Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

      Hi Rocky,

      We're delighted that you're loving your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Random disconnects can occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. If you're still experiencing this issue, we recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://aka.ms/AA4w2z7

      Hope that helps,

    Stick Drift Issue and Poor Customer Service

    The design defect with the "stick drift" is more than real. I've had this for less than a month, but the stick drift issue came about almost 2 weeks in. The characters move on their own and there's no way to stop it in the settings of the control. I reached out to BestBuy and they can't replace it because they don't have an adequate stock supply. (According to the customer service rep). So I guess, they have an adequate supply to sell, but not to replace defective ones? It's a poor catch-22 for such a reputable company.

    A great controller while nothing is broken. Even with lite use, some part always seems to break. I am on my second elite now.

    The controller is nice. There seems to be a drifting problem with the joysticks and for the price of this controller that is a bit of a disappointment.

    I’ll just stick with the regular Xbox controller. This over complicated engineering disaster has been wanting to throw it across the room like a Nintendo controller.
