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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    The controller is more responsive than the series one. I would recommend this controller as an upgrade.

    XBOX Elite Controller is TRASH!

    Xbox yet again builds a piece of junk! Do not buy these overpriced controllers. They are cheaply made and will need replacing within 3 months. This is my 6th Xbox Elite Controller in 2 years :( The thumbsticks will wear out within months EACH AND EVERY TIME! Not to mention the bumpers and buttons will all have issues as well. Xbox made it so it's very hard to replace the parts yourself. Save your money and buy just a standard controller. If you try to use the warranty to replace or fix your plastic junk of a controller, you will be without it for over 3+ months. DO NOT BUY THIS CONTROLLER!!!!!!

    Right Bumper Issues after 3 Months

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Apparently the issues with the bumpers failing has not been corrected. After only 3 months of less than 3-hours a day of play my right bumper only intermittently responds to inputs. I have since found out this is a known issue for this product. Without the ability to purchase a protection plan to cover this issue I would not purchase this product and even if there was a protection plan offered that covers this issues I would be hesitant to buy it. If Microsoft corrects this issue I'd probably have rated this product with 5 stars, because excluding this major flaw the controller is great and vast improvement over it's predecessor.

      Hey there,

      We're sorry that there is an issue with the right bumper on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty. If your controller is still within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance as soon as possible here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
