    [Employee of bestbuy] Mine seems to have worse battery life than my elite series 2 full kit (not core) does. Works fine, but battery seems terrible

    Gift for grandson who has CMT that effects the nerves in his hands. This controller has increased his ability to be competitive and he now enjoys game playing and communication with game players world wide. I understand it is compatible with the new Xbox coming out in November.

      Hello there,

      A brand new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 sounds like a wonderful gift for your grandson! We're glad that it has enhanced his gameplay experience, too.

      It's true, this controller will be compatible with Xbox Series S/X when they release this November! Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Excellent build quality and many many features. Real improvement on the first gen controller. 3 controller profiles are a real plus, and the paddles are no longer in the way. I would strongly recommend this to someone if they are some who play regularly.

    This is my second controller, and it tends to wear out as you use it. I would recommend a credit card that adds a warranty or pay for a warranty for when it breaks

    Series 2 Elite controller is much better that the original. while the grips are a bit slippery when you first pick it up it much better than the old grips that fell off within a month. heads up accessories from the first elite controller are not useable with the series 2.
