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.

    I love the feel and quality of this remote. Additionally the best buy totaltech program is amazing, as my dogs chewed up this remote and bestbuy was able to replace this for me at no additional charge.

    I don't know anything about games or controllers, but my child loves it. He tells me that with this controller he was able to play better which gives him an advantage to win the games and it saves me from buying batters. He also said that he can play and charge while using it. Battery life last for hours.

    Great product if you play a lot. The recharge feature alone was worth it for me. No more changing out batteries. Adjusting the hair triggers and fine tuning the sticks is a great asset in helping to get that slight edge in FPS. I Recommend the controller. Price is a bit high or I would have scored it higher.

    So far this seems to be a good controller in the month I’ve owned it. The paddles on the back side take a little bit to get used to, but once you get used to it things can be done much quicker. I like the ability to change out the d-pad and the joystick pads. And the case is really nice as well.

    Got this for my adult son who always bought his own equipment since he was in High School and was proud of it. I repaid his hard work and dedication to his college studies with this top of the line controller. He is extremely happy with it.

    Hands down the best controller for the Xbox

    Pricy, but worth it if you spend a significant amount of time on the console. Sized and weighted perfectly 9may be small for those with large hands, though)! Paddle controls can take some getting used to and will occasionally cause issues with unintended hits on a given paddle. Swappable user controls and configurability are outstanding!

    Took me a day or two to get used to, but now I will never go back using a regular $59.99 xbox controller. It's a great remote, especially when you can charge it and not buy batteries. The price is a little too bigh but usually, they have them on clearance, which then brings it to a fair price for what it is

    Very comfortable especially if you think the regular controller is a little small but it’s not a huge difference. Enjoy the better and customizable parts. 100% recommend product protection.
