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.

    Xbox Elite Series 2 - Open Box Scam

    |

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ordered the elite controller as an open box item in “excellent” condition. Upon opening the box, the first thing I noticed was how filthy the controller was. There was dirt and skin particles on the triggers and in the grooves of the controller. This controller had been well used prior to being resold by Best Buy. Not only was it disgusting, but the right bumper was broken. I took it back to the counter and asked for another open box they had. Upon opening the box, the same story. A dirty controller, but this time the left trigger was broken. I again returned the item, and was told by the store clerk: “Yeah, don’t ever buy open box items from Best Buy, especially controllers. There’s a reason they were returned”. So, Best Buy is knowingly reselling broken items. Buyer beware.

    I pre-ordered this and loved everything about this controller. But I had to return mine because both sticks would not stay up perfectly straight - there was always some input being sent no-matter-what way they were leaning. I'm sure I would love one that is made correctly!

    Purchased an open box that was supposed to be in excellent condition. The look of the device looked well used and the right bumper was not responsive to anything other than a hard press. Had to return it to being unusable.
