Poor durability
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These things are made to be fixed. I'm on my 5th one and the warranty on this one will probably expire before I'm able to send for another replacement. These are too expensive to be this fragile.

Bad Product, Worse Service!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Crappy product. The left joystick quit working. Apparently a massive defect. Microsoft finally acknowledged huge issues and extended the warranty, but you have to mail it to them and wait months for a repair. Horrible customer service!

Not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the extra 120$. The one I bought stopped being seen by my Xbox one as soon as the battery died. Less than a week. Xbox wouldn’t even see it plugged into the USB port. Save the money & just buy a regular one. I’ve also read the suffer the same drift issues as a regular controller. Thumbs down.

Too many issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My controller started having bumper issues and would double register or not register. The switches on the back for the triggers also broke very easily. I sent it back to Microsoft for a replacement and the exact same thing happened again for the 2nd time. Would not recommend

CONTROLLER DRIFT
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had the controller for a little over a week and I noticed that the right stick has drift which was supposed to have been fixed in the prior Series 1 but somehow Microsoft did not care to fix this problem. Waste of $180, please do not buy this Scuff controller you will regret it after a couple hours.

Sucks, drifting after 6 months.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product doesn't even have a 1 year warranty, 90 days and then you're on your own for another 100$ to have them send you a refurb. Don't get duped for $180 not worth it. At least give a 1 year warranty with your product Microsoft.

Useless protection plan
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Spent $220 on this controller plus the protection plan. Left joystick gave out 3 months in. Can't use product replacement with zero stock available since a long time ago. Tried shopping open box for now only to have that order immediately cancelled. The listing is there but it's not actually available.

Great controller, terrible bumpers
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good controller if you already own an elite and have the bumpers/thumb sticks However the bumper issue STILL exists with these controllers and not even two months after purchase, the left bumper maybe works half the time Immensely disappointed in Microsoft’s inability to figure this problem out.

Dead zone makes it unusable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two controllers, both with massive dead zones right out of the box. Stock controllers have less dead zone. It is not worth the money since Microsoft could care less about the issue.
