Microsoft Elite 2 is NOW The BEST Controller For Xbox and PC!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- It has been a long time since I mentioned the Elite 1 or 2, because no matter how good they were, I couldn't recommend them due to quality control issues, with many shipping with stick drift and jammed A buttons. Fast forward and word on the street is Microsoft has tightened up QC at the factory, there is a new program for PC that unlocks some great features, and most importantly the Series 2 STILL has a couple features that literally no other premium controller has. If you own an Elite, or are considering purchasing one, I strongly recommend you watch the entire video.

Please share your experience with the Elite Series 2, positive or negative. If you have had quality control/breaking issues please mention when and where you bought the controller, and if you were able to get a replacement, and if so, how long it took to get to you. Also anything you enjoy or dislike about this specific control, feel free to shoot it in the stallion stable (comment section).
I've had my Elite 2 for about a year with no issues so far. But I'm slowly moving to KBM. I would appreciate a tutorial on how to set up and optimize a gaming mouse for beginners
You think the Elite is coming soon? ad btw, how is going your reliability test?
So what's the verdict, still holding up?
I agree this is the best premium controller in the market it does anything you need and the price beats it all 180$ nothing out there is this price
WORTH TO SELL FOR SURE, BREAKS TO EASY:= BATTERY DONT LAST, NOT DROP PROOF, NOT HIT PROOF IN HANDS, BLUETOOTH KILLS CONTROLLERS TO FAST, ALWAYS HAVE TO CHARGE IT.
Nice review. Convinced me. One thing, Bluetooth is in the 2.4ghz spectrum. The standalone 2.4ghz dongle has better latency because it uses efficient communication protocols that don't have to abide by the Bluetooth standard, which is prone to dropped packets and very noisy in discovery mode.
I bought a year old used elite 2 that looked great, even after reading all the bad reviews I just did it and never regretted it! Been using it daily for the past 4 months and this thing is amazing ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience .
@@GamerHeavenOfficial thanks for the videos ❤️
How's the BT functionality
@@prisai03 I only used it for the series X so not sure about Bluetooth
@@prisai03 BT works great for me. Used it with my phone and PC
I've never complimented you on how thorough and fun your guides are without going off on unrelated rabbit trails.
Glad you like them! That means alot to me, seriously.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial keep it up!
Great thorough video about your experience with the controller and also appreciate the the comparisions and unboxing of both the Elite 1 and 2. This will be my first elite controller so I had no clue how to set it up, but I've heard great things about the controller and definitely need a controller for my first person shooters primarily COD. Me being an IT I have no clue why I haven't went ahead and went the Eliter controller / Premium controller route (price I'm sure), but can't wait to create a profile for potentially other games that I may use the paddles and remapping of the buttons for. Appreciate your time and effort that you put into this video!
Awesome review, helped me pull the trigger on one. I loved the extremerate mods I did to my switch and will do the same for this.
Nice vid mate, literally found your vid right AFTER ordering one lol. I knew I wanted one, as I loved the first Elite, despite it currently an unusable mess, and it just seems like the best all round "decent" controller without going completely custom.
Thanks for the dongle plug. Just ordered one and used your link. Great content as always!
I recently purchased the elite series 2 core. I liked it so much that I ended up buying the component pack. 100% agree with you. This is definitely a great controller for pc. Great review! Also, I have not had any issues with this controller, i bought it in February 2023, at best buy, and it's been working out great!
THX now im going to this controller I've heard about scuff but it so expennsive and this controller fits it all
This is my first video I've watched on our channel, and I must say it was VERY entertaining!! I was looking for videos for this product as Im thinking of purchasing the Microsoft Elite 2. To use only the word entertaining would actually be a disservice to your channel. I found it informative, in depth, humorous and down right FUNNY AS FRACK as well as entertaining. I hit the like button within the first 2min of this video and even though most of the channels I subscribe to are for a particular game I play. I will subscribe to your channel and see what other products you reviewed and to see your reviews of products that I might want in the future. Please keep doing what you're doing!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have owned my series 2 elite since dec 2020. The first one I owned I had to exchange within the first month due to stick drift. I’m happy with it but just a couple weeks ago one of the slide switches on the back that changes the trigger push depth has snapped off. I didn’t even adjust them often. They were almost always locked in the same position and it fell off without switching it. Beyond that it is an excellent controller for gameplay. I originally used it with Xbox one X and then later my Alienware R10. If they make a series 3 I will probably upgrade.
I had all the rubbers fail on my elite series 1, including peeling grips, the abxy button pad and the thumbstick caps. I'm glad they seemingly improved that.
Bought the elite series 2 in late 2020. So far one of the best purchase's that k have made. No quality issues so far.
Wow, great video! And here I was pondering on which controller to get. I really might get the Xbox Elite 2 because of this
😆 GTA is one of the most important games to have paddles for imho (one pair for stick buttons and the other for play/start or bumpers). Nice overview and good news about the QC changes. I've had to return these that drift straight out of the box.
I bought my series 2 used for $100 from some dude on offer up. Immediately noticed stick drift but luckily the previous owner hadn’t even registered it for warranty so I was able to get it replaced for free and kept the warranty. Now a year later no problems and was able to get another free one before my warranty expired!
By far one of my favorite content creators. 10/10. Keep it up homie.
Thanks brother
I don’t comment much but this was the review I needed, been contemplating whether to get this or not, will be picking up today , thanks 👌
DON'T GET IT. It won't last long AT ALL. Over the years I've been hearing about the Elite controllers, I've NEVER heard of them lasting more than 3 months. Durability is TOP PRIORITY when it comes to controllers, ESPECIALLY when they're $150+. And compared to erry other professional controller, the Elite Series BY FAR has the worst durability
You're better off getting a RAZER Wolverine Tournament (Most durable controller on the market). It's a mechanical controller, which sounds a LOT like a mouse when clicking buttons. It has 6 buttons, 4 on back, 2 on the shoulder. It doesn't have the tension adjustments like the Elite, but it far more valuable features. It even has RGB
I bought my elite 2 when XSX comes out, the left stick starting to drift after 3 months ( replaced in 2weeks), second has right bumper issue after another 3 months and after that my 3rd controller is fine till this day. Even after this all adventures with service i must say no other controller is even close to elitev2. I change my sticks 3 times a day, charging this bad boy once a week and set everything i want in console app. Really if this device would not have this issues it would be a perfect controller. Love it
Love the controller but stickdrift and the bumbers registering twice or not at all after a short amount of time is terrible. It’s like a miracle bag I had to return mine 3 times already so congrats to everyone who got a well working controller
Watched because i really like my elite controller..subscribed!
Just got my 3rd one. 1st one had stick drift after 1 week. Second one I got in December and the bumpers quit working. So today I got my 3rd one. I REALLY like it. Just wish they lasted
Been using elite 2 for over a year on pc no issue at all. love it
I'm watching this because I just bought one in Walmart for $130, and I wanted a better explanation of what can I do, perfect 👌🏼 thank you for the video
The elite series 2 is hands down the best controller I’ve ever used.
I see alot of happy folks like you.
Time to start working overtime now so I can afford the halo elite 2.
I really really want one, but even the preorders are getting scalped which is ridiculous
@@Urbrainongaming I know man me too lol I’ve honestly been waiting for a halo elite controller for awhile.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial yeah I hate people sometimes lmao…. Well scalpers I hate scalper’s lol
i can get u a regular one for $70
Great video man! Thank you! With some coupons I can get this controller at Target for $117. Thinking about buying it!
I just bought it at Target for $119. Never used an elite controller b4 so looking forward to it and at that price I couldn't pass it up.
Thank you for this video, I was waiting for a elite 2 video from you. I‘m looking forward to your longs term review of this beauty of controller. I wanna buy it maybe in december but I‘ll wait for your review because I dont wanna spend 200€ and then getbad durability on this.
Thank you my friend :). Keep up the hard wirk and dedication. I can see that you have fun with it and got high quality content.
I don't recommend, unfortunately. I'm returning mine bc of stick drift and analog play
@@henriquefujitani Thank you for your comment. When did you buy your controller?
@@nomanrasool7424 Last week :(
@@nomanrasool7424 but I'm from Japan, I don't know if the controllers from US are different
@@henriquefujitani ok. Thats unfortunate, I‘m feeling sorry for you my friend. I hope you‘ll find another one and are a lot more happier with it. thank you for all the comments and recommendation
I just got my blue with the black grips controller and you’re right about the trigger and buttons. I like that brush metal blue look It does look good. It feels good to. I’m glad you told me about these newer ones now how can you make lights turn blue just kidding later
You know your stuff for sure this is where I come to check out new controllers and actually I watched like 30 of your videos trying to decide what new controllers I wanted to buy. But max stick tension on the right stick is wild imo makes it extremely clunky and hard to track for me.
I just need an explanation
Hey I really appreciate that and I’m glad you enjoy my videos
It's 2023 and I have to stay, still valid. Even after buying every other premium controller for the ps5, I still can't find something as great as the XSX2
*caveat; the XSX2 has crappy ergonomics for the hands, specifically for the middle finger on the left hand. If the sticks were symmetrical it'd be undoubtedly the #1 controller of all time.
As far as i know the first controller that had adjustable tension sticks was the Razor Onza Tournament Edition a few years ago . It was crap but existed ;)
I held off buying an elite for honesty a couple years bc of the bad reviews on the quality/durability. Bought one about a year and a half ago now and I'll never go back. I love it, absolutely 0 issues with mine lol. Maybe I just lucked out but it's still working like new. Only thing I dislike is the paddle layout bc I'm freakishly tall with sasquatch hands but if you're average human size I'm sure it'd be way better LuL.
I got my elite controller on release day before there were any quality control changes, my bumpers dont work and my left sticks click is mushy but even with that its still better than any other pro controller ive had
Can't wait for part 2 videos
My main issue is the non removable battery. With my Elite 1 I always play wired and take the batteries out making it a lot lighter.
Understandable. Having rechargable double A batteries you can swap is much better than having to play wired or surgically removing and replacing the internal battery and trying to find a replacement
The weight of the controller is part of the premium feel
I bought an Elite 2 Controller March 2019. Due to experience with MS Xbox controllers, I was wise enough to buy the GeekSquad insurance. Literally TODAY I shipped back my Elite 2 due to stick drift (which slowly started within months of usage) and the RB button was not working well. Is the one you have a newer version? I am hesitant to buy another.
Being ablee to map the whole keyboard to it opens up so many options.
Dude it really does, especially for RPG players with a gazillion keybinds for spells n stuff
Just got mine on a sale for my PC. 😍
how do you have that controller on the right of your tv in the middle light up and not see any wires.jeez, you do have a gamer heaven
I am just getting into pc gaming via laptop (not technically savvy) and will mostly play race car games and FPS's. I just bought a Lenovo Legion 7i and I'm trying to buy the best controller. Is the Elite 2 compatible with Windows 11 both wireless and wired? Is there anything I need to do for W11compatibility with little or no latency/delay?
Hey great video thank you! Also hows the xbox series s? im thinking of getting one since i cant find the series x anywhere
Love the content Kevin! Keep it up!
Ya Dowacka Doo lol
I've had the elite 1 since 2018 and it started falling apart the first-party batteries are hard to come by so I got the new one and it is very good, not worth the upgrade if your elite 1 isn't broken though
I really want to pick this up and maybe I will along with a warranty at best buy. If they do release the inevitable series 3 this year then I'll trade it up.
Bro it's been a while! I love the fact your using the expensive ass gears 4 elite controller as a reference lol. I actually just picked up a developers one for the price of 750$
Oh, did I mention I play nothing but gears 5?! Lol well now days anyways~ I used to be a cod, gears , halo gamebattles God & MLG tryhard
Any update on the controller issues? Would be interested if the statement that they had fixed these issues is true 🤔
I haven't had any issues since mid september.
I personally don’t like the grips on the elite series 2 only cuz they peel off pretty easily, I’m guessing because of the heat from your hands, mine peeled off after only 7 months lol and I took good care of mine so now it feels pretty cheap with those little gaps in the grips
I love this video!! Thanks for a great thorough review of the elite series 2! I was looking forward to this video I love this controller I play on pc and series X and it’s amazing for all games, I really enjoy your content and knowledge for gaming tech
QC still seems poor as of January 2022. Just bought a new Elite 2 directly from MS and it has some of the well-known issues out of the box: stick drift and A button not registering randomly.
I have used Elite Series 2 daily more than I'd like to admit since mid september. People keep saying it's buggy and will broke after 2 months. Any guesses when it is going to happen?
Janne Laitinen if it hasn’t happened already it should soon. My bumpers and a paddle stopped working correctly after less than a month. I’ll send it in for warranty because it’s the best controller I’ve ever used but I’m buying a scuf to see if I like it better (also so I have something to use while I switch out elite series 2 controllers every 3-4 weeks)
Agreed. Quality control is still very much an issue. I purchased an elite series 2 in mid December and 3 months in I’ve had the worst stick drift I’ve ever experienced on my left stick. This is coming from someone that takes very good care of their electronics and hasn’t had any major issues with any prior controller. The series 2 are just not built well
@@dhruvster10 Have been using Series 2 since early september (so 6+ months).
No stick drift.
@@UltraCasualPenguin Youre one of the lucky few then. There's a reason why it's regarded as one of the most unreliable controllers out.
It feels great, it looks great and it works great. The only complain that I have about this controller is that it disconnects very often. I found out that other bluetooth devices interferes with the controller's bluetooth causing it to disconnect. Tried to get rid of other bluetooth devices and I only connected the elite 2 alone to my pc, but it didn't resolve the issue. I had to use it tru wired connection from that point on. 🤦♂️
Get a USB dongle
@Juice buy a USB Xbox dongle and it litterally pairs to your PC the same way it does to an Xbox. Faster connection than Bluetooth aswell
Been waiting one for while now getting me one Monday off Best Buy definitely looking forward to getting me one ☝️
The title should clearly state that it's your opinion because in fact the microsoft elite v2 is plagued with issues relating to gamepad components failure. Stick drift being the #1 issue and some reports are immediate whereas other users are after a few months. I have gone through several over 2 years and if not for a warranty replacement I would have ditched the gamepad a long time ago.
I’ve had mine for a year and 2 months. Still going strong and perfect like the first day j got it. Just take care of your controllers and stop being dirty
Why would the title need to Say it It's his opinion, of course, it is dummy. It's his channel About his reviews What did you think this video Was sponsored by microsoft
How about a update on the reliability issues? Have you seen any starting to show there ugly head, especially the stick drift. I own 2 of these, one is a the beginning of the stick drift stage, the other, well it has been sent off and repaired twice now, for the stick drift, and it has been sitting in a drawer ever since. If they have upgraded, I would think about getting another.
Idk if it’s just me and the Elite series, but shoulder buttons for me had me go thru 3 of the Elite 1, and as for the Elite 2, 2* of them as well. It’s kinda ridiculous. Make the internal little tiny plastic hinges a bit better than a regular controller Microsoft.
What is the software you mention here? Couldn't find a video from you for the software review either, sorry if I missed it!
Hey Gamer Heaven
I really like your videos and they helped me alot but i still have a question (maybe some of you guys can help me out aswell),
so i had an elite series 2 which i liked so much but the bumpers stopped actually working after 6 months, i tried some fixes but it just got worse so i bought a new one. 1 month into my second elite series 2 the same thing started happening on my right bumper and its so annoying. So which controller should i get? All i really need is 4 rear paddles, triggerstops ( not necessary ) and it should be compatible with series s, do you have a recommendation?
are there 2 versions of the Elite Series 2 controller ? I see some release Dates to 2019, and some others release Dates 2021. any differences in reliability between the 2 ?
There is no "official" support for mapping keyboard commands to the paddles. However Steam fully supports this feature for the Elite where Microsoft does not. You would think Microsoft being a PC company would get on the case with this. Its a shame it seems to have to be done on a case by case basis. You cannot map the paddles on a Wolverine Ultimate in Steam and it kills me cause I love that controller. Razer's own remapping software sucks and is sloppy and inaccurate, (if only they would let you use a mouse, Razer I think you know mice better than most) you will tear your hair out remapping buttons at times.
lmao that what Microsoft did with the Logitech g920 left the rb and lb buttons unmapped Logitech couldn't map the buttons because there was no line of code to enable them
Does the series 2 have any significant change/increase in weight? I can imagine the unremovable battery pack making it more heavy than the series 1. Especially since personally, I play wired without batteries on my elite series 1.
Altough i can not give you a reply i fînd on the regular xbox controller the batery pack to be ligbter than 2 batteries
I never used the first, but it feels heavy but the feel goes away within a few hours. It's a great controller.
@@mycrease8936 Thanks! We'll see how it goes.
In my opinion the weight differences are minimal at best, I haven't put them on scales or anything to confirm this is just personal use. I do however notice the series 2 is *ever* so slightly smaller in my hands than the series 1. I do actually prefer the series 1 in this comparison, however it's not so much of a difference that I'll refuse to use the series 2 but it is something that is noticeable to me.
in the past all of my xbox controllers micro usb ports would stop working due to continuous use with my PC, i guess they would just wear out over the course of a month or two and the micro usb port would stop functioning... does the Elite Series 2 have the same issue? the Power A Fusion has a reinforced micro usb port, does the elite series 2 offer something like that as well?
They do not have fix the QC. Just bought a Elite series 2 in april 2022, looks like it was manufactured in week 49 of 2021, and out of the box, the 'A' button is not registering input 20% of the time except if pressed hard at 90°... I'm returning it
I’ve got a very serious question that frustrates the hell out of me….. when you click the stick and you rotate it, while the stick is clicke in, do you feel ractchet like bumps because in a game like r6 siege, it makes it unplayable. Also, does the scuf instinct pro do it too because I’ve returned 4 of these controller because they all do it, and j wonder if it’s on all of them. I would appreciate if you have the time to respond because I am in the market for a pro controller
I do have an elite 2 controller that I bought on release of my series X. I have played it ever since however I did get some issues. My controller top right bumper button isn’t as responsive anymore and the left is starting to go now as well. Often it requires a hard press to get the top right bumper to work. It really sucks because I play d2 and having my bumpers delaying often can get me killed. However I must note that my Elite controller has been put in its paces since 2020 and has handle it all perfectly. I am not sure if I can fix the bumper issues as blowing into the bumper fixes it temporarily but not permanently.
But all in all I do recommend this product and it is by far the best and more reliable pro controller. This isn’t the old elite controller that broke after one month.
A controller should last without issue longer than 2 years... especially at that price. The fact you would recommend it is crazy.
Do you have a link to the software you referenced at around 13:50 that can be used to map things for MMOs?
Just bought my second one the first one I had for about a year and a half before it started having stick drift and I play warzone religiously
Hey i have a quick question. Do you know if theres some type of weird aim acceleration on pc? I overclocked my elite series 2 but whenever I’m trying to aim on call of duty my aim is all over the place. It feels like some type of aim acceleration and I cant find anything online on how to fix it.
When i play on console I dont experience this. Only on PC with PS or Xbox controllers.
Hey Kevin!
I am struggeling with a issue that no one every talked about, with the Xbox series 2 controller. I hope you or your community can hell me out.
I was playing Apex Legends with my series 2 as i noticed there is a too big deadzone on my right Stick that covers all my micro adjustments... So i set the ingame deadzone to Zero... What happened was that the game went unplayable, without deadzone i had crazy moves in my aim... So i tried since half a year now to get that stickdrift "erased". I welded in some new potentiometer any weldes those extra pcbs onto it after testing the new potentiometer... With the New Jones i also had a minimal Drift, so i got that pcbs and adjusted it, all very fine.... After that i went to test it ingame.... The result was that i am able to go from 10% Deadzone to now 8% 🎉🎉😢😢😢
Meanwhile i tested this i have noticed a fully other issue that no one every talked about.... I would call the Problem... Tentionless Center of the Stick..... Because when i screw the tention from normally tight to loose i noticed that the tention in the Center of the Stick stays always tight.... So it feels like, there is a little "resistor" or "level" between the Center of the Stick and the outter zone.... Loosen or tighten makes no difference to it ....
If you ever heared about this Problem and maybe know how i can solve it, i would be very thankful!!
Please help me out, everyone out there who is reading this also is invited.
Bought one about 2 months ago, stick drift out the box, the “A” button was unresponsive. I returned it and got a brand nee one, same issues. So I returned that one and got another new one, this one also had an unresponsive “A” but also double clicking RB. I tested my luck and returned it for a new one once again, and once again the “A” button was unresponsive with stick drift. So I got a full refund and I’ve just stuck with a stock controller.
Damn man I would test my luck buying a used one just for shits n giggles cuz I love mine and just having the batter last as long as it does is a win for me everything else is a bonus lol I dislike having to charge my controller after every session because I don’t always remember to do so :)
Sou do Brasil. Comprei 3 Elite V2 e vieram com defeito no analógico...mas não desisti e acertei a compra na quarta vez. Se ele estragar troco os analogicos. Muito melhor que Fusion e Scuf.
Is the elite controller bigger than the core controller? I have pretty long fingers, the core controller is just killing me. Which controller would you recommend?
Great Video!
But i cant find the Name of the Third Party Software you mentioned or a link to a video.
Can someone please tell me the name or send me a link to it, would be very kind of you:)
What do you think is the new best controller now? I’m looking for an upgrade from this controller because I feel like the sticks kind of magnetize which I don’t like because I play rocket league
The only problem I suffered with the original Elite was the rubberized portion coming completely off. It made using the controller pretty u comfortable. The way it's attached on the Elite 2 makes me think it coming off probably isn't an issue, but it'd be good to hear if it holds up.
At 8:40 you remind me of nightmarerh from runescape lolur voice and way ofsaying things
You can actually turn off the paddles by the button in the middle of the controller
I just bought my second controller.
Lot: 2130
I'm really really really hoping Microsoft got their shit together, because I had to return my first one because of all the issues it had. Since then I've been rocking the Razer wolverine ultimate, but I hate the bumpers.
still rocking my razer TE
What is the custom controller closest to the camera at 0:59 ? I can’t tell if it’s Studio Gibli or not
How is the controller so far? I am thinking about buying one now.
8bitdo Pro 2 has back paddles and Gyro for 50 bucks. Work with Switch, Xbox, PC, Android, etc. Out of the box. So that's the best deal.
I’ve gone through 3 Elite II: (1) bumper not registering correctly (2) A button not registering correctly (3) Same A button issue but not as chronic. Now I’m looking at Elite Version 1 instead.
Just bought this from Microsoft after I watched this video. After hearing about them updating, I pulled the trigger. I have a razer Wolverine tournament edition and will be switching to this.
How much was it going for? I just ordered from target on sale for 135.
Wolverine Ultimate and V2 Chroma shit on the Elites.
My elite 2 right bumper literally broke a month after the 1 year warranty ended. 6 months more later a trigger broke and one of the bottom switches. It is so bad now, I just retired it bc I can't remap all the broken buttons for most games. I am glad I won this in a Taco Bell contest, bc I would be very mad about the quality.
I previously had the scuff prestige controller. All said and done it cost around $240 (that’s with using a content creators discount code for 10% off!). After about 3-4 months the plastic back paddles started bending and eventually broke. Like the plastic just gave up and they fell apart like old pieces of gum. So I had to buy more paddles. Then the battery stopped working on it, would die instantly even after being charged for 3 hours, would die even when plugged in. I’m not the smartest tool in the shed so I just went ahead and bought another one. So now I’m up to about $500 into scuff controllers. I eventually wanted different paddles so I had to buy those as well. BUT around 6 months in the battery died just like the previous controller. I cannot explain how frustrating it is when you’re in a 1v1 or in a pvp match and your controller dies. Rage inducing. Especially looking at how much of my hard earned money I spent on these controllers. I recently bought myself an elite series 2 and my god. If you’ve ever gone from a regular controller to a paddled controller, you know the feeling of “wow this is a major upgrade, my skill is going to improve significantly” THAT is the same feeling I got when I went from a scuff controller to an elite controller. THEY DON’T CALL THIS ELITE FOR NOTHING BABY! I’d say the scuff is like a decent Chevy whereas the elite series 2 is like a Cadillac. No more cheap plastic that’s extremely overpriced. You now have what truly feels like a premium option. It’s absolutely beautiful as well as it’s a metallic metal. You can dial it to fit how you play way more than you ever could with scuff. There is no comparison and I would tell anyone beside my worst enemy that the elite is the way to go. I paid $150 in total for my elite series 2 through Microsoft (no third party involved) which is almost $100 cheaper than scuff and yet the premium quality of the controller is worlds beyond. It blows my mind. If you’re trying to decide then I hope this video as well as my comment reaches you. There is no competition here. To top it all off the elite series 2 comes with a 3 month warranty as well as a 1 year warranty that you can opt in for although the 1 year warranty does cost a little more. BEST OF LUCK GAMERS!
How’s it going now with the controller? Thanks
Just picked it up for my PC
So the stock sticks can be shorter because other sticks you get with it?
X Y A B need to be adjusted to be more sensitive - i don't have time to double click every button when I'm seconds from getting my ass handed to me
the LB and RB sensitivity need to be decreased, i click it once but it registers as a double click - i try to swap to my shotgun and instead i get meds which is basically a death sentence while in combat
I feel like I have tried every Pro controller known to man, and almost always come back to the Elite V2. I have a newer model, and haven't had any issues, and if that keeps up not sure why I would replace it.
Thanks for the video! Love your content, humor, and production value!
So the back buttons can only be remapped to an existing button and not a new input/button in general?
The only thing that bothers me about the Elite Series 2 (and this is a big one for me) is that the adjustable tension mechanisms cause the sticks to have a larger mechanical deadzone compared to every other Microsoft Xbox One/Series controller including the Elite S1. The mechanical deadzone is the amount of movement that exists in the center before there is any resistance. You can check this yourself by grabbing any other official Xbox controller, putting it side by side with the Elite S2 and checking the amount of side-to-side stick wobble there is before you feel that spring tension.
It's not super bad with the short sticks but if you throw the longer stick on it feels awful compared to an Elite S1 with the longer stick. I had to RMA my Elite S2 because one of the paddles stopped working and the brand new replacement they sent me had the exact same mechanical deadzone issue.
This increased mechanical deadzone is also the reason these controllers sometimes have stick drift out of the box, since the larger the mechanical deadzone is, the closer the stick will be to registering movement while centered. If it weren't for this issue I'd be using my Elite S2 all the time, but it feels sloppy in FPS games and for that reason I continue to main my Elite S1.
Posted two video links in the comments showing this exact deadzone issue.
The best one is a repair guy that has disassembled the tension module and you can see its a design flaw. From what I understand that those who use the tighter tensions don't notice it as much. Which could explain why there is not alot of exposure on this issue.
@@rickd6914 Yeah I have noticed that if you max out the tension it reduces the mechanical deadzone slightly, but to me it still feels a bit larger than standard sticks.
so this is why they wobbled, ive returned 6 because of this. I will be honest it may feel more sloppy in games where you have low deadzone enabled like apex but i think personally the 4 paddles at the back give you more of an advantage even tho you are gonna have as low of a deadzone, I think im gonna be okay with higher deadzones
does that mechanical deadzone get larger overtime, i understand stick drift happens in every controller snd does get worse and worse depending on use and the sensor used but would you recommend me stick with the elite 2 or move to just a normal cheaper xbox series X controller
@@okay7332 4 paddles can certainly be handy but the Elite S1 has 4 paddles also. I'm actually using the S2 paddles on my S1 haha.
I'm not totally sure if the mechanical deadzone will increase with age, I'd imagine it probably wouldn't increase much though even if it does. When parts wear out they naturally get looser but in this case I dunno if that mechanism undergoes enough stress for that to happen.
I'm currently using a Victrix Gambit controller and honestly it's really solid and noticeably faster than the Elite controllers over a wired connection. That one gets a solid recommendation from me as well as the Elite S1 if you can find one in good condition. But if you've already got an Elite S2 and you're enjoying it despite it's flaws, there's no reason not to keep rocking it until something gives out. 👍
I just bought one, 3days later the A button kind of stopped working... :( and my right trigger seems kind of "sticky" if that makes sense? it doesnt feel as smooth as the left trigger. Really kind of sad to be honest.
Tip for people with bumper response issues. DONT start mashing it hard to make it work. You will break the bumper module. Its fixable. Caused by dirt getting inside the module. How? I dont know. But if you get some electrical contact cleaner (One with a straw for precise application preferably). Take the face plate off. Then spray into the module around where the button on the module is pushed in small bursts. Press the button several times while doing this. Give it 10 mins for the cleaner to completely evaporate. Put it back together. It will work like new again. I was skeptical whether it would work when someone told me about it. But it did. Everything works like new again.
thank you that's a good tip but I wish I saw this earlier
tried this so many times, worked for max 3 days
How do I know if I get a series 2 controller With the quality assurance issues fixed orIf I'm getting an older one that allow those issues to go through?
Do you prefer the Elite 2 over the Instinct Pro?
Not sure if anyone has said this but thank you for your service man ❤
I just want higher stick tension. The adjustable tension is still not as high as the 360
I want to get one but is it by any chance a little bigger then the normal Xbox controller? I find the Xbox series x controller to be small in hand
I bought one and the left stick has terrible drift. The tension control also doesn't work. I sent it back and hopefully the replacement will be perfect.
Hey there, how is the reliability test going?
