      Hey there,

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

      Hope that helps,

    NOT WORTH IT

    Bought it on 1/8/2020 and its already broken on 1/30/2020 the left stick will only work when pushed up 3/10 times. Bought the protection that we paid $39.99 for to get it replaced and now i have to spend an extra $39.99 to protect the next one. Just buy a regular controler. Theyve lasted much longer and are exponentially cheaper to replace.

    Controller worked fine until the LB button wouldn’t work. LB and RB buttons not working over time, is a known issue. Usually craps out after the warranty is done.

    Attempted to purchase a “Like New” used controller but the controller was in terrible condition. Unlikely somebody actually inspected it before determining it’s “like new” condition.
