Sticking triggers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I purchased this item it was working fine after using the trigger stops to not over use them it felt sticky Left trigger sticking after use for 1 week I can’t use the left trigger stop because it makes a weird sound when pushed down.

First one wont stay powered on!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Anyone that has an elite 2 controller. I just got mine on the 31st. Took it out the box and fully charged it. After first time of usiing it, it cut off almost 2 min after using it and wouldnt turn back on. Thinking it didnt charge correctly, i put it hack on the charger where it sat for a whole weekend. Even the light was solid on the battery indicator. I picked up the controller last night, verified it was at full charge and it cut off on me about 15 min in and wouldnt turn back on. The only way to turn back on is to plug it in, which states its at full charge. Contacted xbox and they are sending me a new one. I went to my local bestbuy and they didnt have another one in stock and told me the only way they can get another one is if i return mine and them order the new one. I dont understand why they couldnt just order a new one and me exchange it when it comes in, but o well. Guess ill see what xbox sends me.

Button issues out of the box
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chalk me up as another person who had issues with the A button in particular out of the box. Just very flakey response and would sometimes release when it was still being held down. Seems to be a common issue on a very expensive controller. Returned.

Not so great
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first it was great, we were playing like the pros then it started to switch up. The panels jammed and wouldn’t reflect what I was doing on the screen. It’s works one day and can’t even use it the next.

Bad stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have now bought 2 of these remotes and they both have an insane amount of stick drift. You can only negate the dead zone by so much before there is no stick response at all. You would think Microsoft would have designed a better remote by now.

Xbox elite series
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller was in ok condition, however have reason to believe that the product was previously owned. I paid full price for a brand new controller, and one of the code for xbox live game pass had been previously used, not exactly something you’d expect from a “brand new” product
