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). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of the Elite Series 2, but it's still the best gaming controller ever made.

    GREAT when it works properly! Unfortunately I’ve only had the controller less than 6 months and the Right Bumper and “A” Button are almost unresponsive. As well as developing stick drift in the left Analog Stick already. Warranty is absolutely necessary for any Elite controller.

    The controller and box came in perfect condition! Everything works great. Shipping could have been better (as it took weeks to arrive after ordering), but it’s understandable during Covid!

    Bought as a gift, because I liked mine so much. The quality is great, and the custom mapping is perfect for customizing your buttons to specific games. Love it.
