No, I would not recommend this to a friendOpen Box Buyer Beware!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will never purchase another open box item from Best Buy! I purchased Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S - White in the open box EXCELLENT. The item came without any accessories. When I called Best Buy's customer service I was told I couldn't return the item I would have to go to the store and when you purchase open box items there is no guarantee all the accessories will be included! However if you check on the website it states that in EXCELLENT condition all accessories are included. Clearly they don't honor what they state. I now have to waste gas money driving back and forth to the closest store. Buying the open box didn't actually save me any money. I expected better quality from Best Buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendQuality not as good as series one
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dropped it one time and L3 broke. The analog sticks from the series one controllers also offered better options.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible product. Joy stick no longer works after just 3 months. It's really unfortunate I cannot get a refund for such a poorly made product.
