Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    The controller itself is great buy it. What’s not great is having to go to 3 different best buys just so that they can say oh the one we have is a refurbished one and looks like a dog chewed it all up. If I’m paying for a warranty I expect my closest Best Buy to have the replacement not one that’s an HOUR COMMUTE from my house!!! Pathetic!

    I’ve had this controller for over a month now and it’s absolutely perfect and worth the investment. This is the best controller you can get on the market.

    My son loves the controller for the adjustment capabilities. Def a little pricey. I just hope it won’t suffer from the drifting issues reported/class action suit.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that your son is loving his new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. While we don't anticipate him having any issues with it, every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty. If he runs into any issues, please have him reach out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Best controller I've had hands down. Also, without fail, somethings eventually breaks on it. First one it was a trigger, second it was a joystick, third one a trigger again. Get the warranty, it's totally needed.

    First of all, I do not know why no Best Buy’s carry this in stock ANYWHERE. So with the warranty thankfully they replaced my controller. However, I had to leave my controller with them on Monday morning and they told Me I would receive it by Friday June 27th.. on Saturday i received and update saying I won’t get it until Monday ! Thankfully I was home on Monday when they delivered it and my pck age was not stolen !!!!

    Very disappointed with these controllers. I purchased two in total, the first one right out of the box had stick drift. So I returned it and replaced it with another. It also had stick drift.

    Excellent customer service and an excellent extended warranty. Don’t be a fool get the extended warranty on all electronics. We have had to use it a few times in the last 2 years in various electronics and Best Buy has always treated us right on the replacement!!!
