    Best Buy employee was great. Price matched the controller with Amazon. Gave it 3-Stars because it had stick drift fresh out of the box. Thats a Microsoft thing though, not a Best Buy issue. Maybe consider a Scuff instead?

    So I bought two of these. One from Best Buy and one from Game Stop. For my 22 year old and 12 year old sons. I hate paying for controllers because they break them so easily but I read the reviews and they were all good. First day my oldest had it he dropped it down the stairs, spilled soda on it and it was thrown off the wall a couple times. Not a mark. Or scratch. Nothing. This thing held up through it all. Very well made. And the one from game stop was more expensive and that's the one my other son had and when we took it out of the box it was used and it wasn't supposed to be. Definitely worth the money as long as you buy it from Best Buy.

    The controller is great until it is not. It suffers the same plague as Elite One. The bumpers wear out. If you buy one, get the extended warranty, it will pay for itself guaranteed. You have to wonder how the stock controller will last forever, but the Elite will not last 6 months.

    Great remote. Pricey but worth it. Comes with a case that keeps it safe, a charging stand that prevents it from getting scratched when set on a surface, a really nice usb-c 9 footer, and all the stick and paddle accessories. Remote feels a little different from the original, but doesn't feel foreign. Love the adjustable triggers and the Xbox accessories app is very functional.

    Microsoft -Xbox Elie Wireless Controller Series 2 A complaint is it hits them together the trigger stop on each side fell off which is a weird thing it's happen for such a high priced item. Yes, you can even play and charge at the same time. The first series did have some issues. From wearing out thumb sticks to sprint/melee buttons

    The controller is great, responsive, and has all the bells and whistles you expect for an elite controller. I wish I had known that the mapping would be limited to the games.
