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.

    I want to love the controller...

    I was so excited to upgrade my series 1 with the series 2. I never had a single issue with the series 1 for almost 2 years. But I'm on my 3rd series 2 controller after multiple returns and this one keeps disconnecting randomly even with a full battery. All 3 series 2's I have had in the past week also have a loose dpad. It tilts to the left, so there is "empty space" when pushing to the right. And now when I have to return it yet again, the store is now sold out. I want this controller. I just wish it would be a "$180" controller.

    This is better than the original and has add on features, but you do pay a premium for the color which seems excessive.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with button responsiveness on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one. But if that's not possible, every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty. We recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck,

    They made subtle tweaks, but they’re all an improvement over the last generation. Still a much better value than the latest Scuf.

    My husband and I both bought one of these. They’re a little more sturdy than the gen 1 elite and a tiny bit quieter when vibrating. I like that a lot. No complaints. I think everyone should buy one.
