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.

    Two faulty controllers within first week of purchase! First controller: right stick very slightly off center towards the left. Faulty A button and wouldn’t register button presses on occasion, and require extra force to register unlike all the other buttons and my other controllers. Second controller: the connect button is rattling under shake or vibration like it’s missing a damper. Microsoft is terrible with hardwares. Best Buy customer support was very helpful.

      Hello Jack,

      We're sorry that there have been issues with your Elite 2 controllers. If you still have the second controller, we recommend exchanging it for a new one at Best Buy. If that's not possible, our team at Xbox Support can help. Please contact them for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/controller-warranty

      Hope that helps,
