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).

    Solid build and great customization options. Never drops connection through bluetooth. Excellent battery life that can last 3 days straight. Paddles will need to be bought separately, however.

    This controller is great! Love the adjustable to ensuon on the thumbsticks. Feels sturdy and controls are snappy. Shoulder buttons feel a bit flimsy, probably wouldn't survive landing directly on them in a fall, but that is no different than any other MS controller. Handle grips feel a bit sticky, but easy to grasp overall. Battery life is absolutely insane! Used it for 2 weeks on a full charge before it even indicated it was running low. Would recommend!

    Great controller especially if you use additional paddles. However the controller does not seem to last more than a year without starting to develop stick drift and bumper issues. I've been through three controllers in less than 3 years with moderate to heavy use. If you buy a BestBuy geek squad extended warranty, just be aware that if you have to use it, you will have to buy another new policy for the replacement controller. The 2 year policy ends as soon as you use it.

    Not as crisp as a complete one, but it is just as serviceable as one. I haven't had connectivity issues and it feels fine.

    Love the way this thing feels in my hands. I don't use the extra buttons so it's nice how you can remove them. The thumbsticks feel nice too and you can swap them out for different ones.

    Good value as I didn’t require the bumpers. Controller feels solid and comfortable to hold. No 5 star due to a rattle after a year of use in the vibration. Never dropped or damaged which is unfortunate.

    Great controller for the money. The only issue is the Joystick motors after constant use they get some stick drift but it is manageable and doesn't really affect you when gaming.

    Great controller for the value. Pretty durable as well. Won't make you any better at your favorite game, but it looks cool and has extra buttons.
