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 product if you don’t need the case/paddles or like us we have the case and sticks from our original elite 2 controllers and don’t need to pay $50 more for it. Great holiday present for your Xbox gamer.

    Bought this to replace the series 1 Elite controller. Happy with it so far. Hopeful it doesn't have the issues the 1st series had with stick drift and the rubber grips pealing off.

    Love this controller!! Overall it works great and feels good in the hands for long hours of playing. If you are a heavy gamer I would recommend purchasing the warranty with Best Buy.

    Its kinda a pile of crap but works better then any scuff controller on the market. The bumpers will stop working after a year. This is a known issue. Some people with new controllers have had issues with the A button sticking. If you want a scuff type controller this is the one to get. But beware and get the geek squad warranty. It will eventually break

    Its the best quality controller ive ever picked up. You can tell its quality by the weight alone. It feels much more sturdy than your standard controller.
