    This is the 2nd controller purchased and within year buttons are coming off, same thing happened with last one. Other than that controller worked great, but don't want to have to keep buying a new controller due to same issue.

    Got an open box - I had to return it via the Microsoft warranty 3 months later but for the price (120$) it was worth it since they sent me a brand new one right after.

    First off, I’ll say that i had the first series of elite controller and i loved it. So naturally when i saw the series two come out, i had to get one. And here is where i get frustrated. Ive had not one, but two series two controllers and i wont buy another. I had the first one for maybe a month before LB, RB, and A buttons stopped working. Then when i went through the process to get it replaced under my warranty, it took weeks before i got my new one. Now with my second one, it lasted only two weeks longer than my first one before i had the same issues. Both the LB and RB buttons stopped working completely and the A button is starting to go as well. To sum it up, these controllers would be amazing if the buttons lasted but they wear out in no time and stop working. And its a shame cuz i was a big fan of the first series considering i had it for years til i bought the series 2.
