Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    me and my son were looking forward to this controller. love the battery built in was having fun using it then the right bumper went bad. i have sent it out for replacement. as i was looking at my Microsoft page i saw my 1 year warranty had the wrong expiration date [4/20/20]! how does a controller that came out in November expire in April? i called up they said would be fixed and next day it showed expiration of 2/4/20 called back to hear them say they will try to fix but they changed the warranty to 90 days for a 200.00 controller. 1] they cant changed a promised warrenty after you purchase it still trying to get threw to them to fix it

      Hi there,

      We're sorry if there's any confusion over the warranty that comes with this controller. Unless you purchase an additional warranty through Microsoft or Best Buy, the limited manufacturer's warranty that comes with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is 90 days.

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Best quality controller you can buy. Even without the ability to assign buttons to the levers, the obvious high quality of the controller makes it a good choice, and if you can get it on sale, even better!

    Had to take the remote back the 1 st time due to a bad battery pack and wouldn’t hold a charge. But the second remote has been perfect. Color is cool compared to the all black elite controller. Would definitely recommend. is a bit heavy but no need to replace batteries. And the sticks can be replaced with shorter or taller sticks.

    Great Xbox elite 2 controller. The same great swapping thumb pads and sticks. Enhanced from the first one for professional gamers like me. I like the grip and feel. Looks really good with black color. I wish they have this in other color.

    Purchased for our Grandson for Christmas (Seemed to be in short supply at other stores). He really loves this controller because it has features that other did not. (Buttons, charging pack option, etc.). Hey, He's happy so we are happy.

    Is it expensive? Yes Is it worth it? YES. It's heavy which makes it feel sturdy, the paddles on the back add extra inputs (which I love) and the trigger locks are a godsend for shooters.

    The feel of the controller is nice(more premium feel over the older model). Interaction of the buttons is good. Bluetooth was no issue pairing up. The color layout is a lot more appealing(over the older model). I recommend for the upgrade
