  1. Elite Controller RB keeps breaking


    I have gone through 3 elite controllers withing the last 6 months! About a month and a half after getting a new controller each time, the RB button breaks. There is an internal plastic joint that connects the button to the center top of
    the controller (above home button). That joint keeps breaking, leaving the button just floating in the socket, and allowing the button to even fall out.

    I believe I know why this keeps happening. I play Rocket League frequently and I have changed RB to be my boost, so it is constantly being pressed and held. This use is probably not normal wear for the bumpers, but that doesn't change the fact that the elite
    controller was designed to swap buttons around, so all buttons should be able to handle that type of use.

    I am looking for a solution for this problem. I have called Microsoft the last 2 times it has happened to try and have them resolve the problem without just giving me another controller that will break in less than 2 months. Please someone tell me what I
    can do to get a controller that can withstand this type of use. I like the elite controller, but if I must use an alternative then that is what I will do.

    :)

    Xbox One Elite Controller (Loose paddle)

    I have the elite controller picked up 3 weeks ago. My RB button keeps registering a press yet neither of the RB buttons are being pressed. I set controller. Used a different controller with success . I have attempted to get in touch will Microsoft 4
    times requested call back 3 times and 1 time waited phone tell my call dropped. I was only called back once of the 3 and when I verified my Microsoft dropped the call.

    Why isn't Microsoft manufactering any elite controllers?

    Because they are terrible, they break faster than the normal controller. Especially the RB and LB buttons, almost guaranteed to break within 90 days. I would recommend buying the Xbox One Tactical Controller, this is a much better buy and can still be modified
    with things like the "quick shot" to make it feel just like the elite https://www.bionikgaming.com/products/quickshot

    Xbox One S control always breaks

    I think the warranty applies to your forst controller even after you got the replacement. But yeah, I have the same issue as well. It's either LB or RB that keeps breaking for me. Was the same case even on 360 controllers.

    My rb isnt working what do I do

    I checked a MS ELite and PS5 controller here https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad and both RB worked as they should, RB does not work on any PC game with either controller.

    Xbox Elite Series 2 RB/LB double clicking (Double Input bug)

    Yeah, unfortunately is quite a common problem. RB and LB in xbox one controllers use an absurd method, because they have a little lever that will eventuay break one day or another. It casn also be bugged since ita production, and here my second point:
    elite controllers shouls be premium quality (for their cost in first place) but in the end they are so fragile.

    Xbox controllers - Careless craftsmanship, or am I just extremely unlucky?

    I’ve noticed a problem on my controllers as well. I have had two s controllers and one original xbox one controller and after sometime the rb or lb buttons have broke. But I have dropped them few times so its not unexpected that something will break eventually.
    After all the controllers arent made out of steel so they will break if you keep dropping them.
