    Wouldn’t use anything else but I feel like they get worn out way too fast and often. They need to be made with better quality. If you’re going to purchase it, but the warranty with it.

    I’ve been using the series 1 for about a year now and was seriously impressed with series 2. The drift is starting to show but as with any controller purchase it’s recommended getting the warranty extended through Best Buy.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry that you're experiencing an issue with thumbstick drift. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. If it's still within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    I love everything about this controller. It's a game changer. The custom options make playing FPS games a dream. My only gripe is that I didn't purchase one sooner. Highly recommend.

    Solid controller. Pros: - rechargeable long lasting battery - paddle sticks - exchangeable sticks Cons: - weight - can tend to cause some hand strain given location of paddles ( for me at least)

    Had this controller less than a month and the left stick is drifting. Will be returning for another one since I got the warranty. Hopefully the new one will not have that issue or button sticking issues.
