loved it, it eventually had a problem with the left stick and became unusable. The new one feels just as well built if not better than the first. The built in battery and charging case are very nice additions to the controller. I like that the rear textured grip is now on the front part as well. Overall I think it’s an awesome controller and though not cheap it’s worth it. This time I did purchase the Geek Squad protection just in case, since the price was reasonable.

    Great controller with nice customization for the buttons. I was hesitant to buy this controller due to the price but it was worth it. Feels nice in the hands and the paddle shifters come in handy. The battery last forever in this thing, havent recharged it yet after 2 weeks use
