    I have owned 2 Series 2 Elite Controllers. Both stopped working about a year and a half later with light use. In both my cases, the controlllers will just turn off randomly, whether it is plugged in or not. Also, the sticks will bounce back a bit. For example if you push a character in a certain direction, then let go of the stick, the stick will bounce in the other direction, making your character face the wrong way. It is frustrating. You can look up other complaints of shoulder buttons stop working, stick drift, etc. I really want to like these controllers, but they should be MUCH better built for $200. Do Not Buy.

    So far I really like this controller. Button customization is nice, control feels really solid and being able to just drop it in the case and charge is awesome

    The premier “pro” Xbox controller, however they are continually plagued by bumper malfunctions. If had 3 over the past 4-5 years, however no other controller comes close to feel. I recommend getting the year warranty as I’ve needed to swap them almost yearly with fairly heavy use.

    Adjustable triggers are wonderful and the texture if the controller itself is awseome, especially if your hands are moist.

    This is the controller the system should come with. It’s fantastic, although I still find myself preferring the dual sense for its haptics.

    Left bumper failing after 7 months

    Best controller I’ve owned by far. Worth the price, BUT 7 months in after medium use (~500 hours?) and the left bumper is becoming inconsistent. It registers a press ~75% of the time and I expect it to keep getting worse. I looked it up and this seems to be a common issue unfortunately. I would expect better longevity for the price you pay.
