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.

    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.

      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,
