    Great controller but too pricey. I bought this controller a few years ago but replaced it under the warranty 4 times because the buttons stop working properly. Because of the price the warranty is expensive also so it becomes not worth it when you buy a new warranty every time.

    This is my third elite controller. I had one for my pc and xbox but i love it so much that i bought a second rather than going back and forth. Then I bought one for my son because he kept taking mine. These controllers are solid and well crafted.

    Broke a previous one after rage quitting, so I decided to upgrade. I like how everything is adjustable, I feel like it has improved my gaming experience big time. I never want to go back to the original controller.

    To be honest, i could not play xbox without this controller anymore. Once you use this controller you wont want to go back. The backpedals make gaming so much better. You can customize any button to your liking via accessories app on xbox. The only Issue i have with this controller is the triggers, after some time of use the trigger have become sticky which becomes annoying to use after a while.

      Hi there,

      We're thrilled that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Series 2 has enhanced your gaming! It's great to hear that you're a fan of its many customization features, too.

      Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. If your Elite 2 is still within its warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support about the trigger issue here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck
