Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    I was not expecting to love this controller as much as I do. My experience with different games and how you can have 3 different types of settings for different games is awesome. You can also have the light different color.

    So far it's been fairly decent for it's price. however there has been a few issues with "A" and "Y" buttons not responding properly, I may have gotten a defective.. But otherwise it's been great with the amount of customization right out of the box.

    Great controller but too pricey. I bought this controller a few years ago but replaced it under the warranty 4 times because the buttons stop working properly. Because of the price the warranty is expensive also so it becomes not worth it when you buy a new warranty every time.

    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!

    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

    I was great until it wasn't. 6 months later multiple functions have stopped working (This is the 2nd controller this has happened to). Bit of a pattern forming. Controller is really nice, until it goes bad and then it is essentially pointless.
