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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Much better than the standard controller. I haven't used all the options it comes with but the overall feel of the controller is the best. When I play with the standard controller, you can definitely feel the difference.

    I like this controller a lot. It matches my xbox and helps me get the best shot while playing my games. I would buy this again. I have been wanting a white xbox controller and this is it.

    Love this new controller. Much more responsive. A little bit heavier than the normal one that comes with the Xbox, but feels to be much better quality.

    I was able to pickup an open box item. Like new with all the extra part. The ability to customize different functions makes the extra cost worth it.

    Controller is great but tends to lag and joysticks get stuck sometimes but I’ve had it for almost two years and it’s been good so far after I fixed the joystick from being stuck

    It is a great controller for going pro or other (etc) but my only issue was the bumpers stop working and need to have pressure applied to them

    Everything about this controller is awesome, unless of course you are me and the pads on the back are sensitive to you squeezing the controller from anxiety. Haha. Go get it if you can hold your controller lightly
