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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Best controller for PC or XBOX no question. MINUS the 2 I took back because of stick drift and/or the A face button didn't work. But this 3rd controller is the absolute best. This rating is on the 3rd controller not my experience getting them.

    Great controller. Has good grip and good buttons. Sometimes i have drift issues, but adjusting dead zones compensates.

    I previously owned the elite controller so when series 2 was released I had to have it this is what the first controller should have been better grip built in battery and a charging pad not bad at all

    I purchased this as a gift for my son's birthday and he loves it. He is on 13 years old but has already customized the additional levers/switches for CoD: Modern Warfare. It also arrived days ahead of scheduled to my home address. We are extremely satisfied.
