    This is my 6th elite controller I’ve purchased (had to trade in 5 others before returning in the past due to button input issues) and it had been working great for just about a year before the left bumper basically stopped working. For a controller this expensive there shouldn’t be this many issues. It was just outside of warranty so now I have to pay $80 to have it repaired…
