    Terrible experience. Bought less than 1 and a half months. Joystick is loose. You only have 15 days to return or exchange. $180 wasted.

    I had to exchange my product for a new one 5 times, sticks came out all with drift, really a shame. It's sad that it is a good design controller but with such low quality materials

    Just like the title says. I've only had it since 12/2023. Right trigger is making some weird noise and it doesnt always shoot. Just a heads up, those metal looking triggers are painted plastic. Theres nothing premium about this controller except the price.

    Received the controller and was very excited to use it, but the d-pad doesn't work very well. Would expect better from a "new" product

    Purchased on sale received a defective item I know thats not bestbuys fault but when I take the controller back just to exchange for one that actually works they tell me the sale is no longer going on and I would have to pay the difference to get another one

    Latency is noticeably worse then ps5/ps4 controllers. You’ll have to buy paddles and sticks separately and it ends up being about the same price as dual sense edge.

    Unmatched Performance & Comfort

    I recently purchased the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller in red, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! This controller is a game-changer for anyone serious about their gaming experience. Here’s why I’m giving it five stars: Design and Comfort The sleek red and black design is not only visually stunning but also feels premium in your hands. The ergonomic design and textured grips make it incredibly comfortable to use, even during marathon gaming sessions. The adjustable tension thumbsticks and custom profile options have taken my gameplay to the next level, allowing for precise and responsive control. Performance and Customization This controller excels in performance. The remappable buttons and adjustable trigger sensitivity offer a level of customization that is unparalleled. I love being able to tailor the controller to my exact preferences, which has significantly improved my gameplay across different genres. The 40-hour battery life is fantastic, and the built-in rechargeable battery means I no longer have to deal with disposable batteries. Versatility and Connectivity The compatibility with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Windows PCs is a huge plus. I can seamlessly switch between my console and PC without any hassle. The wireless connectivity is rock solid, with no noticeable input lag, providing a smooth and immersive gaming experience. Overall Value While the price is on the higher side, the quality and features of the Elite Series 2 Core justify the investment. The durability and build quality are evident from the moment you hold it, and the positive impact on my gaming performance makes it worth every penny. In conclusion, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller has exceeded all my expectations. It’s a top-tier controller that offers comfort, customization, and outstanding performance. If you’re serious about gaming, this controller is a must-have. Five stars all the way!
