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.

    Series 2 Elite Controller far from Elite

    Series 2 Elite controller powers off unexpectedly while gaming, This controller beware, do not buy because Best Buy only offers a 15 day money back guarantee. Then you would need to send off to Microsoft for repairs. Best Buy use to offer 30 days on electronics but changed it to 15 days. Sending to Microsoft is a pain, especially trying to contact support to get help with the issue. Microsoft claimed they repaired my controller only having to send it right back to them for the same power turning off issues. Microsoft is finally going to send a replacement controller to me. Amazon have a buyer beware for this controller stating that it has been frequently returned because of various issues.

    Somethings wrong with the joystick I didn’t get around to play with it and when I did I guess the receipt expired so I was not able to refund it or exchange it. Yeah it’s a bummer because it’s a lot of money and I really wanted to use a nice controller because I have tendinitis and carpal tunnel. Are used to really like Best Buy until that experience.

    Great controller for the first couple of months, but is known to have flaws with the bumper after casual use. My bumper went out about a year after I purchased the controller. If you want it some so very slight casual play, get it. Other than that I would find a different third party controller.

    Controller is fantastic, but i bought to use with my laptop on the road. Bluetooth pairing to laptop is horrible. Random disconnects, buttons doing double actions, and at times would just stop responding all together. Bought the xbox controller adapter and they fixed all.

    This is the second elite controller my son has got. Make sure to get protection plan since the back buttons have had issues. My son had to bring back and we looked it up online and seen lots of ppl have had same problem. Great controller but for price, protect it. We had a month or 2 before problem
