DAMN NOTI GANG! You guys fast AF! On a serious note anybody out there having issues with the thumbsticks after some long term use? Possibly getting loose or having a deadzone in the middle on certain thumbstick tensions? Let us know! Stay Awesome everyone...much more to come!
AIR BEAR my brother has gone through 4 v2s in the span of a month because on each one they had sticky buttons and sometimes unresponsive after like an hour of use
Yeah my left thumb stick takes a solid second sometimes to register when pushing it up. Very annoying since i dont know when it will work like its supposed to or not. Right stick is also a bit loose after a month or so
Xbox elite controller is literally the most comfortable controller I’ve ever felt in my hands. That’s coming from a PS4 player. Edit: I work at game stop, so I’ve felt every controller there is, thanks for your useless opinions though.
I spend almost 300 on boots for work that last years and years if you take care of them plus I spent 170 on one of these controllers I'm waiting on right now from the mail man
I love this controller. I have the previous version, and knowing that it will carry over to the Xbox series X just makes me love it even more. This controller is hands down the best elite xbox/pc controller , yes i said PC, i'm that weirdo that uses a controller on PC.
That's not weird. Some PC games are meant to be played using a controller over KBM. Bayonetta, DMC games, and Sunset Overdrive come to mind. Also any sports games as well.
Sorry, apparently I'm weirder than you, cause, to me, the Steam controller is hands down the best pc controller. I'm addicted to the gyroscope and the infinite possibilities of customizations.
If you have the old version is the new one as heavy as the original that was my only problem with it all that metal made it too heavy for me on long sessions
To be honest Xbox Scarlet would have been an awesome name. Same with Xbox: Scorpio Project (aka the One X). I just think the name “Series X” sounds a bit lame for the next generation of Xbox. But hey, it didn’t stop me buying one hahah
You forgot to mention they automatically change the 0-100% trigger press when you switch between the 3 trigger settings so you no longer need to make a custom profile for that change.
Just got mine the other day, at most I'll use it a few hours a day, so I'll give an update on its longevity in time. If you're thinking of getting one now, I'd say go for it, it's very nice to use
@@minhajuddin4638 don't buy it. Wait for next-gen controllers or just buy third party controller. Even 15% xbox-like controller can be more reliable than Microsoft shit. I had a pretty bad experience with xbox one controllers. And yeah: th-cam.com/video/6Gzj0f9SrBs/w-d-xo.html

I am now on my 10th Elite 2 conroller! I'm lucky to have warantee and I get a new one always :) These Elite 2 controllers last about 4 to 8 weeks with extensive use! :) The reason why I keep using this controller is because I simply love it!
@@juanacastro822 It is LITRERALY this bad! If you use it every day for 8 hours, its toast within a few weeks. If you play just a litle it might break right after your warrantee ;)
This is probably the best looking controller i've ever seen. The charging dock has me really wanting this. Definitely picking it up along with the Xbox Series X.

I got this controller for Christmas and I loved it immediately it helped me control recoil in some games so much but the left stick had really bad stick drift so right now I’m just waiting for it to come back
I've only had one problem with my v1 . My left grip lost some adhesive at an edge and it started peeling up after like 3 or 4 years. Besides that it is the best controller I've ever had and i bet the v2 is better
iTzCharlie BTW once I get home I’ll find out and let you know. I use my astros with an adapter. My boy says his turtle beaches work withy the controller and it’s fine. Just make sure u get a warranty for the controller becuse I won’t lie i got stick drift within 3 months on my left stick and I gotta get my controller switched with my warranty
Fascilis descensus ad infernos you will notice it when you strafe and don’t touch your stick and your still moving ( fucks up looting depending on game and movement), it’s manageable but anoying to manage. But the controllers worth it other than its possibility of having minor issues.
As to the stigma to the durability of elite controllers, I’ve had the Xbox Elite Controller V1 for almost 2 years now, and quite frankly it’s still in pristine condition for me. Additionally it’s not like i don’t use it, i use it on a daily basis and it’s still running 100% fine.
Had one for some time and it's great, my first one developed a fault soon after getting it and Microsoft replaced it and since then found it to be the best hand controller I've ever used.
I dunno what y'all be talking about for lifespan. My first elite controller lasted from the time it was debuted and still works. I only just picked up the series 2 for Christmas for myself, and it's absolute GOLD.
Elite v2 has held up flawlessly for me, my elite v1 is also still in perfect shape. I don't know if I got lucky or what but I have had 0 issues in however many years the elite controllers have existed
Bro, your reviews are so on point. I always get both systems, but this controller makes me want to get the XBOX first. I really don’t like using after market controllers, and prefer using OE stuff cause it lasts longer, has better warranties. Knowing the elite is this good and works for the next gen is dope.
Got mine a few days after it came out, loved it since, still feels band new. I already had a rubber skin from last controller, so that helps to keep it clean
Il SlowBurn lI could I assign the extra buttons to different weapons to quickly switch? I play red dead online and switching weapons is 2 steps or more.
I’ve owned it since late December it is an amazing controller I’ve also owned the first elite I’m glad the grip raps around I haven’t had any issues with the grip but with the first elite I had grip issues almost instantly out of the package
i bought my series 1 elite controller when it was released, and ive been playing gears competitively since and my controller has held up the entire time with no issue, other than the grips coming off.
Real review, angry review, honest review and when someone really wants attention they call it 'brutally honest review'. Just someone telling you how they felt about something.
This is the best controller on earth ! Been using it since 11/04/2019 every day for about 4 hours a day and it still feels like I took it out the box for the first time every time I use it ! Fuck the 1st elite with those damn grips ! Series 2 in 1 million % better !
@@thehandslordrockethands6629 feedback? Like what? I use my elite for pc and for Xbox, mainly for Warframe now lol but it was my go to FPS controller, brilliant for sniping in COD 😀 the back paddles still feel as good as the day when I bought the controller and the bumpers are a little loose but nothings broken, tbh I don’t need to upgrade to the 2 but I like the new styling of it and that wireless charging would be perfect :)
@@iireflexii7756 what does the control feel like on warframe? I’ve been considering getting a elite 1 and my main thing is how the controls are on warframe with the elite.
@@fallenfuzzyxx honestly.. the elite controller is the perfect one for warframe, I have my back paddles mapped for ABXY so my thump never leaves the thumb sticks which allows me to move about with ease, I tried with a new standard controller a couple days ago and it just didn’t have the same feeling as the elite, u can grab a series 1 quite cheap now, definitely worth it! :) my elite controller is starting to show its age tho but for years n years of perfect service I’m not really fussed, it’s never broken or had stick drift or anything best £160 I ever spent lol
@@iireflexii7756 that’s awesome honestly, it be nice to not have to move my finisher to an uncomfortable position just to do good melee. Any recommendations of where to look to buy one for cheap?
When the Scarlet drops I'm trading in my Xbox One Elite (came with the EV1) and grabbing the EV2 for that all new next gen goodness. Oh and Halo Infinite of course. Another solid review my dude, keep the content coming Bear!
@@alexr.1097 😯 If that's true...damn! Guess we'll have to wait and see. Let's hope Sony pulls their head outta their asses and makes a proper NON Scuf built Elite. I'd be soooo happy!
@@slickitysosa I haven't had any. I play quite a lot of Destiny 2 and I would notice. The controller drag on the first controller is from dust and dirt getting onto the surface of the joint. I keep my controller clean.
I have xbox elite v2 controller, it is amazing! Love the 4 paddles when playing CoD. Left paddle = jump and change wep, right paddle slide and reload. The quality is also amazing and the feel is much better than the origional xbox series x controller.
@@Thatwhey yepp the RB button broke like 4 weeks ago and did not respond :-P But my controller was a demo controller to begin with and i also used it for over a year so iguess it had been used alot. Sent it to MS and got a new controller after just 2 weeks waiting. :-)
I love how this controller feels, especially how I’m able to fine tune the triggers and adjust the tension of the sticks. That being said, within a week of having it my B button started sticking. Not a huge deal since I could just map the B button to one of the back paddles. A couple weeks after that the left stick stopped responding when I went to click it. I play a lot of call of duty and everytime I went to sprint I would have to repeatedly click the left stick down until it responded properly. It got me killed many times and I just decided to go back to a regular controller. Kinda sucky.
@@4lex355 I ordered one, thumbstucks all fucked, A button misses input, RB does double input, I sent that shit back. It's just rolling the dice man, if you get a controller that fucking works I'd imagine it would be beautiful (The controller felt a ma z I ng )
This is one of the things I am jealous of as a PS4 owner. My Astro C40 is okay, but I have had to swap out analog sticks (Battle Beaver) to get more tension. I’ve had stick drift issues, running issues, etc.
Jason Hunt I play ps4 as well, but as ps5 will come this year and is going to be expensive. I thought buying a pc isn’t a bad idea. Won’t cost much more, no ps plus and you can use whatever controller you want. Think about switching to pc as well (think about what your friends will be playing on tho) (I have Nacon Revolution Pro 2 controller wich still performs perfectly after a year. My friend only had mic issues with it after 2 years)
@Snudion Hey! I'm glad you have had no issues with your C40. I had to return my base module once and they sent me out new analog sticks twice so far. I ended up just ordering Battle Beaver replacements. The BB ones have more stick tension also, which I think is a must for the C40. So far, the BB replacements have held up for a few months. I love the C40 too (when it works). I have had to increase my analog stick sensitivity for my character to continue to run in Blackout. I'm hoping the PS5 controller has back buttons and this would solve many aftermarket controller issues.
Got mine in February, wanted to come here for some other opinions. Only thing wrong with mine is the charging dock quit working and I had to buy another for $20 but that's it
The life span of mine was pretty short. I had 2 elite 1s that broke pretty quick (i.e the bumpers simply fell out over time and the padding/gripping came off) and then I decided to get the elite 2. I loved it while it lasted. The two top paddle buttons on the back of the controller are now unresponsive and so is the left bumper. Maybe I got unlucky. I low key want another one cuz it truly was one of the best feeling controllers I've ever felt in my hands and it's got such a nice weight to it. I wish I could remember how long it lasted but it didnt feel long😥
I went through multiple v1 controllers. I loved the v1 elite but it could not withstand heavy usage which is insane. Grips fell off, deadzone issues, thumbsticks wore out you name it. v2 elite however has done so much better. It's subtle improvements do add up to be a significant improvement over v1 and the fact that I'm 6 months in after really heavy usage and it still feels and looks like I got it yesterday is a very promising. I'll be buying another one when the series X releases because no one should have to play on anything else, it's that good.
I just got this controller with my new xbox and tbh i was abit confused with it but you explained everything about the controller that has completely changed the way i play games now
i came here because i just ordered one and i wanna see if it was worth it i come down to the comments and everyone is saying the thing is god tier so i’m happy
I bought the elite v1 used off ebay 3.5 yrs ago. I changed the face plate, triggers, and bumpers. It still works flawlessly! Only issue I've had was I paddle got loose and stopped working. It was an easy fix, just had to tighten a screw. Other than that it tends to rattle when vibrating, but i never notice it since I play with a headset. Will def get the v2 once mine breaks
mannnnn im late as hell to this video but i been had the v2 n that shit is great! i truly recommend it to any gamer that is serious, it has perfect weight ratio plenty of custom settings for your liking of all games, battery life is very good as well as quality overall of the material!
Went from ps4 to xbox series x. Been using the scuf impact on the ps4 and you have totally sold me on going for this controller now. Buying it tomorrow. Cheers
I love the paddles on the elite series 2 Microsoft nailed them. but the elite series1 paddles were so biggggg. I love the thumb stick tension for shooter games
Great review. Sometimes best to wait a few months and see how it performs. Just got mine today and it feels great. Love that it works with series X too.
Here is my issue with integrated batteries; once the battery deteriorates or no longer hold their charge for very long, that's it game over, you can't change or even remove the battery. You have to buy a new controller or pay an expensive repair bill; if we compare that to play and charge kits all it takes is replace the battery if needs be. If you want a controller that has an integrated battery, leave the play and charge kit in the controller.
It’s not that hard to replace controller batteries unless they’re soldered in, and I’d much rather have one reusable battery that lasts for years then have to buy new batteries every month that I can’t even throw away
I just bought a series 2 elite, first time ever having an elite, and this gave me a hugeee sense of relief and knowledge set ontop of that. Thank you ♥️ also, please upload more! I’m looking forward to seeing everything!
Thank you for the review! My V1 after one and a half years of abuse playing COD is starting to get left stick drift. Hopefully they’ve used better parts in the V2.
I’ve had 3 of these already in 2 months all having issues all 3 having issues with the RB button registering 2 presses when hitting once. The first lasted about a month the second lasted a week and the third a few days and also had stick drift on the right stick on opening day
Yeah, buttons pressing twice seems to be a mechanical error, wait for another batch to come out and get another one on warranty. All controllers can be bought brand new with problems, i had problems with ps2 dualshock controllers, xbox 360 and xbox one controllers clming out of the box with mushy buttons that stick, triggers that are loose, stick drift, home buttoms sticking etc.
Yea that's 100% true what you said about life span being a problematic subject for the elite controllers I've had 3 so far and it's taken almost 600$ to learn my lesson about buying custom builds! This tech looks fantastic though I imagine with all the effort they put in they addressed the longevity of the parts used particularly the life of the substrate boards and sensor circuits for the paddles and sticks ! Those have been my two areas of issue with all 3 controllers I've owned Very excited to upgrade to the v2 as soon as I can find it in stock 😂
Just gonna put this out there, I’ve owned my series 2 for about 6 months and my right analogue stick already has a massive deadzone/wiggle, the right bumper is glitchy as well. Still useable but definitely frustrating considering the price tag, and the fact that my 2 year old regular controller which has seen more use and abuse is just fine
@@jdomz Not yet. The problems haven’t gotten any worse in the 8 months since I’ve posted this tho, so that’s nice. I’ve definitely gotten my use out of it, enough to where I can’t really play with any other controller. there’s a lot of utility it adds (mostly just the paddles and preconfigured inputs for specific games)
So, a year later I finally got a Halo Infinite Elite 2 controller that showed up with a nonfunctional paddle button and a defective right stick out of the box. As a 3-time Series 1 owner I thought the quality issues people complained about for the Series 2 controller were overblown but apparently not.
@@k9wolfblood nope, since it is a "limited" item they said they cannot provide a replacement from the MS Store. Xbox support said since it arrived defective it does not apply for warranty but regardless they don't repair they replace and again since it is new and limited they don't have any. So, only option is return for a refund.
Had mine since November with zero issues. I have seen where some are having connectivity issues, but I've yet to have an issue sitting 10-`12 feet from my xbox. My biggest disappointment was that the sticks don't fit from the series 1.
@@ostxrmzo5467 yes as of July 15 2021 I’ve had this 1 year and 8 months, currently drift has gotten worse, and certain buttons require more force or more push’s to activate.
Switch from a DualShock 4 to a Xbox elite v2 and was in love since the first time I played with it. I’ve had it for about a year and use it daily 2-4 hrs a day and I haven’t had problems with it
I just bought one, I will update after a few months to see how it's doing. Amazing review man thought but the warranty is only 90 days so that's a little worrying so I got the 1 year plan with it. Edit: If you register your controller you get a free 2 year full warranty. Microsoft is aware of the faulty bumpers and joy sticks.
I am surprised no one mention issue with the face button especially A button, sticky, un-responsive. Even Xbox themselves acknowledged there is a problem and investigating with their team. Search Xbox Elite 2 face button there tons of complain.
My first Elite 2 missed A button inputs (~10 per hour) within 2 weeks. Got it replaced. On the second one after 2 months you could press the B button below the resistance point (and hold it) without it registering. Got my money back.
This sucks men i was gonna buy one but hate to gamble hoping i get good one not bad one then if not having to refund and gamble again to get a new one is almost 200$ probably a Razor would be better it just suck is wired not wireless
It's a great controller, but I am already on my second elite controller series 2. The first one I had the L3 button quit working, and I was getting horrible stick drift on both sticks. I also went through 4 elite one controllers as well because of the bad stick drift, and the RB and LB buttons quit working.
I’ve returned 3 already. All with unresponsive face buttons. Either A or X just wouldn’t register every time I’d press it. Don’t use them too often because of the paddles but I’m not paying $200 for a controller and it not work properly
@@eja35oz Can't blame you really, i wouldn't recommend them. Maintenance is really high, I've heard horror stories from everything, scuff cheap paddles and bad stick drift, elite v1 sticks drifting and rubber pealing(happened to mine after 6-8 months) c4o something wrong with the sticks, either losing magnetization or something along those lines, unless you really need them, play tournaments or are financially secure enough to afford replacements you're better off using regular controllers and fucking with your button layouts.
@@AnimosityIncarnate That's exactly what I have done. Mainly only playing cod now but I am using bumper jumper config and I have my index fingers on the L1/R1 and my middle fingers on the triggers. I just remapped a few buttons and its working out pretty right now

I think it’s great to have so many options and each console has their pros and cons.

I got this controller for Christmas and I loved it immediately it helped me control recoil in some games so much but the left stick had really bad stick drift so right now I’m just waiting for it to come back
I've only had one problem with my v1 . My left grip lost some adhesive at an edge and it started peeling up after like 3 or 4 years. Besides that it is the best controller I've ever had and i bet the v2 is better
I'm having the exact same problem with mine!! Plus stick drift in the thumbstick in some games.
I had the same problem, you think it’s a defect?
Elite 1 all have this problem. I took my side clips off sense they pop off and bought scuf grips and put those on.
@TMRapp yea it is but what is funny my left bumper fucked up after watching this vid
Same but after 1 year
at the end of the day we get it for the paddles, get a warrenty people! so when/if it fucks up, you can get a quick swap
Drexler Ogbeifun, do u have the controller bc I’m scared that the turtle beach adapters won’t fit the bottom with the paddles do u know if it does?
iTzCharlie BTW once I get home I’ll find out and let you know. I use my astros with an adapter. My boy says his turtle beaches work withy the controller and it’s fine. Just make sure u get a warranty for the controller becuse I won’t lie i got stick drift within 3 months on my left stick and I gotta get my controller switched with my warranty
Drexler Ogbeifun honestly the way I see it left stick drift isn’t that big of a problem (granted I play Mostly FPS games so that could be why)
Fascilis descensus ad infernos you will notice it when you strafe and don’t touch your stick and your still moving ( fucks up looting depending on game and movement), it’s manageable but anoying to manage. But the controllers worth it other than its possibility of having minor issues.
@@d-rex6846 you can always disassemble and clean if it is so prominent and you know what you are doing in case you didnt get a extended warranty
As to the stigma to the durability of elite controllers, I’ve had the Xbox Elite Controller V1 for almost 2 years now, and quite frankly it’s still in pristine condition for me. Additionally it’s not like i don’t use it, i use it on a daily basis and it’s still running 100% fine.

Bro, your reviews are so on point. I always get both systems, but this controller makes me want to get the XBOX first. I really don’t like using after market controllers, and prefer using OE stuff cause it lasts longer, has better warranties. Knowing the elite is this good and works for the next gen is dope.

For those who will get this. You guys need to take care of it just like a pet.
I love how this controller feels, especially how I’m able to fine tune the triggers and adjust the tension of the sticks. That being said, within a week of having it my B button started sticking. Not a huge deal since I could just map the B button to one of the back paddles. A couple weeks after that the left stick stopped responding when I went to click it. I play a lot of call of duty and everytime I went to sprint I would have to repeatedly click the left stick down until it responded properly. It got me killed many times and I just decided to go back to a regular controller. Kinda sucky.

@matt you in Tucson? I literally bought a used controller witb the same problems lol
This is one of the things I am jealous of as a PS4 owner. My Astro C40 is okay, but I have had to swap out analog sticks (Battle Beaver) to get more tension. I’ve had stick drift issues, running issues, etc.
Jason Hunt I play ps4 as well, but as ps5 will come this year and is going to be expensive.
I thought buying a pc isn’t a bad idea. Won’t cost much more, no ps plus and you can use whatever controller you want.
Think about switching to pc as well (think about what your friends will be playing on tho)
(I have Nacon Revolution Pro 2 controller wich still performs perfectly after a year. My friend only had mic issues with it after 2 years)
@Snudion Hey! I'm glad you have had no issues with your C40. I had to return my base module once and they sent me out new analog sticks twice so far. I ended up just ordering Battle Beaver replacements. The BB ones have more stick tension also, which I think is a must for the C40. So far, the BB replacements have held up for a few months. I love the C40 too (when it works). I have had to increase my analog stick sensitivity for my character to continue to run in Blackout. I'm hoping the PS5 controller has back buttons and this would solve many aftermarket controller issues.
Which level of tension did you pick at Battle Beaver? Stock, Increased or Extreme? Does it handle well?
Patrick D. One of each.
Just bought this controller for myself for Christmas. I saw your video and it makes this controller so fucking dope. Thanks for being you
I love my Elite Series 2, it wasn't a waste of money!
Hows it holding up?
Got mine in February, wanted to come here for some other opinions. Only thing wrong with mine is the charging dock quit working and I had to buy another for $20 but that's it
@Justin Posada go on ebay bro, they stock price is 179.99 but since its literally sold out everywhere the price shot up. ebay got mine for 200 flat
I love mine! I’ve had it since day 1, and haven’t had any problems. It’s the real deal...
The life span of mine was pretty short. I had 2 elite 1s that broke pretty quick (i.e the bumpers simply fell out over time and the padding/gripping came off) and then I decided to get the elite 2. I loved it while it lasted. The two top paddle buttons on the back of the controller are now unresponsive and so is the left bumper. Maybe I got unlucky. I low key want another one cuz it truly was one of the best feeling controllers I've ever felt in my hands and it's got such a nice weight to it. I wish I could remember how long it lasted but it didnt feel long😥
Dude the control are insane and you can tell its really worth the price just the way it tells it’s like it is perfect
'That feel of COMPLETION of BOTTOMING OUT IN THE BACK' LMAO
Sex sells lol
I went through multiple v1 controllers. I loved the v1 elite but it could not withstand heavy usage which is insane. Grips fell off, deadzone issues, thumbsticks wore out you name it. v2 elite however has done so much better. It's subtle improvements do add up to be a significant improvement over v1 and the fact that I'm 6 months in after really heavy usage and it still feels and looks like I got it yesterday is a very promising. I'll be buying another one when the series X releases because no one should have to play on anything else, it's that good.

How it is holding?! 3x
Here is my issue with integrated batteries; once the battery deteriorates or no longer hold their charge for very long, that's it game over, you can't change or even remove the battery.
You have to buy a new controller or pay an expensive repair bill; if we compare that to play and charge kits all it takes is replace the battery if needs be. If you want a controller that has an integrated battery, leave the play and charge kit in the controller.
It’s not that hard to replace controller batteries unless they’re soldered in, and I’d much rather have one reusable battery that lasts for years then have to buy new batteries every month that I can’t even throw away
@@betchaos7383 I'm still using a play and charge kit that is over 6 years old so yeah replaceable batteries is the way to go.
MrSerialKiller9 so why are those rechargeable batteries a good thing, but the one conveniently kept in your controller a bad thing?
@Vincent Tuminello Preach, brother. Modular tech is the way to go.
I believe if you get a warranty with it ,you can replace the controller if you have battery issues.

You got bad luck. My V2 perfect. Had it about 2 months as well
I've had the exact same problem. returned one and the second one took about 2 weeks for it to start doing the same.
Same problems with 2 of these controllers
Yeah, buttons pressing twice seems to be a mechanical error, wait for another batch to come out and get another one on warranty. All controllers can be bought brand new with problems, i had problems with ps2 dualshock controllers, xbox 360 and xbox one controllers clming out of the box with mushy buttons that stick, triggers that are loose, stick drift, home buttoms sticking etc.
Can confirm the problems. Two Elite 1 and two Elite 2 all with problems.
Yea that's 100% true what you said about life span being a problematic subject for the elite controllers I've had 3 so far and it's taken almost 600$ to learn my lesson about buying custom builds!
This tech looks fantastic though I imagine with all the effort they put in they addressed the longevity of the parts used particularly the life of the substrate boards and sensor circuits for the paddles and sticks !
Those have been my two areas of issue with all 3 controllers I've owned
Very excited to upgrade to the v2 as soon as I can find it in stock 😂
Agree!
Just gonna put this out there, I’ve owned my series 2 for about 6 months and my right analogue stick already has a massive deadzone/wiggle, the right bumper is glitchy as well. Still useable but definitely frustrating considering the price tag, and the fact that my 2 year old regular controller which has seen more use and abuse is just fine

@@jdomz Not yet. The problems haven’t gotten any worse in the 8 months since I’ve posted this tho, so that’s nice.

So, a year later I finally got a Halo Infinite Elite 2 controller that showed up with a nonfunctional paddle button and a defective right stick out of the box. As a 3-time Series 1 owner I thought the quality issues people complained about for the Series 2 controller were overblown but apparently not.
Are they replacing it? I hope so ...
@@k9wolfblood nope, since it is a "limited" item they said they cannot provide a replacement from the MS Store. Xbox support said since it arrived defective it does not apply for warranty but regardless they don't repair they replace and again since it is new and limited they don't have any. So, only option is return for a refund.

MohAlnassery dude same, I switched it out for another one at Best Buy and haven’t had a problem since that

It's a great controller, but I am already on my second elite controller series 2. The first one I had the L3 button quit working, and I was getting horrible stick drift on both sticks. I also went through 4 elite one controllers as well because of the bad stick drift, and the RB and LB buttons quit working.
