    So I LOVE the elite controller. It’s great to use, has great features, and feels so comfortable. Definitely prefer it over the regular controller. I have had 2 in the last 3 years though because it is known for how easily it gets stick drift. I basically only play FPS (apex specifically), and the stick drift happens randomly and seems unfixable. Luckily, there is a warranty with microsoft for this so you can repair it but you shouldn’t have to repair a $200.00 controller that is always taken care of (placed in case every time after use and never dropped).

    I like the paddles but it took me time to get used to them. The controller has been disconnecting at random times every few days not sure if something is interfering with the signal. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. Random disconnects may occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Buy the warranty. This is my 3rd elite 2. Phenomenon controller but they get stick drift after months. The second one I bought did not even get much use and got it. Best Buy has been great with honoring the warranty at least.

    Great FPS purchase, but the paddles on the back are worth it. The linger sticks youd want to use for precision aim. Be wary of your LB and RB, most elite controllers' bumpers can be built a little weak
