    Microsoft -Xbox Elie Wireless Controller Series 2 A complaint is it hits them together the trigger stop on each side fell off which is a weird thing it's happen for such a high priced item. Yes, you can even play and charge at the same time. The first series did have some issues. From wearing out thumb sticks to sprint/melee buttons

    Worthless after 2 months

    This broke after only two months. The right joystick, which I never use, spins freely when centered, and gets stuck when I move it up. Microsoft warranty is worthless as it costs $49 for shipping and parts. It lists specific parts but I don't even know if that will fix it. This is the most I have paid for a controller and have been very careful with it. My old, generic XBox controller lasted for years.

    The controllers are not built as good as they used to be. Before you could hang on to a controller for 2 years and now you are changing them every couple of months bc of the lack of quality. We will see if this one lasts at all.
