    After having this controller for a couple of months now & finally having a real opportunity to play with it, I realized that I don’t have everything that was suppose to come in the box. When trying to charge my controller I realized that I didn’t have a USB-C cable that was suppose to come included in the box. I am highly perturbed at this moment. Help!!!

      Hey there,

      We're sorry that you're missing the USB-C cable from your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging your controller for a new one. Otherwise, the good news is that the controller is compatible with any standard USB Type A-to-USB Type C charging cable. Best Buy has a few different options available.

      Hope that helps,

    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.
