Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    It’s hard to recommend this controller especially at this price. After about six months it developed significant stick drift, just like it’s predecessor. Since then, Microsoft has replaced it twice for me, which I’m grateful for since it was $200, but that window is now closed and when it inevitably starts drifting again I’ll be out of luck. If you can get it on sale and you don’t mind repairing it yourself, maybe it’s worth buying, but if stick drift is a deal breaker for you just walk away.

    This control is good enough for the average try-hard. However, there are some issues with the “A” button and for some reason this controller does not respond well with Gears of War 5.

      Hey Reyna,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry to hear there are a couple issues with it. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so 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,

    I love these controllers and series 2 improves on the original in every way. Unfortunately, my left stick is now getting stickdrift but, that's why you buy the replacement plan.

    This is a very high quality, hefty feeling controller. I really do like the paddles on the rear, however I do not use all 4 that were included. Also the charging case as the charging station is cool too.

    Love the second generation of this controller. Awesome product. Love the ability to put resistance on your paddles while playing games. Rumble packs in the controller can not be beat. Highly recommend

    My thumbs used to hurt from clicking in the sticks when sprinting. I map L3 and R3 to paddles and my fingers are thanking me. I had the elite 1 and good grips pealed off. This one isn't supposed to have that problem.
