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.

    Purchased this controller and had to return it due to the left trigger not working right out of the box. This was pretty inconvenient because I live pretty far from Best Buy. Once I exchanged this controller, the new one has been flawless.

    Feels heavy and sturdy in your hands. Love the trigger stops and the quality is deff there. On the pricier side but i feel that its worth it.

    I love this controller. However, at first, it did take a little to get used to the feeling in the hand coming from a regular controller. However, when I'm playing FPS games, I can definitely notice a difference and cannot go back to a regular controller now. I will say the reliability of this item is not that great. Only 5 months in the bumpers are not as responsive, sometimes not at all. I would say this is worth the price, but just be aware of the longevity.

    I couldn't ask for a better gaming experience. Programmable buttons to switch quickly between fps and racing games, programmable triggers to provide shorter travel/response distance.

    This is my 3rd Elite series 2 controller. The first two had issues with the bumpers (one right after the one year warranty, the second one almost at 6months). The controller itself offers great utility but for whatever reason the bumpers fail to stand the test of time.

    This is a great value, everything I wanted and more. I love the feel of the controller in my hand and the red color is outstanding. It made playing Window PC games a breeze. Thanks Best Buy for the terrific tech.

    Much better than the base controller. This one is much more sturdy and you don't have to worry as much about the analog drift which has made me replace 4 regular controllers in the past 2 years.
