Xbox Elite Series 2 DO NOT BUY

Acefondu · Jun 24, 2020

I've had my Elite 2 for 6 months now and the RB button registers maybe half the time if I'm lucky. I have to press very firmly for it to work. Embarrassing quality control. I have SNES controllers from the 90's that still have all working buttons.

What's worse is you only get a 90 day warranty. I called MS to see if they'd fix it anyway, and nope! Cough up $50 for them to fix it. Been gaming for 30 years and I have never had a controller malfunction on me. Not even crappy MadCatz controllers, they
all still work. But this? $190 down the drain.

I thought I was buying a premium item, not some garbage. Worse yet I've seen self repair fixes for the bumpers and take a guess as to how they designed these things? They put a tiny, paper thin piece of plastic in between the button and rubber bit to activate
it. Of course, the cheaply made plastic bit in there is ever so slightly worn down from use, just enough to where it doesn't work right.

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:

Hello, kimchei1125. Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Community expert user. I'll be happy to assist you today.

There is no Elite Series 2 version 1 or 2, my friend. It's Just Elite Series 1 or 2.

Elite Series 1 has only one version (1), and Elite Series 2 has only one version (2).
