Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    [Employee of bestbuy] The controller is built much better than a standard xbox controller. The sticks are also a huge improvement over the standard controllers.

    Great controller just wish they were a little more durable. Probably the best all around premium controller all things considered. Hall effect thumbsticks would make it essentially perfect.

    This is my son’s second Elite controller in less than a year. The first one had a button go bad after a few months of use. He really likes this controller even though it has way to many buttons for me to comprehend.

    Once you hold an Elite Series 2 controller, you will never want to hold anything else. The build, looks and feel are incredible. The controller also has great battery life - claiming over 40 hours of gameplay - although I never tested that theory, the battery life is VERY long. The customization options are great and every gamer should be able to find a button/layout combo that works for them. Downside is that one of the D-pads stopped responding to certain directions just as the warranty expired. After some research, this is not uncommon. C'mon Xbox, a $200 controller should NOT have simple quality issue.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you have been enjoying the great feel and features of Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, but sorry to hear there's an issue with one of the D-pads. The limited manufacturer's warranty for this product has been extended to one year. If you're within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
