    Elite Series 2 Controller Bumper Issue


    I've had my Xbox elite series 2 controller for just over a year now, the bumper started to not work after around 4 months in and I looked online for fixes. They worked for a while and now the bumper is just unresponsive in any way shape or form. I have taken the bumpers of the controller and have tried adding hot glue to the end of the bumper to extend it so it will touch the little white button which is what gets the response. This too is now not working very well. So I ask is this just another FAIL by Microsoft with bad controller quality or is there something I can do to fix this.

    :)

    Why is customer friendliness so bad when it comes to warranty cases?

    I
    tried to fill out repair order, but, as mentioned above, those are the only options i got.

    Bumper IS a known issue, as you can see.

    Btw., it doenst matter what caused 2 years warranty, it is in place and i'm in the right to use it.

    XBox Elite controller bumper issues

    The bumpers on my launch day Series 1 Elite Controller finally broke a few months ago. Was disappointed that an otherwise perfectly functioning controller (never had the grip issue with mine) was rendered useless because of the poor design of the bumpers.
    All the development that went into the Elite and no effort was made to improve this inherent weakness in all Xbox One controllers. I repaired it myself with a replacement bumper from ebay. Never had bumper issues with any of my 360 controllers.

    Elite Controller Bumpers

    Yeah the Elite Series 2 was basically improved from feedback of users of the Elite Series 1

    Many problems were fixed including the bumpers and the grip that also came loose after some time

    Hope to get an Elite Controller one day :)

    Xbox elite series 2 problems

    I have had both the elite controller and also the elite series 2.

    Issues with both are quite bad considering the cost of the things. The elite series 2 controller has left stick wandering issues, the a button is sometimes non responsive, the bumpers sound really tacky and the rubber comes away from the plastic body where
    you grip.

    I have gone through 3 elite series controllers (thankfully Game exchanged them each time) and am on the fourth now and it has the exact same issues as the other three, with the acception of the rubber coming away, not had it long enough for that.

    To sum up, I am very unhappy with the controller, so much so I am at the moment using an elite series one that has had all the rubber removed, its a bit uncomfortable but this said controller has no other issues.

    Hope this helped.

    elite series 2 controller

    I'm sorry to here that sadly I had my elite series 2 controller do the same thing, it started with the x button and then the bumpers, I noticed stick drift of both the sticks, sadly when I went to the store to exchange it for another one they had no
    elite series 2 controllers in stock, I switched to the Razer wolverine ultimate edition and so far its a great controller
