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.

    Cool, But Expensive

    I bought an openbox controller. I'm not sure I'd pay the full $180 price for one of these, but the interchangable thumbsticks and magnetic D pads are a cool idea. Charges with any USB - C charger. That's nice.

    Love this controller - it will genuinely make you better at whatever game you're playing. Quality is not great. I've had it for 8 months and I'm having severe stick drift where it scrolls so quickly I can't choose the option that I want. This isn't a situation unique to me - I know a couple others that have had it happen to them too. For something that costs almost $200, I expected it to last a lot longer.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I have used the elite2 since it came out. This new version without all the accessories included is such a great option for someone like me who wears through about every 2 years. Not important, but it’s my favorite color and that’s always a plus!

    Very great quality controller with pretty much unlimited customization.I’d like to give it a 5 stars but they still had a problem with lb and Rb stopping working. Went through at least 4 elite 2s due to RB or Lb no longer working.
