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.

    Solid materials but the contriller seems to get stick drift extreme fast. It also randonly loses connection a lot. Its definitely not worth full price mayne not even a sale. Consider other controllers first.

    I was skeptical about paying so much for an Xbox controller, but so far, this one is proving to be superior to all of our previous buys. My Kiddos both say this controller has no drift and is much more comfortable to hold and navigate. Seems as though Microsoft could lower the price a bit, still IMO. But, for what it's worth, there really is a noticeable difference!

    I bought the controller since my old series 2 was broken so i bought this one and it is definitely worth it. Besides the color not being the same there isnt much of a difference controller wise.

    So far so good. I've been using it for a month now and no issues. Hopefully this holds up. 1 year warranty. But again so far so good. I purchased this knowing i didn't feel the need for the extras , like the paddles. But maybe 1 day I'll change my mind. A full Charge on this controller last for a long while. About 30 to 40 hours on a single charge. Love the white and black color scheme. I never used the black elite 2 version. So i can't compare the two. But Overall I'm happy with this controller.

    Xbox Elite series controller SHINES ABOVE THE REST

    After using the Xbox elite series controller for about a month now I feel that I can leave a solid and honest review. I have tried and used multiple Xbox controllers that have paddles and are capable of custom button mapping. The xbox app for the Xbox elite series controller allows you to custom map EVERY ASPECT of the controller. So much so that I am able to turn down the responsiveness and speed at which the input for the left and right stick acceleration depending on the parameters that I set. It sets so well and comfortably in my hands. Simply put, it is hands down the best controller i have ever used. Thats including Fusion and Turtle Beach brands. The cost is minimal at best for such a controller in my opinion. I have had to return and exchange numerous controllers that were previously stated. Given the costs (Turtle Beach alone being over $200) of the competitors products and the craftsmanship I had expexted to be set for the foreseeable future, however that was never the case. I have had ZERO issues with my Xbox elite series controller. The battery is PHENOMENAL and the charge time is MINIMAL at best.

    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

    Always great products at great prices. This Xbox Elite 2 controller is the greatest gaming controller out as you can tweak everything to your liking which is perfect as gaming isn't a 1 size fits all when it comes to controller and tension on buttons, triggers and joysticks.

    Elite 2 controller core for the win

    Definitely worth the buy if you previously had an elite controller. If your old expensive elite 2 controller broke and need a replacement? Buy the core and take the parts off your old controller and voila, you have a fully functional elite 2 controller with all the bells and whistles at a fraction of the price. Don't forget the protection plan for when you get stick drift.
