    Everything worked well. After using it for a day ish, the next day the bumpers quit working. Had to pay for warranty through Microsoft to send me another.

    Purchased this controller initially on launch (Nov. 4) and after dealing with quality issues on the first generation elite controller, buying the extended Geek Squad protection was a no-brainer. After 6 months i can say my fears were confirmed, my controller began suffering severe stick drift in my right stick and loss of registration in RB. It’s a bit embarrassing to have these issues only 6 months in, especially on a controller I spent $180 on. Now that my replacement is being shipped to me, all I can do is hope for the best. But you can bet your bottom dollar I bought that extended warranty again

    Like all Xbox Controllers, this is an overpriced cheap product that stops working correctly after a few months (stick sway, padel buttons not working). For the price these controllers have, there should be quality control! Don't believe me? Just browse the internet and you'll see how many people have issues with sway and bumpers. I though the elite would be higher quality. I was wrong.

    For this price it better be. Build quality feels solid, used it to beat Jedi Fallen Order recently and the adjustable thumbstick tension and trigger adjustments are nice touches for sure. I've used the pedal triggers but mostly I take them off, I haven't had that much of a use for them save for one game so far, Devil May Cry 5 and in that it was nice. The app is pretty straightforward as well.

    This controller is great however the upper right paddle came in defective. You have to click it down pretty hard for the upper right paddle button to register not like how you would regularly click it. I can hear and feel the click and everything, but it just doesn’t register. Other than that, this controller is an excellent choice

      Hi there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the upper right paddle on your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one. If that's not possible, you may also contact Xbox Support for assistance under the controller's 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck
