    I will only buy my controllers from Best Buy utilizing the Geek Squad 2-year warranty, because they will not last that long anyways. This is my third Elite Controller. The others failed due to irreversible stick-drift. For such an uber expensive item, I wish they would address critical failures like stick-drift and button sticking. If not for that, I’d give it 5 stars.

    Buy at your own risk. I bought this controller a year ago. The first one I got had an inconsistent A button. I returned it for a replacement to Best Buy. The replacement had the same issue. I mapped the A button to another button and was able to deal with it for a while. I sent it back to MS for repair. They had it for 2 weeks when it came back, same issue. Then it started to just turn off in the middle of a game. This happens at least once a week now even when the controller has a full battery. This would be a great controller if it wasn't so unreliable. I will say when the controller works it is great. Best controller I've ever used, unfortunately it doesn't always work.
