    Elite series 2 is the best controller I've ever owned, and getting the protection plan from Best Buy (I have total tech now, so it's included in every purchase at no extra cost) was a no brainer!

    Came in excellent condition. Not a single blemish and the controller itself performs amazingly. Got some heft and you really appreciate the fine tuning freedom.

    The xbox elite series 2 controller is a lot more comfortable to hold then the original elite controller. The controller comes with it's own charging base and the controller has a built in rechargeable battery and bluetooth. It's an all around great controller.

    Bought the controller as a refurbished product yet it still seemed brand new when I got it! Controller still has no issues after having it for roughly a year. No stick drift!

    Overall, a really good controller. The grips are much better. The even smaller hair trigger is awesome, and I really love the tension adjustable sticks. Cons: The stick are slightly wobbly out the box. The controller seems to disconnect from the xbox every now and then for no reason.

      Hey there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying the improved grip and responsiveness of your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Random disconnects can occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://aka.ms/AA4w2z7

      Hope that helps,
