A: You can save up to 3 custom profiles on the controller and switch between them.

Q: Does the Xbox controller have a rumble feature?

A: Yes, the controller has a rumble vibration feature.

Q: Can I use this Xbox controller with my Windows computer?

A: Yes, you can use the Xbox controller with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows devices.

Q: I have been trying to order this for a month or so and it still says that it is sold out?? How can a store as big as best buy be out of these for that long? Other retailers have them in stock what is going on?

A: I spoke to in Microsoft ambassador over Twitter and they said that there was a first version of the elite 2 and there were many problems like the outstanding bumper problem that was in the elite 1 carried over to the elite 2. Microsoft pulled the product and are trying to now put the 2nd iteration in to production without telling any of the 1st iteration owners that there are huge defects with their controllers. My elite 2 that I bought in December broke in February. The Microsoft ambassador was not able to confirm if the issue that broke my controller was fixed in the new version. My right bumper broke.

Q: Any idea when they will be back in stock and if the issues with bumpers, stick drift, xyab, will be fixed when more are available?

A: I just got my 8th controller today after ordering a few days ago. Lot number 2002 (meaning it was made in the 2nd week of this year, 2020). Without testing in game, I can say that the sticks were the best feeling sticks I've had so far. They had no play/wiggle whatsoever, which is a first for me after going through 8 of these. That being said, both the A and the Y buttons worked at most 50% of the time and the B button worked closer to 80-90% of the time when testing in the Xbox Accessories app and going through menus. Basically, as of the second week of January, they have still been coming from the factory faulty. Because I still have a GSP plan, I will be continuing to buy and return these controllers until I finally receive a functional Item. If one ever comes, I will let you know, especially if they actually send the new model (model FST-00008 as opposed to original model FST-00001) that I keep placing orders for that they continue fulfilling by sending older models.

    Exceptional Controller for Serious Gamers!!

    As an avid gamer, I’ve gone through my fair share of controllers, but none have left me as impressed as the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller. From its premium build quality to its customizable features, this controller is a game-changer in every sense.First and foremost, the build quality of the Elite Series 2 is unmatched. The controller feels incredibly solid in hand, with a satisfying weight that exudes durability. The textured grips ensure that it stays firmly in place during intense gaming sessions, reducing any chances of slipping.What truly sets the Elite Series 2 apart, however, are its customizable features. With the ability to adjust trigger sensitivity, button mapping, and interchangeable thumbsticks and paddles, the controller allows for a level of personalization that enhances gameplay to a whole new level. Whether you're fine-tuning your aim in a first-person shooter or optimizing your button layout for a fighting game, the possibilities are endless.Furthermore, the addition of Bluetooth connectivity and a rechargeable battery means no more tangled wires or constant battery replacements. The convenience factor alone is worth the investment.In terms of performance, the Elite Series 2 delivers in spades. The responsive buttons and precise analog sticks provide a level of control that is essential for competitive gaming. Every input feels instantaneous, giving you the edge you need to dominate the competition.While the Elite Series 2 comes with a premium price tag, it's worth every penny for serious gamers looking to elevate their gaming experience. With its unparalleled build quality, customizable features, and top-notch performance, this controller earns a well-deserved five-star rating. Whether you're a casual gamer or a seasoned pro, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller is a must-have addition to your gaming arsenal.

    Best Controller on the Market

    Love this controller and will always stick with this brand. The customization is amazing and has top-tier performance. The weight, grips, and overall build are far superior to other brands. If you are thinking about buying it - do it! Have fun playing with the paddles and mapping them to whatever feels best for each game. It will feel weird at first but makes gaming so much more enjoyable and competitive. Highly recommend keeping all 4 paddles on for almost every game. Also, trigger locks are OP! BIG plus, I have not experienced any stick drift with any of these controllers. I have had 4 in total. Microsoft is a genius for The Xbox Accessories app, which allows you to make profiles for every game that you can easily switch to with a press of just one button. Only one con with this generation and the original Elite: The LB button and only the LB button eventually gives out. This happens usually within a year, but I also use it frequently. This seems to be common in all the forums I have read. Bring it back into Best Buy within a year and they will send it off to Microsoft to fix. Est. 2 week wait Highly recommend getting the Geek Squad Warranty if you decide to purchase for a faster turnaround.
