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). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    There's a reason for the price. The Elite series 2 stands out against any other remote in every aspect. Quality, build, battery life, customization options. Well worth the price.

    Amazing remote. Only use one paddle so far for cod and it’s fantastic. Battery life is longer than I expected. 4-5 days until the remote light turns amber.

    Better controller done original. But definitely not worth a rich general price. And too many extra parts.

    Having the elite controller is a must for the Xbox. Great quality, extra buttons and setting adjustments to get the most out of your controller. It’s not just hype. I would never go back to using a regular controller again

    Excellent, back triggers can be modified for depth pressure. Some of the buttons are interchangeable. It also has a good texture for grip.
