Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently highlight the comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality feel during gameplay. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Additionally, while many appreciate the design, some find the premium price point and specific bumper functionality to be areas for improvement.

    A button, Bumpers

    A button sticking, brand new out of the box.

    Disappointed here, literally drove about 25 miles to a location that had it in stock and came home to find out the A button was sticking brand new out of the box. Considering this is nearly a $200 controller and also spending $60 for a 2-year replacement plan. Now I'm in question if I take this back to return and get my money back, I'm out the $60 I spend on a replacement plan. If I take this back on the 2nd day of my purchase, will I be able to get my complete refund back (including the money I spent on my 2-year replacement plan)?? For anyone that is looking for a pro-quality controller, this may fit your needs but with the huge amount of complaints and findings of other folks having the same issue as me with the A button sticking, I would recommend getting something else, like a Razer controller.

      Hello,

      We're sorry there's an issue with your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, you should be able to exchange it without using your replacement plan. If that's not possible, you may also be able to have it serviced through Xbox Support under its manufacturer warranty. To get assistance through Xbox Support, go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    I dropped my Elite 2 on my tile floor and it was FUBAR. So I hopped on my BB app and saw there was a nice Total Tech deal for this fella. It’s just the base controller (no accessories) but my old stuff from my jacked up Elite 2 snapped right on. I was gaming in minutes. If you F’d your Elite 2 controller you can get this to replace it at a discount!

    amazing device. sticks are much tighter and more precise, adjustable resistance on triggers is very useful. i love the swappable sticks too. the long stick is great for precision aiming in fps games. the backpaddles are the best part. being able to do things like revive other players, reload, jump without having to sacrifice any measure of movement or control through moving a thumb off of a stick is huge
