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.

    Great customization for controller, if you’re replacing an older elite this is a great option to look into.

    I was not happy with my purchase when upon opening it the paddles were inserted into the controller already which I think messed up one of the buttons that one of the paddles clicks on to use its function! And those paddles are NOT supposed to be already inserted but in the holder in side the case with all the other attachments so now I dont know what I can do to replace it since the store is still closed due to the pandemic going on!!!! I would never buy any thing ever again thru best buy's web site ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I honestly love everything about this controller with regard to the features and way it changes how I play. However, I am needed to replace the controller again after having button issues and stick drift issues. I always take great care of my tech so these widespread mechanical issues are a damper on an otherwise great controller. Definitely get the Best Buy replacement warranty for this one.

    Yup. It feels good to use it and the bottom triggers make a difference. I didn't notice much difference between the series 1 and series 2, so I don't know that it's worth paying to replace if you own one already.
