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).

    Dont buy it. This controller doesn't feel as good or as responsive as other ones. Also it takes a couple presses before it registers some buttons. Not happy about that!

      Hello,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. This product has not been discontinued, though it may not currently be in stock at your local Best Buy location and that is why you were offered store credit. The good news is that its limited manufacturer warranty from Microsoft has been extended to one year. We recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance under the manufacturer warranty here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/controller-warranty

      Hope that helps,

    The magnetic sticks make the controller very inaccurate for FPS games. Would not recommend, stick to buying a Scuf for the same price.

    Left stick stopped working after 5 months with minimal use. Microsoft won't fix it because it only has a 90 day warranty, even though this is a known issue.
