The Elite Series 2 is NOT The Best Controller | Honest Review (Early 2021)

[@rcdarkangel]

I just gotta say, I am incredibly impressed by your work. Solid content my dude.

[@vCuda]

Thank you so much!

[@btb4591]

My only issue with the Wolverines (and any third party controller really) is that, since it’s wired, it messes up my voice in parties on console, due to ground loop. Other than that though, they’re great controllers and I highly recommend them, especially if you’re on PC looking for a controller.

[@Михасьнкогнто]

[@eliseenicolas8521]

Whiles calling MS shit, remember they are providing you with a premium device. It's not for everyone. I bought 2 with warranty. And I barely use them. Because they are premium. I use my kick around controller for hard core sweat matches. But for competition with the fellaz I'll bring my elites. Their beautiful. Makes for great conversation while knowing you have the edge on the others. Great vid though. No drifting with that mouse for sure lol

[@MrGamerguide90]

Awesome video! I’ve enjoyed my Elite 2 for some time now and your thumb stick video was super informative too. I noticed that your small paddles for your V2 are actually on the opposite sides. I wanted to mention it because I’ve tried them both ways and there is definitely a huge difference. You may find that swapping their sides makes them even more comfortable to use. If you try it out let me know what you think!!

I think the first gen Elite controllers were built better, and I did had a sticky “A” button issue, but was easily fixed with a little silicone cone oil. I still have my first gen Elite working with no other issues. Thank TMH.

Best Buy offers a great warranty, 2 years for $60. I get to exchange controllers, no questions asked

[@thelizardkingdc]

Just got mine a week ago and got the best buy warranty with it, its great but the right joystick is already off center … not drifting but annoying

[@xXClassicUserXx]

Damn i paid 50 for 1

[@MrEddyedr]

Why is it 60 bucks? I thought it was only like 30

[@carlom.3737]

Bought the 3 year warranty from the Microsoft store (when they were a thing). First elite 2 had right bumper failure within a year. MS replaced it under that extended warranty. Now replacement has same issue five months in. Time to try the wolverine ultimate because I do need the added buttons on the bottom for Destiny 2 PvP.

[@MarsPaterRomanorum]

The analog of the elite 2 are very inaccurate, the spring weighed down by the base with the magnet does not have a linear stroke and has a slow return compared to the basic controllers, then the analog with adjustable voltage certainly has a design defect because the analog moves a couple of millimeters and the spring does not register the movement, I installed a normal thumbstick of the Microsoft base controller on my elite series 2 and I must say that the situation and improved,nice review You are the only one who tells the truth, greetings from Italy ..

[@Protrainer77]

So glad I could return it!! Honestly. Major issue was how slick it felt in my hand. No I don't have sweaty hands. But the grips are trash.

[@roofcollapse3668]

I just bought this yesterday and am going to return and just replace my Wolverine controller.

[@roofcollapse3668]

In reference to the grips....it is way overly grippy. Too much grip.

[@t0xx_tv]

Found this channel out of the blue when I was looking to buy this controller or not, so damn refreshing to see someone give honest reviews and having fun doing it. Keep it up.

[@poloblanco2903]

Thanks!!!!! for an honest Review. The Elite is amazing but is not worth it for all the issues I've had. The buttons started to not work kind of like after 6 months (and I'm a regular - Casual - Wireless controller user), the same with the sticks, I've received like 3 replacements and all of them not worked correctly, seems like each time they sent me one was worst than the older. Now my guarantee has expired and I have a controller that is not useful anymore. Instead I still have the one it came with my xbox one(1st gen) and that one stills working since 2016 WTF. All the persons I know that have bought this controller have complains about it. Only youtubers(some) are saying this is great and that they never had problems, that it is a matter of luck if yours will have issues or not.

[@vCuda]

About the warranty, I think labeling it a "scam" might be a bit of an oversight on my part with the wording. I wouldn't say its a "scam" exactly, I think its really just Microsoft throwing up the middle finger to us elite owners, thats all lol. "You've owned this controller for a year, and it broke after a couple months? Yeah, well, you're 2 weeks past your warranties expiration date, so🖕🏽" Edit: Updated reliability issues at 6:13 1. A Button Failure 2. Stick Drift 3. Bumper Failure 4. Trigger Issues

[@sleepingemu6162]

I'm not trying to be rude or anything and I really appreciate your advice but I have had my Xbox elite series 1 controller for 2 years and right now it's still good. I used to get really angry at games and drop my controler with a fair bit of force. I also have dropped my controller like a lot. The only problems I have had with it are the bumpers snapping but I bought a replacement one and thats all good, my headphone jack that I just replace with an old Xbox controllers one and just recently a tiny bit of stick drift but only when I'm not touching it. I also mash my buttons when I play so I'm pretty rough with it and I'm actually good at the games I play.

[@vCuda]

@@sleepingemu6162 well, there's nothing rude about it lol. However, just because your experience is good, doesn't mean that's the case for everyone else. This is common issue i see all the time. I'm glad you had a great experience with your series 1 man, that doesn't take away from the fact that they're poorly made, and in dire need of improvement. Not just the elite controllers either, Xbox controllers in general are just god awful with reliability

How many hours do you have on this? I see some reviews that say "This is great a year in, I have no problems, I must have at least 200 hours on this" and some that say "This thing is straight trash. It broke after 2 months, that's only 700 hours of gameplay for me."

[@vCuda]

Not exactly sure with this one. But all the reliability reports, and issues I talk about are true unfortunately. The series 2 isn't all that reliable in The grand scheme of things. Its likely to last between 6-12 months of use for your average player accroding to my research. But there's another hot spot, and its the 2-5 month mark. People mostly report failures in this time frame, and on the other side of the spectrum, closer to a year. It all depends on playstyle, but either way, it isn't built to last

Own this controller. One, the paddles are too delicate and I’m always worried that I would break one, so I removed all of them. Second, the plus button in the protective case is extremely difficult to remove for use on the controller. Durability-wise, the Elite controllers are the Beats headphones of controllers. Long term build quality involving pretty much every button, analog knob, trigger and bumper concerns me. Things are prone to breaking on this controller and Microsoft doesn’t seem to care about this. I’m not willing to let this pass, because every controller made by Sony for PlayStation, has been excellent in terms of durability.

[@jewelersofwhale]

I love the elite series 2, however the thing i hate about it is that it breaks realy easy. Have you tried Fusion Pro 2 controller? Would like to see if its more durable.

[@spazco8669]

the rubber grips on the fusion started to crumble after 18 months but still works perfectly. It's not as nice a series 2 but it's reliable and a lot cheaper.

[@AyKrax]

I haven't had the elite series 2 very long but the drift is only on minimum deadzone for fortnite I use 8 left 10 right and get 0 drift now for both. The main thing wrong with this controller design wise though are the paddles. They are super uncomfortable to press because you have to stretch your fingers upward to reach them instead of naturally resting on them. I tried putting the series 1 paddles on the elite 2 but the actuators which are the little buttons that the paddles press to register are more indented on the v2 compared to v1. This leads to the elite 1 paddles feeling very mushy especially on the right side of my controller. I'm getting the White Elite which I refer to as the 1.5 because I need a controller with good paddles. I had like 4 fusions with issues and took forever to replace with the warranty which is the reason I switch to elite controllers in the first place. The fusion paddles are very shitty because of metal constantly being pressed against plastic. Then the triggers are just as shit and don't even register at the exact same point 🤦‍♂️. So don't buy a fusion if you want to play paddles or care about triggers. The fusion is really good for right hand claw players though. I'm just hoping the elite 1.5 works out 🙏

[@vCuda]

I've had the fusion, the white series 1, and 2 series 2s. I can definitively say that there isn't a single reliable controller with the elite paddle design. I really didn't wanna believe that either, but its true. Every controller with the offset metal paddles is unreliable, and isn't meant for extended tryhard use lol. Super unfortunate

[@AyKrax]

@@vCuda So what I should do buy another fusion pro and play 2 left paddles and right hand claw?

Claw isnt really something I can give an opinion on tbh. But I'd give the series 1 a go if you can find a white one brand new. If that fails, or you cant find one, it might be a better Idea to go with a stock controller and just play claw. Although, stock controllers aren't really reliable either. So, its really just up to you man. Whichever direction you decide to go, its always going to be extremely uncertain with these things

@@vCuda Appreciate the help I already found a white elite close to perfectly brand new. I have 30 days to return it. If it works out I'm keeping it and returning the v2 if it doesn't work out returning both switching back to powerA but I'm buying from best buy this time with 2 year warranty because they replace really quick.
