    Buy a regular controller. This is yet another Microsoft RIP OFF. No comparison to Elite series 1 controller. Works best as a default, any attempt to customize settings only makes game play worse.

    I bought the controller brand new. I hardly play my Xbox since I have a PC and mainly play games on it. I used it a couple (3-4) times, but within 3 months, it would no longer charge or power on.

    For an item that is half priced of the whole system. This is absolutely not worth it. * Brand new item broke within a couple of weeks. (Replaced) * Open box item, also not functional. * I was advices to get this remote as original is wildly inferior.

    Open Box Is Trash!

    Purchased the “open box” version in store twice. Both were marked as “excellent condition” with all accessories included. The first one was missing the charging block. The second one has a broken right bumper. I’m 0 for 2. They’re doesn’t seem to be any quality control and they’re definitely not tested before being resold. Beware of the open box controllers!!

    This controller broke within 3 months, it would power off suddenly while playing. I had geeksquad and returned it and got my money back because they were out of stock and could not get a new one.

    Purchased few months ago online as a “open box certified inspected” worded perfectly to give buyers ease of mind upon purchasing. Few months down the road remote fails was told to go threw manufacture and was told when I purchased warranty was almost expired 150.00 down the drain NEVER AGAIN.

      Hello there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with drift on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
