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.

    Elite controllers are amazing you just need to get the protection plan for any problem that can occur from use of a controller like stick drift

    Really does give you an advantage in shooter games. Controller looks and feels premium! Love how the buttons from the original elite controller fit this, so buying just this core was a no brainer to me.

    It fills so smoothly, heavy and solid, it’s really different experience. Even if you don’t you down pads you need to have one, sticks moving so smooth and accurate. I love it, perfect. I dont have too much time for gaming, but it still great.

    I play a lot of Apex Legends and the paddles that this controller comes with are fantastic. I have two of the three settings saved through the xbox app for Apex, Battlefield, and another that I’ll find a use for eventually. The battery lasts a long time on a single charge but it also takes a very long time to charge too. So keep that in mind. It is expensive, but I think it’s worth it so far.

    The Elite Series 2 wireless controller is one of the best controllers in my opinion I love using the paddles on the back and my favorite part about this controller is the hair trigger lock

    If you are looking for a solid controller this is the go to, also if you have an original elite controller and you break it or damage it the paddles thumb button are all cross compatible with this controller I give it a 9/10

    Probably the best controller on the market right now, as a PC user. Just switched from a PS4 controller so I'm still adjusting but no other controller has as many options as this does. A best buy agent helped me with this purchase and I greatly appreciated it. Always buying from best buy whenever I can.
