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).

    It is what it is. Very premium feel to the whole thing. The metal interchangeable dpad is very nice. The buttons on the back feels solid. You're getting what you paid for.

    I like it, Is it worth $130.00 Perhaps. Feels good in the hands. I haven't really used a lot of the other buttons other than standard set up's.

    As far as the use of this controller after 5 years of using the elite controllers I can't even go back to using a regular controller. I love this controller. On the other hand I've replaced my controller 3 times due to the left or right bumper not working after a period of time. My advice make sure to pay for the best buy coverage and replace it as needed.

    My husband loves this controller so much better than the standard controller because it’s more durable. Though we have had to replace a couple now, so the warranty is a good idea!
