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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    This is better than the original and has add on features, but you do pay a premium for the color which seems excessive.

    They made subtle tweaks, but they’re all an improvement over the last generation. Still a much better value than the latest Scuf.

      Hello there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Its design is inspired by fan feedback of the original Elite controller, and with durability in mind, so we hope you get a lot of use out of it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

      Happy gaming,

    I want to love the controller...

    I was so excited to upgrade my series 1 with the series 2. I never had a single issue with the series 1 for almost 2 years. But I'm on my 3rd series 2 controller after multiple returns and this one keeps disconnecting randomly even with a full battery. All 3 series 2's I have had in the past week also have a loose dpad. It tilts to the left, so there is "empty space" when pushing to the right. And now when I have to return it yet again, the store is now sold out. I want this controller. I just wish it would be a "$180" controller.

    After receiving the open box product which was allegedly labeled as excellent, i really enjoyed how responsive the controller was. I quickly noticed that the internal battery no longer held a charge since the controller would immediately lose power once disconnected from a charger.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with button responsiveness on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one. But if that's not possible, every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty. We recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck,

    This is a customizable XBOX controller with back paddles and built-in rechargeable battery. Highly recommended but I suggest to purchase when on sale (discounted) price.
