    Xbox elite series 2 constant issues after multiple returns.


    Honestly don't know what to do at this point, but the basic gist of it is that almost 2 years ago I purchased an xbox elite series 2 controller to replace my elite series 1. Since then its been constant out of box issues, after numerous warranty returns.

    Multiple of them seemingly shipped me a brand new controller with all the extra parts meaning I have piles of extra paddles etc. all of these have had issues ranging from sticky face buttons, unresponsive bumpers, sticks that don't click properly when pressing them in etc. The best controllers I had very quickly (within a week or so) had either issues with the right trigger becoming sticky, or bumpers not inputting when pressed at certain angles.

    Just got a controller back that is the best I've had expect it feels like something is stuck in the right trigger and it feels mushy/stiff at the end of travel and I just don't know what to do at this point. I want to return it to hopefully get some miracle controller but think I'm not gonna bother at this point and just wait.

    These issues don't even bring up the fundamental deadzone issue with the sticks because of the adjustable tension. Adjustable tension is awesome, but when you have it at any setting below the tightest the stick just moves freely in a large area and causes deadzone issues in tons of games. This has been an issue on all the controllers and I assume its just down to how the adjustable tension works.

    It seems like a lot of these aren't repairs just sending me new controllers and every single one has had issues that have made them far worse than years or decades old controllers I have.

    Whats the point of warranty if every single controller has issues?

    :)

    Xbox Series X losing Controller Connection

    Thank you for this; the issue is that the pair button on the Series X does not work most of the time. It just does not start the pairing process; I have multiple older Xboxs including the Xbox One X and the Xbox One Elite and neither had an issue pairing
    the Elite 2.

    Xbox X controllers disconnecting

    This is happening to me too, only after last May 2022 update. I have a Elite series 2 controller and the only way I can play without constant disconnect is to leave the charger cord connected at all times.

    Elite Series 2 Controller has unresponsive face buttons (ABXY)

    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.
