    This is my review for having it over a year. If your lucky . It started out and a amazing controller coming from a regular one and as time went on it’s functions became comical. Once out of warranty form Microsoft it’s bumpers would be non responsive and then the back paddles wouldn’t click and finally the triggers fully quit.

    Xbox Elite Series 2 - Open Box Scam

    |

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ordered the elite controller as an open box item in “excellent” condition. Upon opening the box, the first thing I noticed was how filthy the controller was. There was dirt and skin particles on the triggers and in the grooves of the controller. This controller had been well used prior to being resold by Best Buy. Not only was it disgusting, but the right bumper was broken. I took it back to the counter and asked for another open box they had. Upon opening the box, the same story. A dirty controller, but this time the left trigger was broken. I again returned the item, and was told by the store clerk: “Yeah, don’t ever buy open box items from Best Buy, especially controllers. There’s a reason they were returned”. So, Best Buy is knowingly reselling broken items. Buyer beware.

    Great controller. Love the weight and rechargeable battery. Only downfall is that after so many hours of use the joysticks get drift. I’ve replaced mine with my Geek squad warranty twice now.
