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.

    What it comes with is awesome, carrying case, charge cable, customizable sticks, and charging dock, and the battery life is excellent. Exceptional build quality and have had no issues so far. Dpad did wanna vibrate a lit when holding it though. Built in customizable app works seamless as well!

    I’ve bought this controller again and again, And will buy again if need. It lasts long and work extremely excellent. Then from customization to the mechanics work amazing. It also comes with a carry case along with interchangeable pieces. The best part is it’s also rechargeable. Not to also mention the adjustable triggers

    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.

    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 :)

    Great controller. But two years out and the rubber is coming off... Not great to have this expensive of a controller to have glue separating.

    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

    Solid controller, but definitely make sure it is updated. I have not had any issues. It plays games and has some buttons on the back. It is nice to have the profiles for different games.

    Perfect controller!!! It definitely feels heavier and sturdier than other controllers. It held up really well and works perfectly over a year later.
