    The Xbox Elite controller Flaws and how to fix them "Ideas"


    Ive had TWO xbox elite controllers and they both had very big flaws in them. My first elite had the LB button to completely break and mush out, as well as slow analog sticks and popping analog sticks. the other flaws were connectivity issues and the fact
    that i could spam a button at a certain speed and disable the paddles. The second controller just straight up stopped working. I used the controller for awhile and the buttons/home just stopped responding, as well as the sticks having a pop and a slow turn
    when aiming the stick up. The LB and RB started to mush before i just gave up on trying to fix the elites.

    Xbox really needs to use some customer feedback such as mine and make some adjustments to the controller and release an updated version that fits along the standards of the xbox 1s controller. If your paying as much as you do for this controller you should
    be receiving the best.

    My list of fixes are, better shoulder button system, more tense analogs (the analogs are very lose in terms of sensitivity and how the analog sits on the terminal), a slightly modified trigger stop system (system is great just needs a small tweak to make
    it more prominent) and fixing the charger hole (The metal bends fairly quick if you play wired)

    some personal changes would be, make the green magnet under the dpad black or gunmetal, tighter thumbsticks, rework the paddle fitting system to allow for less shakey paddles, a better paint style (pick up grease less) more grip on the back of the controller
    (almost to the trigger, or to the trigger), and of course the Bluetooth speed of the xb1 s controller .

    If they launched a v2 of this controller they need to release more colorways of controllers, and maybe even a way to unclip the faceplate of the controller to get new styles of faceplates. Just my ideas, What are some of the things you guys have to say about
    the elite

    :)

  2. Extended Warranty - Elite Controller

    I don't know where is the "elite" on a controller with so many flaws. My elite controller rubber grips become loose and are opened. I am a casual gamer and take excellent care of my stuff. It looks more like its a manufacturing flaw. We will know for sure
    if their engineering team fixed this when they launch the new Xbox One S which comes with a controller that features rubber grips same as the elite.

    Xbox Elite 2 Analogue Sticks

    Definitely a flawed controller. Unfortunately it is quite common for elite ones and that’s a shame.

    Elite 2 Controller Mapping Letdown

    Hi PsycoPyro88,

    Thanks for the reply. The Elite controller series 2 has various methods of mapping the buttons and paddles as compared to the series 1. If you haven't done so already, I recommend taking a look at the following support articles that
    can assist you in determining how to set up the different functions, including how to use Shift with the controller to give you alternate inputs:

    Get to know your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2


    Use the Xbox Accessories app to customize your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2  


    Use Shift with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2

    Adjust the thumbsticks on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2


    Charge your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2


    If you'd like to contribute some ideas on how to make improvements to or about other ideas for the community, you may do so at the Xbox Idea Hub which is on Reddit.

    Xbox Elite Controller grips peeling

    Oh and the replacement panels don't fix when the rubber grips on the bottom of the controller start peeling. The Elite controller was a great idea, but poorly executed.
