    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.

      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,
