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.

    Disappointed that it did not come with the rear paddles, etc. Especially for the price. There is not that much of a difference in gameplay.

    Fantastic series 2 core controller

    First off I’ve had a regular series 2 controller when it launched back in November 2019. It was the best off the best. I never used the paddles on the back and rarely used the case it came in. The right bumper button started to not register 3 years later. So i picked this core series 2 up and it has a smaller form factor like the new S/X controllers have and i live that. Slightly smaller than the regular series 2. It is identical to the other minus case, , paddles, and a few different thumb sticks which i really liked. You can get those other accessories later on if you want and save sum money.

    When 5 stars is not enough The controller works perfectly and operates just as it should. And the experience of the curbside pick-up went flawlessly & quicker than I am used to. Way to raise the bar El Segundo Best Buy

    Custom button mapping is awesome. Game changer! Interchangeable thumbsticks and d-pad a nice touch. Heavy duty, definitely not a light controller. Being able to charge the controller inside the case is a nice touch as well. Totally worth the money.

    Great controller but very easy to break I’d say. I’ve had them for awhile but starting to notice some defects in under a year. Paddles help a lot for competitive gaming though.
