Elite controller 2 is a scam

Scam? Or really, really bad luck in acquiring brand new controllers that each happen to have themselves defect contaminated. I've been there. You should of seen the L3 left analog stick replacement issues I'd have with Xbox 360 controllers back in the day,
purely cause I used the L3 stick "that much" and eventually, yes I would have to get a full replacement. It was a common thing. I was never thumb gentle, as one would put it

masroorqureshi Believe me, I understand your frustration. But do note, what you encounter, especially with the newer hardware of Xbox gen console
controllers, is a rare thing entirely.

With every generation, comes every set of quirks and faultiness. Faulty controllers comes down to many variables, like how you play video games, what style of constant strain do you put on particular or commonly used buttons/joysticks. It's like, an engineering
worst nightmare to give you the chart.

Although I am briefly familiar with the on-going past xbox elite developing controller defect history, do also know other companies aren't perfect too.

Switch joysticks having problems, faulty HDMI's being shipped with Playstation 4's..

With your valid warranty you should always be able to get that refund if you are still encountering your problem. Remember, not every gaming console company is perfect, and not every hardware, firmware, nook and tinker that comes with it is either.

The post was mostly from frustration but thanks for the reply and explaining. I understand issues like this arise often and the fact it was the same issue multiple times makes me concerned. Its irritating that the remotes come and after a month/couple
weeks the analog and buttons start acting up cause i planned to use the controller for next gen too but what happens when this issues continue to happen when my warranty runs out?

My elite series 2 rb button doesnt work and i cant find a replacement button how do i fix this

Microsoft knew the controllers were defective and still sold them as a good product. they wont do anything to fix your controller because its most like out of warranty thats why the warranty was so short. The whole elite series 2 was a scam

Can we get ahold someone who can answer this for certain? I am also having an issue with my right thumbstick and this is a very expensive, and DIFFERENT product from a normal Elite Series 2 controller. If Microsoft/Xbox can't warranty the specific sku, then why is there even a warranty in the box at all? If they were to send a regular Elite Series 2 back after a Halo Infinite version is sent in, then they would be performing a scam--not a warranty service.

Is this a way to get around the 99 dollar fee to fix it? It is crazy to think that Microsoft would charge for there repairs. I have had 3 original elite controllers fail (2 of which were covered by a warranty with the seller) and my new elite series 2
controller has been having the same issue for several months. It is insane that the issue was so prevalent with the first series and was still a problem with the 2nd. Microsoft is aware of the issue and is charging people to fix it. This is nothing but a scam
to make more money off of people who buy their product's!
