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.

    DO NOT BUY! They are advertising the FST-00008 model but what you actually get is the FST-00001 model which is riddled with bugs and issues. Get it from Microsoft directly and BUY the EXTENDED WARRENTY.

    Ordered the open box with excellent condition twice. The first one was dirty and the USBC cable was missing. The second one had a crack and both thumbsticks were missing.

    Excellent up until the thumb sticks seize. Coupled with controller drift, I’d recommend buying two normal controllers over one of these.

    Left stick doesnt click just a month out of warranty. For the price i would expect these to have a better build. I will try to replace the joystick.

    If you're buying this for competitive gaming or any sort of precise input gaming, don't. Google "Elite Series 2 issues," this controller has a plethora of issues. If you play any games that require you to press, hold, and release the A button, you'll catch the controller releasing the press while your thumb is holding the button down. (Playing the new tony hawk, I ollie randomly while holding A to go) googled the issue and TONS of people are returning this controller for similar issues.

    Went through 2 brand new controllers , both of them having stock drift out of the box. Had to return them the next day. It’s not best buy fault it’s mind blowing to know this has been a huge problem since day one of the elite 2 in 11/2019. And almost 2 years later Microsoft still hasn’t fixed the issues. Smh very disappointed in Microsoft as a company..

    I bought 3 of these controllers under the open box-excellent condition. All 3 have been damaged and not working. I picked up 2 of them so you can’t say it was UPS. If it’s not excellent don’t try to sell it as excellent. Super inconvenient.
