Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    Good condition, came with all parts. Some of the colors for changing the Xbox button don’t seem to work properly but that’s purely cosmetic.

    I regret updating to the Series 2. The Series 1 was better. I have had to replace this model 3 times now. Starts drifting and buttons stop working.

    The controller was beautiful after I bought it. A shiny new toy! You open the packaging, and sniff the brand new controller Like you would buying a brand new car! Now, using it on day one, the Y button is 50% responsive from input press, and sometimes the right bumper doesn't want to cooperate 80% of the time as well! fun times! premium controller! poor in the taste of actual usage.

    Drifting issue (of course). For the amount of money and the warranty from Microsoft and process of trying to return it its obvious not worth it.

    Poor quality. This is my 2nd elite series 2 controller. $60 dollar geek squad plan purchased with original controller. Returned controller because the right bumper stopped working and the trigger lock for the right trigger broke off so I returned it and got another one, paid another $60 for geek squad plan and the thumb sticks literally unscrew themselves while you’re gaming. Don’t waste your money

    The A button doesn't register half the time. It's a fine controller otherwise but unusable. I went through 3 before just getting a refund.

    Buy a regular controller. This is yet another Microsoft RIP OFF. No comparison to Elite series 1 controller. Works best as a default, any attempt to customize settings only makes game play worse.
