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 like that it responds very well and it feels like high qualy. Only thing i dislike was the color but it was the only color available at the time.

    The Battery Life is impeccable and the fact that you can customize the d-pad and thumbsicks makes it so cool. It has usb type c for charging which is great and I can connect the case to the usb charger so I can use the charging pad. Worth every penny.

    This is my second one of these in 3 years. I love this controller so much the paddles make all the difference when playing competitive fps games. Heavy use will wear it out but still works great for a long time.

    This is the 2nd Elite controller I got within 6 months and the joysticks are sticking again to the point you can't play. For the price, this is a complete joke. It's not a BestBuy issue, but a manufacturing issue. I don't like that I had to pay for a warranty twice ($120) to make sure I can replace again. At this point, I don't want another controller, I just want my money back. Not worth it, look at something else.

    Not worth the price. The controller is a good idea. But it is poor quality. Buttons don't register some of the time. Bumpers start to loosen up. Stick drift is common in every controller, as it is on this one. Better off getting a cheaper controller with paddles on the back. That way you can buy 3 of them for the price. Of this one.

     The only thing that makes me a little sad as it did not come with a paddle attachment, but other than that it is a great controller to use for both PC and Xbox

    My son says it's the best Xbox controller he's ever used. It seems a little heavier but the button options are great and it's nice that the case can be used as a charging dock.

    Awesome controller, amazing features for true hardcore gamers but there are a few flaws. My RT (right trigger) over time became very "sticky" it would require me to put in extra pressure to press the trigger down after having it in the medium trigger sensitivity for about a month.... not a big fan of that (like really 1 month). Also the cover on the trigger sensitivity lock popped off of my controller also within the first month and I have yet to drop this controller even as I write this review months later. Either I was given a bad controller or these are designed to break easy but regardless of the cons it's a good controller all around. take my advice GET WARRANTY ON IT!

    Great quality! The pieces can come off easily and get lost but mainly only happens during game rage. If you’re not a psychopath with built up anger that you take out while playing Roblox, you’re gonna love this controller!

    Solid controller, I would recommend buying the protection plan just in case it fails, but I honestly love everything about this controller to include the 40 hour battery life. I take care of my things and I haven’t had any issue with the controller itself

    Overall decent feel, takes some getting used to. Great mapping and good feel in the hands. I still think the joysticks are a bit odd but I’m used to it and happy with the added triggers

    I had the previous elite controller, and very much like the face you can increase or decrease the resistance of the thumb sticks. I also love the rechargeable battery and the ability to remove the charging base or leave it in the case (which has a pass thru port) and charge it in there while its protected.
