    The elite 2 is the best feeling controller I have ever felt. The hair triggers are amazing and the ability to adjust the tightness of the sticks is incredible would highly recommend this controller

    I’ve been using the series 1 for about a year now and was seriously impressed with series 2. The drift is starting to show but as with any controller purchase it’s recommended getting the warranty extended through Best Buy.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry that you're experiencing an issue with thumbstick drift. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. 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

    Elite controller for the clueless shopper

    I only got this model because I needed a replacement and my store was out of the "pro" version. When they say "core," they mean what you see pictured is what you get. The biggest draw to the elite controller is the customizable parts and additional mappable paddle buttons. None of that comes with this.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m also not quite sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. It is pure perfection in your hands. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    Got this new Elite to replace my other cheap Microsoft controllers. You can tell they put a lot more effort into the manufacturing. Easy to setup and bind keys on different profiles. I’d buy this again even if expensive.

    Wouldn’t use anything else but I feel like they get worn out way too fast and often. They need to be made with better quality. If you’re going to purchase it, but the warranty with it.
