Xbox One Elite Controller - LB defect

schuwi2000 · Dec 22, 2017

I got the controller in April 2017. Now, the left Button (LB) is noch completely defect, but it reacts only with special pressure from above.

Can i use an exchange by guarantee?

Concerning the Elite Controller

Xbox Elite controller is an excellent controller, but i feel like the LB+RB buttons can use an upgrade.

I went through 2 elite controller where my LB button just snapped loose.

I constantly use LB for games that provide the "bumper jumper control scheme"

If Microsoft ever came to upgrade those buttons like making them metal or not having the LB and RB connected together as one plastic piece, i would be happily to purchase another one.

Thanks.

I believe that the elite controller only has a 90 day warranty

I have an xbox one elite controller, it's working fine - Use it as my primary controller and the grips / buttons all work fine, you must have been unlucky and received a defective unit.

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're having issues with your Xbox One Wireless Elite Controller's thumb sticks and previously with the LB and RB functions. Take a look at this support article describing:

This is the first I have heard of this on the new elite 2 controller. I have four elite controllers and no issues from manufacture defect. Hopefully, you get a good one under warranty and enjoy your gaming. Best wishes. ☺️
