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).

    I've had to return two of these over the past two years because the bumpers would just start failing. You basically need to have the geek squad warranty unless you want to deal with Microsoft.

    Unfortunately the elite-2 controllers have a tendency to start having problems with stick drift or button sticking. For the cost of the controllers its seems they should be better built. I would recommend getting a warranty on it. My son is on his 3rd one in 2 years.

    Bought this for pc and after trading it in twice the bluetooth on both doesnt work. they want you to shell out more money for the adapter which is ridiculous for a $200 controller. the weight is great although i wish it was slightly larger for my hands. if you do purchase get the warranty!
