    This controller comes stripped of the paddles and the charging station which is fine. I already have that from the previous elite and it was nice to save some money.

    Works fine so far. No drift yet. I received a 01 model. So not the updated model. Still potential for issues.

    I bought the series one controller and had issues with 2 over time. When the series 2 was announced, I was ecstatic to be able to game with ease and with paddles, which I grew attached too. Months later, I started to experience controller drift in the left joystick, which is a horrible issue for practically every game. I hope Xbox puts better care in future products. TIP: if you buy, buy the warranty

      Hi Thomas,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with thumbstick drift on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Every new Xbox controller also comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Best controller I've ever used. The paddles in the back make it to where you don't have to take your thumb off the thumbstick.
