    Durability of Xbox One Elite controller


    I bought an Xbox One Elite controller specifically for its paddle buttons (and absolutely loved them) back in 17 Mar 2018. And then a little
    over a month of gameplay, the P1 (little green) button collapses and won't spring back up; it's like in a perpetual depressed state. The controller design's quite tight and I cannot figure out how to disassemble it and see if there's anything fixable
    under that button.

    After communicating with Xbox support, I'll be receiving instructions to send the controller off for a replacement unit. While that is fine and all, I am quite shocked how quickly the paddle buttons - the whole point of buying this controller - can brake down
    and force me back to traditional button input.

    If I read correctly this controller was released in 2015. How has the overall durability of this design been for other owners?

    PS - I previously utilised an Xbox 360 controller, which a little less than one and half years of usage, began to exhibit power loss problems due to the loose plate-depression design of the battery pack. It could be resolved by a low-tech solution of inserting
    some folds of paper into the plate hole so that the plate can actually depress all the way to form a proper electrical circuit. Again I was shocked they even designed in such a flimsy manner.

    :)

    Xbox One Controller Durability?

    I have purchased 20 controllers since I have bought my Xbox one in Sept 2014. Almost every single one has either has had a left analog stick problem or the left bumper breaks from only being used after a month. I even have an Elite Controller that the left
    bumper broke after only a month of usage, for a controller that cost me around $130 CDN. I don't understand how a company that had the sturdy Xbox 360 Controllers, has such a weak xbox one controllers. I just recently bought a controller and the left stick
    is starting fail on it. Can you please help me understand why every controller I have had and my friends have had break at the analog sticks or the bumpers?

    Xbox One Controller Durability?

    Sorry to hear that, jonesy2042!

    Unfortunately, if the hardware in the controller appears to be malfunctioning, the only option would be to look into having that controller serviced/replaced, I'm afraid. Depending on how long you've had the controller, it may still be covered under warranty
    and you may be able to replace it for free. There's more information in our
    Elite Controller Service     guide that can help you get started on that.

    Why Xbox One controllers break so easily

    Xbox 360 controllers are more durable. Xbox 1 controllers are much lighter and sleeker. Xbox 1 Elite is overpriced.

    Microsoft Says Xbox One S Has the Best Controller Ever Made!

    I really like the XB1 controllers however they are not as durable as the 360 as my Xbox one controller has stick drift. And I've also heard people having issues with elite controllers breaking too

    Hi,

    if they are broken you always got your warranty, you can go back to the store where you bought your Xbox one Elite controller.

    I think that the controller is durable and shouldt be easy broken.
