    When the controller works as intended, it is fantastic. I am on my third controller now; the first Microsoft was replaced due to losing connection randomly, the second I replaced due to stick drift. Now on my third, just outside of warranty, the controller has again developed terrible stick drift on the left stick rendering the controller useless. The stick drift is so bad you can not navigate menus!

    good Hardware, SERIOUSLY FLAWED software.

    The hardware is good. But the Software needs SERIOUS work... Connecting to this controller is a nightmare if you expect it to work seamlessly between different connection types. If you have paired the controller with Windows, it's fine. But if you need to configure the buttons using the Windows App, you need to connect it with USB. And doing so, pretty much deletes the wireless connection. you will have to delete the controller from your Bluetooth Devices, and then re-pair EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME you do this. Seriously flawed.

      Hello there,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. One workaround for keeping your configuration settings when going wireless is to get a Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, which will allow you to have a wireless connection on your Windows 10 PC without the need for Bluetooth. Please go here for more information: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-10-black/6253924.p?skuId=6253924

      Hope that helps,

    With the toggles on the back, it frees up your thumbs for all movement. Great for FPS games, but also find it useful for Elder Scrolls Online, Smite, etc... Highly recommend for all gamers, don’t have to be a pro to use this controller.
