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.

The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    One on the best feeling controllers I have ever owned. The weight is perfect and the additional buttons on the back are awesome! I've had this controller for about 6 months and the A button isn't registering ever hit. I would definitely get the geek squad warranty with this product if you use it often. I walked in told them the button wasn't working and they gave me a new one. Great controller just wears out quickly.

    Great upgrade from the basic wireless Xbox controller. I believe it was worth the money. Feels great in my hands, and I like having the option of using paddles now. There's also the ability to change the D pad, as well as the knob's with different option's which come in the package, along with a nice protective travel case.

    Best Controller

    This controller is by far the best one. I have a Series 1 and I like it but, the grip portion will come off. But so far I have been using and making the Joy Stick adjustment and it is awesome and you feel and see the difference on the accuracy of the movement. I like the fact that I can charge it and use it for 40 hrs, I haven’t tested it the 40 hrs, but I like being connected when I play FPS.The back paddles feel better at their current location, better than the series 1. Let see after time how this controller operates.

    Battery life is great! And the most comfortable controller I own. Love that you can change the sensitivity on the sticks and triggers. Haven’t had any drift issues in the year and many hours I’ve been using it.

    This controller feels so well built that you wont want to go back to the normal ones. From different trigger sensitivities, To back button mapping. This controller does it all. Bot to mention it comes with a really nice carry case and a magnetic charging base or simply used the cable that comes with it. All around good buy for anyone who games casually to the more advanced player. Good job Xbox

    The used controller was very accurate. The controller was in excellent condition. It had all the parts that come with the controller and was clean and ready to use. I will always trust bestbuy with its open box items and they are always in correct condition

    The controller is awesome and last pretty long too with battery. However, it’s a good idea to get the warranty on it if you’ll use this frequently when gaming. These are definitely not immune to stick drift or some buttons sticking.

    Its been a month and Ive def noticed some wear and tear but over all its functional still. Id give it 5 stars cause its such a good controller but for 200 dollars id expect it to be a bit more durable so ill give it 4.

    Non-gamer here. It was hard to understand why we needed to upgrade to the elite controller until I held each and felt the difference. I've watched enough game play to see how intense the play can be, so now I can also understand why having some of the features would help. So instead of having to buy a new basic controller every 3-4 months because of the wear and tear, we'll invest in this and see it last a lot longer

    The controller is solid, except for the slight stick drift which I assume is a product of my mishandling of the controller not a fault of the controller itself. The software however is terrible and left my controller unable to be customized for a few months while I waited on an update to roll out.
