    Xbox One Elite Series 2 Controller RB Unresponsive


    I'm just going to preface by saying I know I'm not the first person to experience this.

    I purchased my elite series 2 controller in January of 2020, and have taken great care of it as I do all my hardware. I'm now experiencing an unresponsive RB button, and have seen other reports of it being a known issue with the series 2. I'm not hard on
    any of my buttons, and have never had trouble with an unresponsive bumper - no game or app in particular has caused me be hard on my right bumper.

    That said, my controller is outside of the 90 day warranty period. What I find interesting is that when I requested warranty replacement for my elite series 1 due to a stick drift issue (another known problem) it was replaced by Microsoft no issue - though
    I'd had it for approximately a year before it was replaced.

    What I'm wondering is why was my year old elite series 1 replaced, but not my 8 month old elite series 2. The kicker is that all issues I've experienced with these controllers are NOT user generated, but known defective product issues - always xbox fault,
    never mine, as like I said I take great care of my hardware.

    I can't help but feel a strong sense of resentment and distrust with Microsoft now, because I love the elite controllers and their features - but to have KNOWN DEFECTIVE issues on 150-$200 controllers is simply egregious.

    I don't feel as though I should be punished for this issue happening outside of a short 90 day warranty period.

    On top of that, of course they don't offer phone support for this.

    I'm posting here in hopes somebody has had a similar experience and successfully had their elite 2 replaced, and can walk me through how I can accomplish that as well.

    Thank you

    :)

    My elite series 2 rb button doesnt work and i cant find a replacement button how do i fix this
    Microsoft knew the controllers were defective and still sold them as a good product. they wont do anything to fix your controller because its most like out of warranty thats why the warranty was so short. The whole elite series 2 was a scam

    Xbox elite series 2 problems

    I would say yes. A lot of elite controllers (series 1 and 2) have several manifacturing problems, the most common are RB/LB malfunctioning and sticks.

    Lack of Controller care and innovation

    Sorry to hear you are unsatisfied with the current Xbox controllers, however, the question forum is the incorrect place to post your feedback. Unless you are asking about current Xbox controller advancements in-which case that would be the Xbox Elite Controller
    Series 1 and Xbox Elite Controller Series 2. The Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 being the newest on the market and being awarded,
    "Best of E3 2019 - Hardware/Peripheral" - Game Critics Awards.
