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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Good overall but the first one I got had a big dead zone in the stick. This is possible with any controller. Also prefered the size of the back paddles from the Elite 1 controller.

    I like this controller but it was too heavy for me. After years of using a Scuf with no rumbler packs, I did not like the weight. Too bad because I was looking forward to using this controller more.

    Solid controller for playing any game all day long. The interchangeable thumbstick and paddle shapes allows you to customize the controller any way you like. A must have for shooter games. Also come with a great carrying case.

    good Hardware, SERIOUSLY FLAWED software.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The hardware is good. But the Software needs SERIOUS work... Connecting to this controller is a nightmare if you expect it to work seamlessly between different connection types. If you have paired the controller with Windows, it's fine. But if you need to configure the buttons using the Windows App, you need to connect it with USB. And doing so, pretty much deletes the wireless connection. you will have to delete the controller from your Bluetooth Devices, and then re-pair EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME you do this. Seriously flawed.

      Hello there,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. One workaround for keeping your configuration settings when going wireless is to get a Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, which will allow you to have a wireless connection on your Windows 10 PC without the need for Bluetooth. Please go here for more information: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-10-black/6253924.p?skuId=6253924

      Hope that helps,

    When the controller works as intended, it is fantastic. I am on my third controller now; the first Microsoft was replaced due to losing connection randomly, the second I replaced due to stick drift. Now on my third, just outside of warranty, the controller has again developed terrible stick drift on the left stick rendering the controller useless. The stick drift is so bad you can not navigate menus!

    With the toggles on the back, it frees up your thumbs for all movement. Great for FPS games, but also find it useful for Elder Scrolls Online, Smite, etc... Highly recommend for all gamers, don’t have to be a pro to use this controller.
