My elite 2 broke after 2 months of use with bumper problems. it has been a absolute nightmare trying to get it replaced. I have an extended warranty through Best Buy and Microsoft they are both giving me a hard time but admitted the bumper was broke. I spoke to a Microsoft ambassador over Twitter and they said they knew the bumpers were still not fixed and they don't know if they are ever going to be fixed. This was also a well known problem in the elite 1's. This is my 6th elite controller due to past broken controllers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Series 2 controller does not use any glue or adhesive at all for the grip - instead it’s now a built in part of the controller shell and has multiple clips in place, which will eliminate the possibility of grips peeling.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 was inspired by fan feedback and has been re-engineered for ultimate performance, customization, and durability. This means that specific components, such as the bumpers, thumbsticks, and grip, were completely redesigned for improved durability, extended usage, and different styles of gameplay. This led to new innovations such as adjustable-tension thumbsticks, feature evolutions such as shorter hair trigger locks, and general improvements such as re-engineered components to create today’s iteration of the world’s most advanced controller.
