Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Love this controller, BUT i do wish they lasted longer. this is my 4th or 5th elite controller. For the price they charge it should be much more durable.

    Same controller as the regular elite 2, just newer. And hopefully they fixed the bumper issue with these. Otherwise, very happy.

    originally bought the Turtle Beach Recon controller, but was having problems having it turn on my X Box. This on the other hand, had no issues. Also enjoy the interchangeable thumb sticks

    The xbox elite controller series 2 is amazing. They feel great in your hands and the quality is up there. A lot of customizable options and buttons. A little pricey but worth the price if you are a series gamer.

    I’ve been using the series 1 for about a year now and was seriously impressed with series 2. The drift is starting to show but as with any controller purchase it’s recommended getting the warranty extended through Best Buy.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry that you're experiencing an issue with thumbstick drift. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. If it's still within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Much better quality build than previous model and the internal lithium battery is too notch. Adjusting sensitivity of thumb sticks is nice touch and overall responsiveness seems better.
