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.

    It a good controller but honestly we felt the standard XBOX controller was more comfortable. The elite has added trigger option on the bottom so it may be better for someone who play games which need extra triggers. We ended up using 2 or 3 times and sold it.

    Off the rip you can tell it is a lighter and smaller controller that the Elite. However this version is a quality controller. I play various FPS games along with some fighting games and well you can imagine these controllers take a beating. I had some concerns about shortcomings with this version of the elite. Outside of the missing paddles, (Thankyou Scuf) for the accessories it has been all up hill. The down side is you can not modulate the sticks like Eswap but that controller for console has its own issues. Anyway I would definitely recommend it and would venture back in to it should I need or better put when I need another one. Thank you BestBuy and to your customer service team. It is awesome being able to be in store and get real time responses to your questions from knowledgeable and friendly people.

    The first one I bought was defective but only because the lowest input setting on the back of the controller wasn't working. I brought it back for a replacement and it works great. Worth the money for a great gaming controller.

    This Xbox controller really does make a difference in game play. It may be slightly heavier that regular controller, but the accuracy makes the difference. I would recommend this controller over the regular one any day.

    I have had three over the past 6 years. By far the best overall high end controller. The xbox controller frame and buttom layout in my opinion is the most ideal and ergonimic. Have only had one have button/drift issues and was replaced with GSP.

    I got this controller for use specifically with my PC, but as it has differential profiles available (three to exact) I was also able to pair it with my Xbox. Great controller and I’m so impressed with the quality.I felt as though it was very well constructed. This makes two elite 2 controllers I have…too bad it won’t pair to my PS5
