    Major Concerns with the Elite 2 - Trying not to sound like a typical complainer in the process


    So trying to keep this as short as possible, I have owned 4 Original Elite Controllers - 2 of them replaced under warranty - So lets call that 6 Original Elite controllers. 2 of them I had to scrap for parts as they were out of warranty and become part of my parts supply to keep the others going. Other than the know issues I still liked those controllers.

    Now lets move on to the Elite 2 - I have now owned 2 of them about to be 3 as I have seen the following:

    First Purchased Elite 2 - Buttons sticking - A and sometimes B - But worse are the BT disconnects that seem to happen when the unit is plugged in and charging. (Clearly an issue as there is no removable battery). Note: I hate the grip material its way too slippery when compared to the original elite. I wish I could fix that in some way. It does not look like it will support aftermarket grips but maybe that would solve it. At least for me my hands physically hurt after playing for a few hours due to needing to grip the controller way harder than I had been used too. So that is a strange side effect I have found.

    **Two side notes, I think shipping it with vibration on for a controller that has no removable battery might be taxing the reported play hours per charge, also somewhere needs to be talked about if you use a chatpad and how might power that also can draw**

    So in trying to return the first elite to amazon they sent me a new unit for the swap - This unit at first would not pair with the console. I have seen these issues before on controllers in general, but got that working and it needed the normal update to firmware. This was done and no issues. Re-booted everything and all was working. Went to install my chatpad and nothing, it will not show up on the accessories app, it will not light up, it does nothing. Re-attached it to my other elite 2 before I ship it back for credit and it works fine?

    So I guess I am very concerned at the reliability of these quite expensive controllers. I have heard rumor that MS is working on this, possibly a software update etc. It is very strange how it reacts when attached to power for charging, and the buttons sticking is clearly a not great issue. I have heard rumors about stick drift issues persisting but I have not seen those personally.

    I also want to make sure this does not have anything to do with me being int he Alpha Ring as I would understand if that is a contributing factor.

    I guess I am checking to see how wide spread this might be and also to make sure that what I am experiencing is possibly Alpha Ring related for the software or possibly Firmware issues, as clearly the ring does not effect the buttons sticking etc I assume that is simply a hardware issue.

    Are Series 1 thumbsticks going to be compatible with the Series 2 Elite Controller?

    No major Nelson done a video. And it looks like none of the the bits from elite 1 will be compatible with elite controller 2 đź‘Ť

    xbox elite wireless controller series 2 left thumbstick problem.

    The warranty is for 90 days. It sounds like the pressure sensor wore out. I am noticing a lot of complaints about the pressure sensors with the elite 2. I have been lucky so far and have not had any problems with either of my elite controllers. Here
    is a link to start the process of getting it repaired https://beta.support.xbox.com/

    If the console is processing graphically intense scenes, then it's very possible for the fans to spin up to expel heat. I wouldn't be concerned, as it sounds like it's working correctly! :)

    Unable to recover any gamertag and all data comes up at corrupt!

    Sorry to hear the other solution didn't work, but it does sound like the repair process is under way! As far as the tracking number is concerned, has it updated yet?
