    Great idea, terrible quality control

    I love playing my Xbox and my elite 1 started to have stock drift, so I figured I’d upgrade since it’s been a while. Got this baby in pretty fast Best Buy was great all things considered but the product came defective out the box. Now I dont know what the process is to return this now that COVID-19 is upon us, but I’ll tell you guys what was wrong out the box. The A button is non responsive a lot and it’s frustrating when I press it to no avail. The controller always disconnects from my Xbox everyday for a random moment. I love the elite controller idea but part of me thinks I should’ve went with a different company like scuff or Astro.

    The controller works as intended but it keeps disconnecting with a wireless connection to my PC. I have updated the drivers and restarted the computer and it still disconnects. When I use it with the xbox it doesn't disconnect.

      Hi Joseph,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. First, we recommend troubleshooting the issue with Xbox Support. If that doesn't help, one option is to invest in a Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, which may offer a more stable wireless connection than Bluetooth. Xbox Support may be contacted here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    let's face it these really should be the standard controllers that come with the systems. It's worth every penny, and works great on the PC as well. feels good in the hand, weight is good, programable triggers.

    Exactly what I needed. Just keep in mind this is the core remote so you will need the attachments separately.

    It allows you to remap the front buttons to the paddles in the back, which suits my playing style.

    If you have a normal controller your missing out. The paddles are a game changer. My only complaint is get the extra warranty. For some reason the right bumper seems to go bad alot just replace it.

    Amazing controller, I always forget to charge my controller and this never dies. The usb c charging makes it quick and the customization is incredible. From a gaming standpoint my wife still says I still suck at COD but it’s much better in my opinion.
