    The Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is a must for real gamers. With all the options, especially, multi-player settings and trigger buttons. You can modify the controller or just leave it as it arrives, either way a true gaming experience will happen.

    I had bought this as a refurbished product, I really did love the first elite series of Xbox controllers. After 3 weeks of use the controller analog stick is stuck going left and the B button is mapped to the A button somehow... I WOULD be able to remap it but the OFFICIAL Xbox accessories app doesn't support this controller and I do not have an Xbox so I'm stuck with default configurations. I'm returning this tomorrow. Pro: Bluetooth works flawlessly on my windows PC Build Quality is excellent Love the way it charges in the case Con: Can't remap on Windows 11 No longer functions after three weeks of use. I would purchase another but since I can't remap, I will be passing on that.

    Didn't realize this one didn't come with extensions and travel case like the black one I had purchased. Thought they were the same. Travel case isn't needed and extensions are only 15 so it was cheaper doing it this way.

    Terrible quality control, unresponsive buttons

    There are two main issues with this controller that I believe every single controller suffers from, just due to the design. First, unresponsive face buttons. If you're the type of person who grazes over the buttons at an angle with a lighter touch then I can guarantee you will have problems, especially with the Y and A buttons. I have yet to come across a Series 2 Elite that does not have this problem. Out of the dozen or so that I've played with literally every single one had this problem. If you're more of a masher type then you probably will not encounter this, this is an issue specifically for players with a lighter touch. I do not have this issue on the Series 1 Elite or the stock OEM controller. Second, this controller has massive dead zones, and it's a hardware issue not software. No amount of tweaking in the Accessories app will solve this problem, it's clearly hardware related. People who aren't sensitive to dead zones may not notice, but if you rely on precise analog sticks for shooters and such then this controller might drive you nuts. Also, no adjusting the tension in the analog sticks does not help. Many people are having all sorts of other problems, like faulty shoulder buttons, sticky face buttons, etc but I believe the two issues I outlined above are a result of the poor design and will plague literally every single controller, it's just that many people are button mashers or press the buttons at a 90 degree angle so they don't notice. I'm amazed more people aren't complaining about dead zones because that too is an issue I've seen on literally every single Series 2 I've touched, I guess I'm more sensitive to it than others. I absolutely do not expect Microsoft to resolve these problems. Their terrible 90 day limited warranty is a testament to how they don't stand by their own "pro" level products. Even Microsoft doesn't trust these controllers, why should you?
