Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    Loose sticks and stick drift out of the box, bumpers wouldn't register. Paddles are nicer, but that's really the only improvement I noticed. Series 1 was way better.

    Poor quality for money

    Major quality issues persist. For a $180 controller these should be lasting at least longer than the normal $60 xbox controllers. Started out with returning multiple for out of the box malfunctioning parts. Finally got one in my hands that worked. After a few months of use ran into issues with the LB button registering multiple clicks. Then later on the stick drift came. Poor quality from Microsoft with this controller. Not worth your money.

    A little small for my hand but it feels amazing. Love how grippy the thumb sticks feel and how good the triggers are.

      Hello there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, but sorry to hear there's an issue with the B button. 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 had the Series 2 when it first came out and after many hours it needed replacing. This is good but for some reason when clicking the left trigger to aim, it clicks in and out on the screen while you’re holding it down.
