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.

    The xbox elite controller series 2 is amazing. They feel great in your hands and the quality is up there. A lot of customizable options and buttons. A little pricey but worth the price if you are a series gamer.

    Much better quality build than previous model and the internal lithium battery is too notch. Adjusting sensitivity of thumb sticks is nice touch and overall responsiveness seems better.

    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,

    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.
