Microsoft did not improve the Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller about 6 months ago, and right out of the package I noticed the buttons (mostly A and B) not registering when pressed. I ran the button registration tester in settings and about 2 out of every 10 presses were registering. I returned this controller thinking it was just bad luck, but the new one had the exact same problem. Now 3 months later the controller has developed the worst stick drift I have experienced in a controller. Really Microsoft? What an upgrade from the Elite 1, you guys really learned from that one. I will be exchanging once again when Best buy has one in stock. Truly pathetic. In no way is this review about Best buy! They are a great company to work with and really take care of you in cases like this. There is a reason Microsoft doesn't warranty their own pathetic products.

Great controller while it lasts.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We own two of these series 2 “ elite” controllers and now this is the second time both controllers have had to be replaced in the past year due to the bumpers and/or triggers failing. Prior to this we had the first elite controllers and they had to be replaced 12 times between the 2 controllers due to the same failures. It’s funny how our $60 controllers that came with our systems are still in great order and functioning properly. I don’t think we will be buying these again. It’s disappointing to know that Microsoft can make a great system but can’t produce a controller that will last. To top it all off, Buy Buy is “out of stock” because these controllers are always failing. It’s so bad that Best Buy hiked their replacement/warranty fee for this item.
