Elite controller just a money grab not worth the money due to lack of support for repair

I have a very expensive paper weight and Microsoft made it. My elite controller broke and my only option is to buy a new one. Why would I you do not stand behind it and will not repair them so why should invest in another expensive soon to be paper weight.
Microsoft has gotten to greedy and they have lost a loyal customer and fan i guess i will buy a Playstation

Controller Drifting

Going through it with my Xbox Elite controller right now. Trust me, its not very "elite" and not worth the money.

 

Elite Controller Joystick Drift - Not Even a Year Old

My elite controller is doing the same thing. I've had mine for less then a year as well. I switch out my joy sticks depending on the game I am playing and the right joy stick is not seated correctly anymore and drifts. If they are going to create something
that you can switch the joy sticks but it makes the joy stick fail in less then a year why spend money on it. $150 is a lot of money for a Xbox wireless controller. I love the elite controller but if I have to spend $150 every year to keep using it its not
worth it. I also called Xbox support and they told me the same thing that I would have to buy a new one and there are no repair options. I would also be more then willing to spend money on a repair fee to fix or replace it but not $150 to buy a new one. I
hope Microsoft will hear and understand this is an issue that needs to be looked into.
