    Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 has problems after very little use


    Hi all,

    This is my first time really posting on this forum so apologies for any formatting issues.

    I bought a Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 back November. Yet since then, due to college and other things, I really have never used it. Fast forward to this summer, where I have only been playing on it for about 3-4 weeks off and on now. The controller's left bumper already doesn't work half of the time, and my A button doesn't register being pressed sometimes.

    Has anyone else ever had an issue like this with this controller? It is appalling to me how a $179 controller has already stopped working with such little use.

    (For background and completeness, I have already started the repair process which covers the problem under warranty. The problem is they say it will take 14 days for me to get my controller back. I don't have access to another controller, I gave my other ones away to friends when I got this new one which I thought would last. Guess that was a mistake! I am so excited to not be able to play my Series X finally now that school has ended for another 14 weeks!)

    tl;dr | Don't buy the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2.

    :)

    Series X controller wish?

    I like the little changes to it, the share button is nice. But I will be using my Elite Series 2 Controller when the Xbox Series X comes out.
