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.

    I am glad I ended up buying this for my Birthday, this controller itself is what I needed to help me game better especially with the extra triggers.

    Best controller I’ve owned by far. Worth the price, BUT 7 months in after medium use (~500 hours?) and the left bumper is becoming inconsistent. It registers a press ~75% of the time and I expect it to keep getting worse. I looked it up and this seems to be a common issue unfortunately. I would expect better longevity for the price you pay.

      Hey Blake,

      We're sorry there's an issue with the left bumper on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. The limited manufacturer's warranty for this product has been extended to one year. We recommend contacting our team at Xbox Support for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/controller-warranty

      Hope that helps,

    This is the controller the system should come with. It’s fantastic, although I still find myself preferring the dual sense for its haptics.

    My only complaint is that it's heavier than standard controllers but it's understandable. Honestly I don't think I can go back to regular controllers.

    I’m still using it and it feels like it’s still new. I pretty much game most of the day. I like the custom profiles, so I can have it set for whatever game I’m playing.

    I already have the back paddles, so this is a nice replacement for broken elite controllers. Plus white is nice.

    I have the first elite controller. This is slightly better but with a rechargeable battery and tweakable sticks for tension. If you have discounts awaiting you(rewards), I highly recommend.
