Hi so I have this strange problem with my elite series 2 controller.

Hi again ReQonLeqend

Yes, it is possible that the padding on your removable joystick is damaged. The padding is there for comfort and cushioning, and also helps keep the joysticks in place. If the padding is damaged, it can cause discomfort and can also make the joysticks move easier.

If the padding is damaged, you may want to replace the removable joystick. There are repair kits available that allow you to replace the padding, but it may be easier to replace the entire joystick.

I even think that it is cheaper and safer to buy a new one so as not to have future problems or other inconveniences with the same control.

Oh ok, I appreciate the info. It also looks like the bent metal might’ve damaged the padding in one of my removable joysticks, so should I get new removable joysticks too, or is it not a big deal? Is the padding just there to keep the joysticks in place? Also is there any way to prevent this from happening again?

Hi ReQonLeqend, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

I see the image you sent. Yes, it is a fairly common problem. The metal of the Elite Series 2's joysticks is relatively thin, and is susceptible to bending with use. It is also possible that the problem was caused by a bump or fall.

If the problem is due to wear and tear, there is not much you can do to fix it. The controller is out of warranty, so you will have to buy a new one.

I know how frustrating this problem can be, but I hope you get another good controller.

I have exactly the same issue with the new Series 2 controllers. I ordered the Electronic Volt version, but had to refund it because of the mentioned problem. Then I ordered the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, thinking a 150€ controller sure can't have these problems, but I was wrong.

So here I am, stuck my old Elite Series 1 controller that still works after several years, but starts to show wear, and I can't upgrade to Series 2 without winning the series-2-build-quality-lottery.

Hi Lucas, there is no Elite Series 2 controller driver only show 360 controller I uninstalled the driver, restart computer and connect the controller and still have the problem sorry
