XBOX ELITE Series 2 Controller Problems | Responding to Comments

I know I mentioned this in our initial look at the XBOX Elite V2 Controller and I think this still rings true, myself as well as all the other reviewers taking first impressions and performance reviews on this product couldn't truly speak for the durability and lifespan of the V2. Thank you all for the comments and feedback in the previous review. Due to the sheer volume of negative feedback and customer input in our comments section of the product I felt that is was only right to spread the word on the issue and help make Microsoft be aware of the persistent challenges that are inhibiting the enjoyment of their customers experiences.

I just walked through a Walmart on a whim about 2 hours away from me. They had one controller in their display case, and it was an elite. It wasn't even on their website. You better believe I bought it.

When they inevitably release a series 3 they better have learned their lessons. Cause its just ridiculous considering the price tag and how many people have issues. With the large amount of problems customers are having, youd think there would be a recall.

You have to clean it with alcohol and a q tip get in every crease and clean everything in the whole area

[@CryptoNerdo]

@@kevingrus3297 A couple of days ago I started to experience left stick drift, it started out of nowhere but I thought is was me. I tried alcohol and q-tip and nothing changed. I have had my controller for 7 months now and I am not sure if the component that controls the y axis broke or I got some dirt in it. Repairs for this problem are upwards of 80$ and I dont want to spend that money or open up my controller (little experience in that area). If you an give me any other tips it would be appreiciated.

[@sxrf5305]

In not doing this for attention, I'm being 100% honest, I have gone through 4 repairs all due to the same problem, double pressing bumpers, it's gotten to the point where the controller has spent more time in repair, than in my possession, it is truly mind boggling how such a rich and wealthy corporation has cheeped out on a product based around the premise of buying a controller hat is not cheap for better performance, defeating the purpose of the product itself, with it's main selling point being the quality as compared to a standard controller, which is truly mind boggling as the standard controller is undeniably more durable , there is no reason as to why a controller that costs 200 dollars is inherently less durable and less reliable as compared to a standard 50 dollar controller, it's a joke.

[@qp-r2276]

Same the bumpers are so cheap, i had problems with the RT and LT and i cannot even click it i need to have pressure just to Click RT and LT and its hard as a rock, i bought it 12 days ago and uts broken.

[@sxrf5305]

UPDATE. I shit you not got the controller back 4 days ago and it is already broken guess I have to ship it back and wait another month and a half for the controller, which I GUARANTEE will break in less than a week just to repeat the process over again. I know these controllers have a majority of young customers that are super anxious to get their hands on these controllers, but I urge you to wait for an official statement from Microsoft regarding these controller before buying one, I promise you will get little to no playtime if you do otherwise.

[@Kayaus95]

I got mine since the release day, and I always take care of my gaming equipment, so the V2 I pre-ordered has held up perfectly fine until about a month ago. I had slight drift on my L. Stick, which I could deal with, but then a couple weeks later my R. Bumper started to gradually get harder and harder to press and finally register, bringing me to last night looking up how to tear it apart, safely and with Xbox tools, and figuring out what the actual problem is. There's a "box" the R. Bumpers hit when pressed on a white circular panel. Inside that is where the wiring is either touching each other - hence the double action - or is loose which caused my case because I use it a lot for reloading, yet I couldn't to save my life. So now, I might be going back to my V1 because I never had a problem with it. The hell is up with Microsoft making crap electronics that are supposed to be, y'know, ELITE?!

[@BruxaPumpkin]

My LB and Rn haven’t registered for almost 6 months and now I just switched the button mapping to the paddles for LB and RB. Was much better till I upgraded to a series x now my buttons will randomly go off including the button mapping button in the middle so that’s a thing. Had it for almost 2 years now

[@anthonyrios1187]

Mine was working great no problems but stopped working today. It won’t turn on now for some reason, it just flashes twice and then turns off I’ve even done it while it’s plugged in so it’s charged. I’ve also tried two different chargers so idk what the problem is.

[@Abitofeverything4]

I just had to return mine because the ‘Y’ button wouldnt be registering every time I pressed it. How the hell can Microsoft charge $250 AUD and it have all these issues yet their standard controller has literally 0 issues... like c’mon.

[@michaellow4697]

Benny95 it’s called quality control. Standard controller has the same issues.

[@Destins2]

That’s what comes with in such a techno savvy world. They need to slow down on all the accessories and focus more on comfortable paddle that work and are durable as well aw quality thumb sticks that can last longer than a couple months. I personally recommend Sony back button attachment if you’re on PS4 and strike pack of on Xbox

[@jhzwwe123]

I have the same problem. I have to press harder on Y than any other button sometimes. Also, my left stick is stuck in. When I click it, it doesn't make the same noise and feel as the right stick. But that's because Modern Warfare has tactical sprint, and I use it alot. The RB button also presses twice for me

That's what I ask

[@callumdoust8009]

My back paddle has stopped working now. And my left thumb stick won’t click in properly and is preventing me from sprinting in all action games. How do I fix this

[@loadedlemon]

I’ve had mine since Christmas 2019, about a month ago I started having problems with RB not registering every time I pressed it. It has continued to get worse over time, and it’s gotten to the point where it only registers less than 50% of the time (even while I’m making the conscience effort to press it more firmly). Occasionally when it does register, it double clicks. I’ve also had a problem for a very long time with the sticks failing to center while I’m not touching them. This has caused stick drift for any dead zone under 14%. I did some research online and found if you push your trigger all the way down (with the trigger stoppers off) you can blow into the opening at the top to help the bumper register. It does a decent job at helping the problem, but you need to blow excessively hard into the opening for it to make any difference, and it only helps for about 30 minutes until it starts getting bad again.

[@dansbigfanguitarist]

Have you tried taking the controller apart yourself and cleaning the bumpers out with alcohol or nail polish remover? Several people say this works for the bumper issues and stick drift issues.

[@v_jaek]

that's exactly what's happening with mine

[@loadedlemon]

blazed v2 in the little guide in the packaging with all the fine print it says that there is a 1 year warranty for the controller excluding problems like “normal wear and tear” and liquid or impact damage. I’m trying to see if I can get a replacement or a repair through the warranty.

I play competitive fortnite and im on my 3rd elite v2, double tapping bumpers and absurd analog drift are just a few of the main issues with mine.... some other issues include, my x button and paddles not registering. I fortunately have a warranty on my 3rd one but they are sold out everywhere and cannot get a replacement.... For the time being i have switch back to my elite v1 and it has honestly felt like heaven even though the grips are falling off and the bumpers are out of socket, this due to it being 3 years old.... I really hope Microsoft does something soon about these controllers....

[@DK22200]

The issue with my elite two controller it connects, but I can’t move or do anything I can only hold the home button and bring up the menu. How do we fix this issue?

[@brandongutierrez8383]

I’ve had my controller for a few months now but I’ve had issues out of the box. I have it registered but I’m not going to ask for a replacement until I can confirm that the problem has been fixed, it’s a waste of time and money to do it now. The issues I’ve been experiencing would be that the LB and RB double clicks at times, X A B or Y would not be registered at times and drifting on both sticks. I also have a feeling that the control sometimes gets overwhelmed when pressing too many buttons and that’s when double pressing A or another action goes undetected. Other than that the quality is perfect and the overall feel of this controller is amazing.

[@Bbknuckles]

I got mine on pre-order and it was amazing... until about a week ago. Now it disconnects every 15-20mins out of nowhere. It’s very annoying especially when I’m in a sports game where disconnecting is the difference between winning and losing. Sucks because I loved this controller so much. Everything about it’s design is perfect. I guess I’m such a fan boy that I’ll probably just go buy a new one eventually.. I’m a sucker for punishment apparently.

[@constantine008]

Please help: I just got a new elite 2, when I put it on the charger, the controller vibrates and when I press hold the home button the light goes on, the controller works for a few seconds and then it's turned off! Is this a faulty unit or what?

[@Anonymous-vh9tc]

When a controller is this complex there is so many moving parts (even for just a single button). Not really surprised about the higher failure rates. Hope they release a version with the paddles but without all the other bells and whiles.

[@corbinwarren8455]

They have THE best paddles out of all the pro controllers hands down. I can live without the thumb sticks being changed out and the grips easy.

[@zakbutz8226]

Corbin Warren true I like it when the paddles are almost hugging the controller similar to how the strikepack does it... just ordered my Astro c40 and I’ve heard those are the most natural feeling so I’m excited to find out

[@Cryptic0013]

Correction: It has *fewer* moving parts than their regular controllers, once half the buttons get stuck, and the bumpers fall off.

[@grxy5924]

Zak Butz how is your Astro holding up? That’s the only pro controller I’m considering buying. As I’ve heard nothing but good reviews on that.

[@zakbutz8226]

Skyler Dutton not even gonna lie taking that thing out of the box and holding it in your hands feels like sex. It’s fucking awesome. And the back paddles are beyond incredible it feels incredibly natural and not even gonna lie I think it was a little bit of placebo but I genuinely felt like I was better the players I was going up against. The only issue I’ve had with it is that the bumpers are a bit bulky and can sometimes be hard to register/click if you’re trying to make quick plays in games like Fortnite that heavily rely on utilizing the bumpers. Not really enough to keep me from buying but it’s worth noting. The only other issue I’ve had is the stick drift especially if you play with a low deadzone and even despite resetting the controller the issue is still there. It’s not anything major but I just like to play on very low deadzones so I noticed it right away. And the stick drift doesn’t really effect gameplay terribly as it only occurred when I would make very tiny micro adjustments. If I’m being honest I would be very happy paying like 175 for the product but I have no regrets. Shit is still amazing lol

[@willy2535]

Got the controller at release and was loving it! Up until last week when one of the trigger toggles fell off and what I thought was a solid plastic toggle was just a rubber tip. Took it in for a replacement, 2 days with the replacement and the Xbox logo light turned red, never seen or heard of that happening before. No onto my 3rd controller, no issues so far (touch wood).

[@OdinWright]

I've had my controller since early January, and I've only started having issues with the right bumper not responding as much unless I use more pressure. I can temporarily fix it by holding down the trigger and blowing under the bumper. I have no issues with any of the face buttons because I use all four paddles. Only time I use buttons is for fighting games (which I don't usually play). Edit: Found out my warranty was still up; sent my controller in for either a replacement or refurbish. It arrived at Microsoft today. I'll make an update in around 10 days.

[@BionicBurke]

EVERY SINGLE CONTROLLER I have ever had by Microsoft has had the right bumper die. Every single time... I was considering an Elite but now I'm going with Scuf.. They just got purchased by Corsair so I expect big quality boosts. The only issue I've see with those is the little spacer pad on the face plates likes to move and cause stick sticking. Easy fix... I also think the modular design might last longer. Broken button? You can replace it! Not so much with this thing...

The button where u select the button layout keeps shutting off and I keep trying to use my paddle and it’s off I turn it back on and then turns back off randomly

This has been my third replacement in a row with inconsistent A presses, especially when pressing from the bottom left side. I'm convinced anyone who hasn't had this issue just hasn't noticed it yet or doesn't play any games like platformers that rely on tightly timed A button presses.

2021, been through at least 6 of them. I'm convinced they are doing this on purpose. I've searched reddit, youtube, google.. it doesn't matter, the EXACT same issues. The new issue i'm facing this year though is left analog not clicking down and A not registering.

[@literallyyourmom6970]

I’ve had my controller for almost half a year, it was breaking after 2 months. Wasn’t very major, just the triggers making a really loud noise. Then more recently my bumpers would start to either double input or just not respond at all. As of 20 minutes ago, the controller has entirely stopped working.

[@mrfreshenglish5831]

F man rip

[@ficedulamortis6434]

The right bumper on mins has completely stopped working today. No big deal I thought, I'll just remap it to one of the paddles, as I was only using two. No dice, the top small paddles barely work, because of the shape of the controller, and I guess the actually bottom that gets clicked is slightly lower than it should be, so I can only really use 2 paddles

I've had mine a month after its release (so almost a year ago) and I'm getting at least 95% of these problems. I'm having the rb double click 50% of the time, a button doesnt work sometimes, and have been getting stick drift recently. I'm not sure if it's how it was made or there needs to be a update to fix these problems, but I hope i can get it fixed. Other than those problems it's a really good quality controller.

[@val2alive]

Mine what happened was theres like a mic cable stuck in there and I can’t search up how to take it out bc it’s not the same controller

[@americanbuffalo7802]

Just got one and wow, not good. Now first, question: When people say "stick drift," are they meaning you hit the stick to turn your view and it just...keeps turning? Like signal lag? If so, that is what this one is doing. Also, it sometimes does what you want, as far as with the buttons, jump, shoot, change weapons, whatever...then other times, it just seems to not be communicating with my PC and doesn't react, at all. I thought it was some kind of calibration issue but after seeing this, not sure it is.

[@ouki4925]

There's a stupid bug that when you charge your controller via the USB cable to a PC, it will never be able to pair with Bluetooth unless you click on Remove Device and add a new bluetooth again.

They design them to be replaced. That's why they have the same 90 day warranty as the rest of their garbage controllers.

While this is an “old” video, I bought one of these controllers on Friday. Within 1 hour the A and X buttons stopped working. I was able to verify that the controller continually “presses” these inputs even if they were not being pressed by trying to calibrate the controller. Quality control still seems to be an issue. It’s a shame, for the 1 hour it worked it was the best feeling controller I’ve ever had.

[@drudickson1611]

I ran into a new one where the headset I'm using for the elite series 2 controller registers audio, but not my mic

[@torb-no]

Had mine for around a month now. I've occasionally had connection issues and occasionally I've had couple of second long framedrops (might as well be freeze, talking 1-5 fps here) during Halo MCC (i play on Windows 10) which I suspect is due to the bluetooth connection issues tho I can't say for sure. Those problems are quite rare tho and I'm mostly happy (tho I think somerthing this expensive ought to be more robust). One problem that I have that is consistent is that whenever I connect it to USB (which I have to do to configure it in Windows 10) it never manages to connect to it again unless I unpair and pair it again, which is kinda annoying (tho I configure rarely). I still *love* this controller tho. I have a slight disability in my right thumb which makes most typical controllers quite painful to use, the adaptions this one allows (the paddles in particular) allows me to play games with much less pain that I had before so for me it serves more of a “adaptive controller” function than a pro gamer function. I really hope Microsoft manages to fix the issues tho, as it's otherwise a really great controller.

I've had buttons stick on me I played through it till they stopped. Thought it was a me issue from snacking. Now lately the RB hasn't been registering 100% of the time. Again thinking it's from the controller dropping on the floor a time or 2. Then it randomly disconnects when charging. Possible BT issue? Last night however, in vanguard the entire controller just essentially froze a few times. Light stayed on but none of the buttons registered so I had to try and restart the controller to reboot it and get it to work.
