    Elite 2 Controller won't turn off and won't connect "Garbage Controller"


    I warned my son not to spend his $200 on this controller because of the tremendous amount of negative reviews online, but he insisted and purchased with his friends online. Well.... a few days later the 2 pound hunk of complete garbage arrived, and
    as advertised it updated and within 2 or 3 minutes and the controller stayed powered up, didn't connect, and would not turn off. After a few hours it powered down and he was able connect and play for the night. This was after my wife and I spent the entire
    time online troubleshooting the garbage. We thought all was well, until the next day when the complete $200 piece of garbage started to do the same thing. We tried again to get the garbage to disconnect and power down, but after 3 hours, nothing. So, he is
    left with the biggest birthday disappointment possible.

    It is critical design flaw to not have a power switch for a piece of equipment. It is a complete foul for Microsoft to produce and sell equipment that is fundamentally flawed. The person that lead this project should be held personally responsible for
    this. Microsoft should be as furious as the disappointed customers and recall this disaster. Do you not have any quality control? What type of data did you use to release this product as "working." Would you send the "valued" Microsoft customers this data
    so we can see if this was truly warranted?

    One of the most troubling aspect is the fact that Microsoft's first response to problems is "return controller." as if they know they are selling trash. Imagine that, a $200 piece of **** that they are happy to continue to sell.

    Complete shame on you Microsoft and the Xbox team. If this is the way you are producing "elite" equipment, I shudder to think what your series X will consist of.

    An extremely dissatisfied customer

    Controller and Headset Won't Reconnect

    I have the same problem. After timing out the controller won't connect. It turns off when I turn off the console so it is connected somehow but it just blinks and won't connect right

    Xbox Turning On By Itself

    If the console is turning on and if you connect a controller to the console to shut it off and it is coming up as port 2 - then somewhere there is another controller turning it on, somewhere - this will also cause a problem playing games since you won't
    be able to be controller 1 to play your GT.

    Xbox elite 1 issues with rubber

    Hi darrenmonk,,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums.

    We won't be able to provide proof that the grips won't peel off as that would be impossible since everyone grips their controller differently, but all we can say is that the series 2 Elite controller was improved with every previous feature in mind and that
    includes the rubberized grips, as they now wrap around all the way to the top of the controller.

    There won't be any discounts for owning the original Elite controller.

    You can read more about the new Elite controller from the following sites:

    on the elite 1 you can simply remove the battery but on elite 2 it's impossible.

    Xbox Controller Sync & Powering off from after pressing sync button five times....

    My sync button turns off my Xbox one X and won't connect any controllers.

    When controllers do connect they disconnect and flash.

    Had this problem since beginning of February.
