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.

    Love the elite controllers. Would have liked for this to come with the accessory pack, but it’s still very good, if overpriced

    The right bumper goes bad, this is my 3rd elite 2. I get a year out of them on average. At least now it's a bit less $ without all the triggers and sticks of which I have several sets of. Sending them to Microsoft for repair is a nightmare, and they send you someone else's they fixed. I'd rather save the time and aggravation and just buy a new one.

    Incredible controller, no problems at all. The quality is definitely improved from the original. Wouldn't recommend the original controllers anymore with how fast they seem to die now.

    I honestly recommend it only if you already bought the other elite series controller that has every accessory already included buying it by itself would be a waste but for me already having all the other accessories this was a really good purchase

    Great controller! 2 months in and no stick drift. Very tacky grip which is an upgrade from original elite 2. Purchased the scuf triggers and made a world of a difference with the response!

    I use exclusively this controller to play games as it has a great feel to it, the battery lasts a long time and having the options to add triggers to any game is great.

    The texture grip is comfortable and the customization through the pc and xbox apps are where this controller really becomes pro. Paired with Scuff rear triggers this is great all around.

    By no fault of best buy, xbox has this overpriced even for what it can do. The functions are unnecessary.
