Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    To be honest, i could not play xbox without this controller anymore. Once you use this controller you wont want to go back. The backpedals make gaming so much better. You can customize any button to your liking via accessories app on xbox. The only Issue i have with this controller is the triggers, after some time of use the trigger have become sticky which becomes annoying to use after a while.

      Hi there,

      We're thrilled that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Series 2 has enhanced your gaming! It's great to hear that you're a fan of its many customization features, too.

      Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. If your Elite 2 is still within its warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support about the trigger issue here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Love the adjustable triggers the most on this controller, super easy to clean and has definitely made an improvement in my gaming. Less reaction time on trigger engagement makes every second count, been great controller so far with no complaints

    i had issues with the rubber grip pads always coming un glued after time and thanks to the black tie warranty i was able to replace regularly!, thank you best buy! now this #2 elite edition seems well made and the rubber grips seem like they are built in! love the feel, but only time will tell if the grips will loosen up. GOT the best warranty in the business again, (just in case), Bestbuy Black tie warranty ROCKS!
