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.

    This is the second Elite Series 2 I have purchased. My first one held up well to a lot of gaming hours over the first 2 years.

    Love this controller. The best thing I would say is the rubber grips don’t peel and the battery last long before recharging

    Great controller. Some of the optional buttons feel cheap, but it creates an advantage with mapping buttons.

    I purchased one controller and had major stick drift right out of the box. Returned and exchanged 1 week later and still had and am having stick drift issues. Controller feels great in hand but for $200 should not be havibg any issues.

    Excellent customer service and an excellent extended warranty. Don’t be a fool get the extended warranty on all electronics. We have had to use it a few times in the last 2 years in various electronics and Best Buy has always treated us right on the replacement!!!

    I owned multiple type of controllers like, scuf, cinch gaming, etc but it doesn’t compete with an Elite 2 controller 100%. You’ll take your gaming to an Elite status.

    Broke after 2 months Warranty did nothing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The right bumper broke after two months. I had a 2 year BBY warranty. The controller is sold out at the store and online. So I left best buy with a broken controller and no replacement. They would not give me my money back. I called Microsoft for their warranty. They transfered me all around an I never got to the right department. I have to schedule a visit with Microsoft and drive to one of their stores if I want anny assistance. This is my 5th Elite controller that has broken. I switched from Sony to Microsoft because of Halo. I am getting the ps5 this year not the xbox series x or whatever in 2020. I have a photo of 3 of the 5 broken controllers surrounded by working controllers attached.
