Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    I dont know how to describe it other than being amazing to use. The haptics are much better than standard controllers. It feels great in your hands and you can swap out the pads for new magnetic ones if desired.

    Elite Xbox Controller. Performs great. You can even go to Microsoft's site and build a custom one, (Not Cheap). It is fun to make a custom one. Buy one of these for you guests. (They Don't need the cool one).

    This remote offers great competitive play, as a halo guardians player this remote has granted me the edge over players that don’t own one. However after a month of use it started drifting and within days of drift it became unplayable now I have to wait for weeks without a remote and unable to play during this strictly at home pandemic going on. I don’t recommend the geek squad warranty I recommend sending to manufacturers as I have already payed 120$ within last 3 months just on returning and repurchasing warranty. Walmart offers 16$ for 2 year protection rather than 60$ of Best Buy. Best Buy geek squad warranty will void once item is returned and you will need to purchase a new one please be aware of this.

    Series 2 Elite Controller far from Elite

    Series 2 Elite controller powers off unexpectedly while gaming, This controller beware, do not buy because Best Buy only offers a 15 day money back guarantee. Then you would need to send off to Microsoft for repairs. Best Buy use to offer 30 days on electronics but changed it to 15 days. Sending to Microsoft is a pain, especially trying to contact support to get help with the issue. Microsoft claimed they repaired my controller only having to send it right back to them for the same power turning off issues. Microsoft is finally going to send a replacement controller to me. Amazon have a buyer beware for this controller stating that it has been frequently returned because of various issues.

    The control is amazing when it works but breaks down a little to easy. If you’re not using it daily it might last you longer than a few months before the bumpers fail or you get stuck drift.
