    Xbox elite v2 controller bumpers no longer responding to presses


    Hi,

    I have had an xbox elite v2 controller for about 6 months now and the bumpers are no longer responding and/or double pressing. I have it registered in the devices page and it still has warranty until next year. When I try to log a device service and repair
    this is what it says:
    Xbox elite v2 controller bumpers no longer responding to presses [​IMG]


    After I click 'contact us' it asks me what the issue is and when I fill out the details it says 'Phone calls and chats aren't available for this issue.'

    So have I wasted $250 on a faulty product that microsoft isn't willing to replace even though it is still in warranty?

    Thanks,

    :)

    Extremely frustarted - Controller broken and cannot create Service Request for the Elite Controller 2 which is still in warranty!

    I had in fact two V1 controllers as well and the bumpers on both were worse as the design of the bumper functionality was relying on simple piece of plastic. Basically both bumpers were in same plastic piece, which would eventually break. Hence why they
    sell those pieces in Amazon nowadays. Another issue in V1 was the rubber at the bottom of the controller could loosen up because the glue lost it's grip presumably due temperature - reminding to never leave those controllers on top of anything warm (e.g. on
    top of a laptop). V1 had bad design flaws.

    In V2 the bumpers are no longer (seemingly?) connected in same plastic and I do get more satisfying click sound when pressing the bumpers. Also the rubber handles are now better on the controller surface. Problem with V2 is deeper: when you press the bumper
    - the press doesn't register about 20-30% of the time. Or sometimes it registers as 2 quick presses instead which is an issue not alone in regular menus, but as an example in Destiny 2 when playing Titan class: if you want to create your bubble shield you
    need to hold both bumpers - if you just click both bumpers it pops the regular shield instead. So many times I've tried to create bubble shield and instead getting the regular shield because system registers right bumper as two quick presses, not one long
    press. Luckily there's now a setting in Destiny 2 that lets you prolong the double tap timeframe.

    I'm not sure if it's something wrong with pressure mechanism when bumper goes down, or in circuits with some connector pin/trace that isn't working properly.

    Elite series 2

    Hey I have got an Elite Series 2 controller the day it was released and it's a really good controller in my opinion. The only thing that I have a problem with is the bumpers LB and RB. They move twice when pressed instead of once like it should. I try moving
    tabs on Xbox Home by pressing the bumpers and it goes to far right or left kind of annoying at times.

    Other than that its a good controller the trigger stops are nice as well and the paddles are smaller than the Previous Elite Controller.

    Why is customer friendliness so bad when it comes to warranty cases?

    I
    tried to fill out repair order, but, as mentioned above, those are the only options i got.

    Bumper IS a known issue, as you can see.

    Btw., it doenst matter what caused 2 years warranty, it is in place and i'm in the right to use it.
