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).

    Great build quality, and customizability. However you will want to get the BestBuy extended warranty as they are known to have buttons or sticks fail after some time.

    Greay controller absolutely loved it I’d say my favorite part is the textured grip. It makes the controller feel very premium.

    I have my paddles set up to my liking and they’ve really helped my gameplay improve by allowing me to react faster by not having to remove my thumb from the joystick to push another button

    Bumpers still need improved or changed to buttons

    Bumpers are better than the 1st version but Ive went through 3 of these controllers already. I would of thought since this was a huge problem with the first one they might have just went with buttons instead of bumpers. I know i hit them pretty hard sometimes but a almost $200 controller and V2 shouldn't have this problem.

    This is the best controller ever made, from the features to the quality. The wireless connection is unbelievable, I can not tell between wired and wireless with this device. I love it and highly recommend it.
