    They must use poor bluetooth modules on these. Had to return three in a row. Bluetooth continuously disconnected on both PC and console. I even bought a bluetooth dongle and had no luck.

      Hey Kevin,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the trigger buttons 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. If that's not possible, please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance under the Elite 2's 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

    Left stick drift within 2 months of ownership. This is my 3rd and possibly last Microsoft build controllers because of them breaking. I have not dropped or mishandled any of my controllers. I don’t have good strength in my hands so I’m certainly not man handling them.

    [Employee of bestbuy] dont purchase the protection plan.they updated the policy to where you have to send off the controller for “services” no matter the issue… no more easy replacements.

    As I opened the item it looked great. And in good condition. But upon use and checking diagnostics through the xbox accessories app. Found that it hadn't been thoroughly check for problems. And had a right bumper button that was not functioning or reading on the system itself.

    This thing broke within the first five months. I do not throw, slam or even drop my controllers. The right bumper stopped working first, then the left. The only reason I haven't used Best Buy protection plan yet is COVID. I would not recommend this controller to anyone.

    I love this controller but unfortunately the right trigger always starts to stick. I've literally had it since sept 18th n it is a month n a half later n its sticking once again. I take excellent care of it n never have sticky hands at all. Just another crappy product

    Great controller except for the fact that it already has mechanical issue with thumb stick drift. For the price it should be much more reliable. Can’t say I would recommend it (I didn’t buy the extra warranty figured it was a solid product and didn’t need to spend the extra money) .
