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.

    Have been through about 3 or 4 of them. Each of them having their own issues. From not correctly connecting to the xbox, to a button that would only responded once in a while when pressed. Microsoft definitely could have ironed out all these kinks after the first generation one.

    With this being the 2nd generation, all the bugs and defects should be worked out, right? Right out of the box, sticky A button. After some research online, I was not the only one. C’mon Microsoft. Best Buy retuned my purchase price without question. Thank you.

    Series 2 Elite Controller far from Elite

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

    Series 2 Elite controller powers off unexpectedly while gaming, This controller beware, do not buy because Best Buy only offers a 15 day money back guarantee. Then you would need to send off to Microsoft for repairs. Best Buy use to offer 30 days on electronics but changed it to 15 days. Sending to Microsoft is a pain, especially trying to contact support to get help with the issue. Microsoft claimed they repaired my controller only having to send it right back to them for the same power turning off issues. Microsoft is finally going to send a replacement controller to me. Amazon have a buyer beware for this controller stating that it has been frequently returned because of various issues.
