    The A button was sticking for a while after I purchased it. Took a while to loosen it up but it works fine now.

    Unfortunately it had to be returned because one of the thumb sticks would stick in whichever direction it was pushed. But I'm sure overall they are fine. I simply got a replacement and have not had any problems with the 2nd elite controller since.

    Understand that this product can come with issues. I recommend insurance on this product for easy exchange. Use the hell out if this remote. If you don’t and don’t have insurance you make see issues down the road and it may have issues when it’s out of manufacture warranty. I believe Microsoft recently increased the duration of their warranty but sending things to them and getting them back can take a month
