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 controller has sveral more functions than the standard remote which makes it more entertaining while playing games. Giving you more abilites and control of the game makes it well worth the money. The battery lasts a long time and I have not had it die on me yet. I definitely recommed.

    I got this for my husband as he's hard on controllers, and after having one of these before he broke a button after a few years, he was excited not only at the replacement, but also at the color choices that there are for these now.

    Looks and feels great. Did not contain the hotkey bars I was expecting that came with the previous models. Still, I was able to take my old ones and use those. Other than that, it’s great!

    Fantastic product, I use it every single day and have had absolutely zero problems with controller updates, movement on screen, and connectivity. The customization of the controller is fantastic and the price is well worth the gaming experience. As an added bonus, the 2 year warranty Best Buy provides for this product is the exact reason I chose to shop with Best Buy in the first place. 10/10

    Excellent controller. Bought one when they were first available, but got stuck drift within 35 days of use. This new version is holding up very well and feels tighter.

    Having an this as an option to purchasing the entire elite is cost effective for me since I have a full version model that suffers from stick drift and faulty button contact. Thus, my old paddles and other accessories fit perfect.

    It is an elite 2 without all the extras. Great for replacing broken elite 2. Im not a big warranty person but i highly recommend getting the warranty. Saves you about $70 (if you buy the warranty again after turning in broken controller) and saves you the headache and stress of getting a new controller. If you start getting stick drift, button stop working, controller stops charging, battery stops holding a charge, etc, take it to bestbuy, redeem the warranty, they give you the new controller, buy the warranty on it for $50, and you are back to gaming. (Warranty is 2 years, its a new controller)

    Great controller with wonderful battery life. Ergonomic grip is much better than the base controller. Wish this one came with the kit like the original elite controllers did.

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is hands down one of the best gamepads on the market, offering an impressive mix of performance, customization, and premium build quality. Designed for serious gamers, it brings pro-level features that go well beyond what you get with a standard Xbox controller.

    Old reliable right here. Ive tried a few different controllers and always come back to the elite 2 series because of its sturdiness, heaviness, button map quality and ease of use and it connects with my wireless headsets
