    When I read people controllers were drifting in reviews I figured maybe they were just hard on the controllers or sat on them or something but I've had mine less then a week and used it 3 times at maybe 30 mins each time and placed it in case each time and while going to bathroom with controller on countertop I noticed menus scrolling left rapidly. I returned it today and bought 2 controllers and mamba edition nba2k21 for less then controller alone. Sad thing is controller feels great.

    It's the Elite model with a few extra additions. It still eats batteries quickly, but if you need it you put up with it.

    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.

    Great controller. Love the weight and rechargeable battery. Only downfall is that after so many hours of use the joysticks get drift. I’ve replaced mine with my Geek squad warranty twice now.
