    Purchased an open box that was supposed to be in excellent condition. The look of the device looked well used and the right bumper was not responsive to anything other than a hard press. Had to return it to being unusable.

    Have inconsistencies to working correctly. Buttons not reacting to presses and actions all the time. I have one that i still have that works but 2 others for family members did not work correctly right out of the box. This really needs some attention from Microsoft.

    Do Not Purchase An Elite Controller From Microsoft

    Really disappointed with Microsoft. Two defective controllers, and their support system was little to no help. This whole product line has been terrible from Microsoft, with a whole bunch recalled due to analog stick drift previously. Quality control has not improved at all since then. At the very least, Best Buy was great about organizing a product exchange for the first defective one when Microsoft failed to hold up their end of the bargain and the following return of the second defective one. Feel good about buying through Best Buy, but definitely avoid this product.
