Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Same problem with my older series one and for the money paid it should be a better product and at this point I can’t even believe they are getting away with pricing because a lot of other people have the same issues

    RB button is probably damaged. USB-c cable is missing. Controller is untidy. I don’t have any problem with the product but the seller Best Buy in Manassas isn’t serious. Totally angry of this purchase.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. When purchased brand new, it comes with a USB-C cable and should be clean. We recommend exchanging it for a new one through your local Best Buy.

      Hope that helps,

    After a year right bumper not responsive, works 1 out of 10. These controllers fall apart around the 1 year mark. Best Buy has an amazing warranty but the controller is never in stock!

    Given the price, AND the experience from the Elite series 1 there is no excuse for an even more expensive version of the product to be this broken. Again.

    Do NOT buy. Less than 1 year the bottom housing cracked. The bottom housing should be a stronger or thicker plastic. Waste of money.
