Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight.

Awesome controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I personally love this controller. The ability to program buttons and change the button press on triggers is perfect. I do wish it was cheaper.
I would recommend this to a friend Good co troller, gimmicky sale on Microsoft’s part
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initial purchase had controller drift right out of the box. Best buy exchanged it, and the new controller works well. I do find it insulting that a controller at this price point does not come with paddles. Seems very “nickel and dime”

A button sticking, brand new out of the box.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed here, literally drove about 25 miles to a location that had it in stock and came home to find out the A button was sticking brand new out of the box. Considering this is nearly a $200 controller and also spending $60 for a 2-year replacement plan. Now I'm in question if I take this back to return and get my money back, I'm out the $60 I spend on a replacement plan. If I take this back on the 2nd day of my purchase, will I be able to get my complete refund back (including the money I spent on my 2-year replacement plan)?? For anyone that is looking for a pro-quality controller, this may fit your needs but with the huge amount of complaints and findings of other folks having the same issue as me with the A button sticking, I would recommend getting something else, like a Razer controller.

Posted .Hello,
We're sorry there's an issue with your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, you should be able to exchange it without using your replacement plan. If that's not possible, you may also be able to have it serviced through Xbox Support under its manufacturer warranty. To get assistance through Xbox Support, go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution
Hope that helps,
