Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think by now we all know that just about 100% of these controllers have joystick drift. I hated to have to return this controller because of the outside build quality and materials used, but in the end if it can't function properly as a controller then it's useless. Not sure if there will be a new batch or version without these issues but this generation of controllers is the equivalent to the Xbox 360 in terms of Microsoft trying to sneak defects past consumers.

While this may be an awesome controller, it came with the A button Defective and the stores within 200 miles do not have one available to replace it.

Best X box controller. Being able to customize the buttons is fantastic. I have never been able to use the stick click functions on a regular controller. Being able to map them to the buttons on the back is great

Button presses not registering. Thought I'd roll the dice and be the chosen one but nope, the controller was detective immediately.

I've purchased two of these and the joysticks start drifting uncontrollably after a few months of use.

This is my 3rd elite series 2 controller and the A button is smashed in after i turned in mine with a warranty that had the exact same issue. Really would like my 180 dollars back feel completely ripped off.

My 2nd time buying elite 2 the first one started falling apart after 6 months never dropped or thrown one of the paddles never worked and there was a rattling inside the controller

I mean overall its a good controller BUT this thing breaks so much. Been through 2 of them in 2 years and they make you buy the warranty again. I should just be able to continue on with my old warranty, costs $70 each time! Debating if I should purchase the warranty again or just have them replace it with a new one. I never throw my controllers or hit them either. 1st one the AUX input stopped working and the 2nd one that I am now the left bumper is unresponsive at times. 50% chance it works whichs is extremely annoying.

I have been gaming for a long time. This is the first time I have ever bought a second hand ( refurbished gaming controller for the Xbox series X ) My order arrived quickly with the package in good condition. Although upon opening it up. Allowing it to get a significant amount of charge in it. Powered the controller on and I immediately realized that the right bumper was not responding as it should

It worked great initially! Was skeptical of the bad reviews you can find when googling this product. That said, the joystick no longer works. There’s a significant delay when pushing up. I will be replacing mine. I’d highly recommend looking elsewhere or purchasing the geek squad 2-year plan. Although, very costly. I’d also suggest looking elsewhere for a paddle controller more reliable. Fortunately (or unfortunately), mine broke within the warranty timeframe.

it will break before you know it, it took less than a year for it to break and for the price, it's not worth it at all it's a trash controller

Unfortunately this was my second purchase of an Elite 2 and same issues. The quality for the price just isn’t there.

Controllers buttons are stuck, barely been used will have to return for a new one

came with a bunch of issues, don't know how this past any test to be sold.

X, Y, A, B buttons are awful. You have to press all the way down and even then, there the press may not register.

Worked ok for first day then stick drift major stick drift like literally the same day I had it

I’m on my 10th or so Xbox elite series 2 controller. They are great until they are not, which is why I have had so many. They usually start getting stick drift around 6-10 months in with normal use (avg 3-5 hour gaming sessions about 3-4 times a week). I always get the Best Buy protection and just come swap for a new one after it starts drifting, and just buy a new plan for the replacement knowing it’s going to happen to that one too. Wish they would upgrade these to TMR sticks to eliminate the drifting issues and this would be hands down the best controller to game on.

Honestly its not worth it expensive mine cane broken just get yourself a jormal fontrooler save yourself the extra money trust me.

Awesome controller. Has so many different settings to make your gaming experience more competitive. Faster trigger, faster look speed, more precision aiming in shooting games. Highly suggest buying one

This an extremely comfortable and useful controller. Unfortunately, the durability is a different story. Stick drift and button malfunctions are extremely common within the span of a year. Borderline UNACCEPTABLE build quality from a $200 controller.
