Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Bought this controller to be able to keep up with mouse and keyboard players. Got the controller was blown away with it. Now 20 days after receiving it the left joystick doesn’t work right (delays, get stuck scrolling) the right joy stick has creep in it and it’s not the sensitivity checked all that. Bought the 2 year geek squad to protect or fix the $200 controller and when I called and asked they told me the best they could do was store credit. I would love to just exchange mine and hope it was a faulty make but don’t have that option. You would think for $200 it would last longer than 3 weeks and no it hasn’t been stalled or dropped or anything else just seems to be bad/thin wires that are going out.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the left thumbstick on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's not possible to exchange the controller through Best Buy, Xbox Support may be able to help! We recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance under the controller's 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    The controller seems to have a dysfunction on the right joy stick. When I fully rotate I can feel an object keeping it from smoothly rotating 360 degrees.

    Good improvement coming from series one. Fits better in your hands. I would give it a 5 star but it started drifting 2 months after I got it. I'm sending it to Microsoft today for service. If you buy this, get the Best Buy service plan.

    Only worth buying with geek squad protection. Stay away if you aren't comfortable replacing this controller every 3-6 months.
