    It's a well-built controller from Microsoft that helps give you the edge for competitive gaming. Would highly recommend.

    I started out using the first Elite controller. It lasted for several year before I replaced it with the Elite series 2. After about a year and a half the left thumb control stick stared drifting. I replaced the first Elite series 2 with this controller.

    I like the controller a lot but I got two bad ones in a row. The bottom left paddle button came loose right out of the box, and this is the controller I got in replace of the first one, which had bad bumpers. I hope I did not get a refurbished device....

      Hey there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the bumpers on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If you haven't already done so, we recommend exchanging it for a new one through Best Buy. If that's not possible, please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance under its 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Best controller ever made. Period. Reassign the usual controls to back paddles or create a macro for a quick one button press that would have taken 2 button presses to accomplish, like going from standing to laying down without stopping at crouch

    Quality control issues, buttons don’t always register.. primarily LB or RB on my controller. For the most part works well, but do yourself a favor and either buy a warranty; or wait until the next version is released. This gadget is too expensive to have to deal with delayed or non-responsive buttons, and joystick drift seems to be an issue with Minecraft; especially when used on PC.

    I love playing my Xbox and my elite 1 started to have stock drift, so I figured I’d upgrade since it’s been a while. Got this baby in pretty fast Best Buy was great all things considered but the product came defective out the box. Now I dont know what the process is to return this now that COVID-19 is upon us, but I’ll tell you guys what was wrong out the box. The A button is non responsive a lot and it’s frustrating when I press it to no avail. The controller always disconnects from my Xbox everyday for a random moment. I love the elite controller idea but part of me thinks I should’ve went with a different company like scuff or Astro.

    Knocked off a star because value isn’t great unless you already have accessories. As a controller it works well. I like the color vs. all black.

    Get the edge over the competition. My only gasp is that it doesn’t come with the alternative buttons for below, their competitors did.
