Elite controller bumper broken

I have my elite for a lot of time and with me the rubber grips went off with 1 year of use, last month was a broken bumper. I had to replace the bumpers of my old controller.

My "elite" controller broke after 6 months of normal use and no abuse. The left bumper is broken and the left stick has too much play in it. Microsoft of course won't do anything because it is past its 90 day warranty. Tons of reports of broken bumpers and
yet Microsoft won't come out and admit they have a design flaw with these controllers. Profits over gamers

I bought 2 Elite and both left bumpers broke about 6 months into owning them...Really hope they make a better controller. $300 and now i have 2 broken controllers. What a joke!

I haven't had many issues with controllers, the left bumper on one of my Elite Contorllers has broken, but that controller has been dropped a couple of times too though. On a hard floor mind you, not carpet, but concrete basically.

Used elite first gen for years and just got good at replacing broken bumpers. I had high hopes for the elite 2 but sadly my elite 2 right bumper clicks but doesnt register input most of the time after only 2 months.

submitted warranty claim, and will have them replace it - but even though i prefer the feel of the sticks and triggers on the msft controller, i am switching to razor wolverine.

not matter how good it feels if a contoller doesnt control, its worthless.
