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).

    I bought this and at first I loved it! But after about two years one of the bumpers is registering two inputs for every one click! I have taken excellent care of this controller so it's very disappointing to see these issues so fast. Unfortunately with only a one year warranty I can't even get it repaired! I'm stuck with a paper weight. If you MUST buy one get a 3 year warranty.

    After 1 year and a half the grip of the controller starts peeling off. Back buttons (LB/RB) will start to not work also. I’m only giving this review 3 stars because the controller is only good for shooter games
