    Series 2 Elite Controller far from Elite

    Series 2 Elite controller powers off unexpectedly while gaming, This controller beware, do not buy because Best Buy only offers a 15 day money back guarantee. Then you would need to send off to Microsoft for repairs. Best Buy use to offer 30 days on electronics but changed it to 15 days. Sending to Microsoft is a pain, especially trying to contact support to get help with the issue. Microsoft claimed they repaired my controller only having to send it right back to them for the same power turning off issues. Microsoft is finally going to send a replacement controller to me. Amazon have a buyer beware for this controller stating that it has been frequently returned because of various issues.

    So far it works great using it on my Xbox One X! Took a little getting used too but I think it’s a worthy investment especially if you play games on an Xbox or PC!

    This is by far the best controller you can buy for Xbox. It is so customizable, comes with a built in battery that last supper long and they even included a charging case for the controller.
