Hey bro is that a kylin m tank on your mod in the back
Your review sucks
The Assist Man I got Xbox
Had my elite 1 for years. Elite 2 is amazing. Always loved them. Never had any problems
Because some people press down on there buttons so hard
@@lavontrezmurray5272 that the problem with competitive folks .
people don't look after their items simple as...
I know I have it and it’s so amazing
I literally took care of that controller as how much it was worth and how it should be tooken care of and still the right bumper and no I don't press hard on my controllers
I’ve had an Xbox one controller for 6 1/2 years no problems
I have also have the 3 regular controllers, and an elite series one. They haven’t experienced any problems other than a slight drift in ANY of my controllers.
Was literally hours from buying it Thanks u saved me not just the money but the head ache too 🙏
Same here
Why are there always so many people defending Microsoft's controllers? I see it on every YT video, reddit thread and forums. If people are complaining it isn't just to complain. The design of the controllers is awesome, but they are very cheap and made that way purposefully to make people buy more controllers. The base model is ok as long as you go to amazon and get it for ~$40...but the Elite 1's were trash and they were $150, that's unacceptable. There's always those people though that are like "Mine is fine...Had it since day 1" Ok? Does yours not being broken mean that nobody else is allowed to have problems with them? They are way too overpriced for those types of things to be happening in my opinion. Good vid bro!
THANK YOU. This is exactly what i try to argue with people about everytime. but trust me there are so many ignorant and impatient and dumb people out there i dont waste my time anymore. i just try to help the ones that are smart enough to understand.
The Assist Man or people legitimately DO NOT have the problems you talk about lol
@@brettgabrielson3770 You're reply makes no sense. OF COURSE they don't have the problems...We're talking about the fact that a lot of people DO have quality issues and when its brought up people defend microsoft. Those are who he was referring to as ignorant and dumb...I feel like you're misinterpreting the conversation...
@@brettgabrielson3770 The point is, if you're not having any issues, than awesome...that's how it should be, but a lot of people do have quality issues and it makes no sense for people who don't to hear someone making a complaint about controller quality and take it as some sort of personal attack...it's pretty fucking weird for real...
it is because people don't know how to take care of a controller I have had mine since 2019 and it is perfect because i literally am so careful with it
I had the original elite controller for about 3 years without any problems, then I got the new white one when it was released and have not had any issues so far
Same got elite 2 on release no issues yet even if I do got a warranty
Same . Still pretty good.
The biggest problem I have with every single xbox controller is the usb charging port braking, its almost as if it brakes by itself
I still have Xbox One Elite controller from day 1 and still not a single issue. MS controllers are the only thing that keeps me on Xbox side of the war. So maybe this is an issue with sweaty people or something like that? :D
Had the Elite 1 and now have the Elite 2.
First Elite 1: B button stopped working reliably and grips came off partially, got it replaced after 600 hours
Second Elite 1: headphone jack failed, could be fixed with a new cable, then grips came off completely and now after 1000 hours the left analog stick has 3mm play
First Elite 2: A button missed 10+ inputs per hour after one week, got it replaced
Second Elite 2: holding B button is unreliable, will test on another computer and another game, but will probably also get it replaced
If they don't manage to get me a working one on the third attempt, I'll probably back out of the contract.
Got mine 1 days ago, my A button keeps deregistering while I'm running in gears.
terrible. i would just return it and wait til they fix them
Why don’t u use paddles, is the defected also?
Get a tooth pic and use the end to gently dig around it gently not to deep or to out. Dog around the middle and it will stop you’re a from being stuck I did it works perfectly now
Mine done the same on gears, returned it the next day
@@alexkim3084 because he paid 180 bucks and deserves a controller that works
I just want paddles man... why do they have to cost so much?
Drifting is on every controller it’s bound to happen even with PlayStation
JrInfinityGaming I have my ps4 controller that came with my PlayStation 6 years ago and other than the sticks loosening up slightly, there is no drift. All my regular Xbox one controllers don’t drift either. Astro c40 tr doesn’t drift, and even if it did I could replace the whole module. The only things I’ve experienced stick drift with is my joycons. Everything else has been fine.
@@mikeyhope7577 I've been through 4 ps4 controllers . Got so bad I had to go with razor FINALLY a controller to last me more than a year .
JrInfinityGaming cant be cuz an used ps4 controller does not drift on modern warfare but xbox controller does? Why?
@jan palko and @Mikey hope. That’s what drift is. It’s stick drift. And every controller drifts, I have a ps4 controller and it drifts. And when I get a new controller it takes a while to drift but it happens eventually.
@@TheZezyy 2 of mine drifted and the others just stopped charging.
I have to totally disagree with you because I have the elite controller for over a year and a half and zero issue so far 🤷🏾♂️
thats great. but there are thousands of complaints about them not just mine
I understand that, i will consider myself lucky 😅
Ps controllers get drifting problems with the sticks too.
yeah man they all do. but to have so many issues out of the box or just a few weeks after use on a $200 product is terrible
@@TheRealAssistMan I've had my normal gen 2 ps controller for about 7 months and it is just starting to drift which I guess isn't as bad.
Truth they all suck in there own way
Ps4 controllers are way less reliable than xbox controllers
I literaly bought an xbox when it came out, and my controller feels perfect 6 years later. I bought a ps4 a year ago and now im getting mild stick drift
Ive had mine since launch and so far no problems with mine
How is it now?
@@asphyxiaxd1069 mine is still great. ....I usually play 3 to 4 hours a day and it is working just fine
@@trevorbraden5448 should I buy one ?😅 kinda worried about these controllers breaking and stuff.
@@asphyxiaxd1069 I would feel pretty confident buying one...... from what I heard Microsoft has pretty decent customer service and would exchange it....... and I believe most places give you up to 30 days to exchange it
@@trevorbraden5448 hmmm true. well thanks anyways:) Glad to hear your controller is doing fine!
Merry Christmas )/
I went through 4 elite 1s, luckily I bought the warranty every time ... now I bought the #2 and guess what they don’t do warranty anymore.. at GameStop .. so I’m hoping it doesn’t break :(
why even hold on for hope. i would just return it cause you know your just gonna be out the money when it breaks
The Assist Man we’ll they said I have to go through Microsoft directly but didn’t offer any insight on how much and where I purchase it. I have 30 days to return the controller it’s been about 18, I’m going to call Microsoft and figure it out. If it’s whack I’m returning the controller for sure
They do warranties I got mine day 1
I must have got lucky 4 times over. Bought two elite series 1 controllers shortly after they launch as well as two elite series 2 controllers roughly a year and a half after its launch date. Never had a single problem until one was thrown on or dropped on the ground several times by my child. Even then it still worked for a while. I will say that the button stick has happened with both series’ but not to an extent that made them inoperable. All that said, I wouldn’t throw money at one if you don’t have a lil extra money to treat your self with because although I love my controllers I still feel like Microsoft bent me over a barrel of consumerism
Man I play ps4 and I have the same issues with the controllers. It makes no sense, I have ps1 and ps2 controllers that work fine. You pay more and get worse quality. These damn controllers are worth only $10. My current ps4 controller is already broken after 4 months. I need to buy a warranty next time. My ps4 is still working, but I went through 6 controllers. I think it's a money making scheme so they can sell the consoles for cheaper. Oh ya, I also have nes controllers that still work. Thumbs up
yeah man its just quality controls now a days for everything. they are making things shittier so they break faster so you buy faster.
I just bought my 3rd Xbox one controller today (so far this year) and the home button hardly works.
The first one I bought the right stick keeps moving left even when the stick was in the middle, the 2nd one had a headphone Jack problem and I had the keep moving it around to get sound out of it until it finally stopped working.
These were all normal controllers that cost me €70 each time :/
yeah io know man they just dont hold up long at all if you use them daily
I bought the series 2 about a week and a half ago, and the RB bumber is already having problems, such as if I press it once, it will tap twice, I had the series 1 for 2 years, I had to bring it back and get a new one 3 TIMES, im disgusted with Microsoft and honestly, I hope they discontinue the series cus its just a scam at this point
yup i feel bad for all the people buying them and not knowing the issues
Yeah Xbox controllers are slightly on the cheap side... my elite controller didn’t survive a year but I still have the case it came with lol... my dpad on the regular controllers keep malfunctioning I’ve spent $200 in two years on controllers... just two days ago my buddy on COD says his analog stick keep making his man look up in air!
its terrible man. i am more pissed about this cause they said this one was all new engineering from the inside out and improved everything. but seems its the same ole bs once again. i had high hopes.
I bought a regular Xbox one controller brand new from best buy had to exchange it because it had drift .... I repeat brand new with stick drift
be careful tons of people might tell you that you need to take care of your controllers better lol.
@@TheRealAssistMan you need better content than making it seem that elite 2 or microsoft controllers are faulty as you say. You're just some up an coming youtuber trying whatever to get people to view you and guess didn't work only 7k views since you posted this.
Big deal .. return it and get a good one instead 🤷♂️
@@janekbeeckman that's what exchange means
Instead of comparing the elite to the standard controller, why wouldn’t you compare it to other pro controllers? This videos useless. We all know the prices are pretty unjustifiable, but review this in the pro gaming aspect. Is it worth the price compared to other available options? I have had my elite 1 for 4 years and the only serious issue I have is the grips coming off. But I bought the controller for its remapping and paddles. Pricy yes, but worth it if you want a bit of a competitive edge? Of course.
Ain’t gonna lie this man has valid opinions and is entitled to them. But these controllers are definitely worth it and I enjoy mine and but be aware buy the extended 2 year warranty at Walmart. I never owned the first elite controller and I’m on my third elite 2 controller! 1. Defective right anolog out of the box. 2. Defective d-pad out of the box. 3. No issues yet hopefully I’m saved third times the charm!
my analog stick wouldn’t bump down. returned it and got another.
I bought 3 elite series 2 controllers, two from Microsoft online store and one from Best Buy lot numbers 1939 1942 and 1941 I love the controller it’s so nice and I sweat a lot and still have a good grip on the new rubber material. But from my defective experiences the x and a button sticks when you wanna tap them repeatedly, both joy sticks have stick drift I know Microsoft acknowledges the problems and say that they are investing but how will we know what the next batch will look like when they send it out, will it have a lot number that indicates that these are the fixed new batches etc is my concern. I’m a console siege player and I like to have my dead zones at 5 which is the lowest. For a $180 controller it is unexceptionable to have stick drift they need to have a better quality inspection team make sure the controller is put together nicely and everything is working fine the controller should have a lot of attention to detail.
yup agree
I totally agree man, I just paid 70$ for a controller that was broken, literally came without one of the battery panels... I PAID 70$ FOR A BROKEN CONTROLLER
wow bro that is terrible but it does not surprise me
The Assist Man honestly I’m not surprised either, that’s just my luck lol
Did u buy it used or brand new?
Kate Broderick brand new
blåhundvíking not that easy when you don’t have the receipt.
I am surprised Microsoft hasn’t been sued for Xbox One Controllers.
its like they make them like shit to make people buy them all the time knowing they dont have a long life expectancy
Ds4 is more durable! I got the x box x and ps pro. I used to have the first elite it was good better than the traditional xbox one controller. Il pass n see what they do
I'm still using my Xbox one day one controller and the controller I got from the Xbox one x is still in the box...And I put a least 30 hrs or more a week on my game..Sorry I can't agree with you on this one....
Likewise, I got the elite 1 on launch and hadn't had any problems my brothers still use the same OG controllers after I stopped using them..
I’ve got both the original Xbox one from box controller and the controller that came with my one x. But I only use my birthday gift to myself custom order controller. Never saw the need for the Elites. I just don’t game like that. Paddles and button remapping just isn’t worth my time to learn and or setup.
Agreed. The problem is not as bad as people making click baiting videos like these out to be.
People just have no patience and I would not be surprised if there are fanboys that do not even have an Xbox willing to go through the trouble to buy the controller, open it and use it long enough to create a video slamming it then returning it.
Fanboyism is a fantastic social and psychological study.
Sorry to piss on your fire there but I have an elite series 2 and no problems at all with mine
you do realize you are not pissing on my fire as i was not dumb enough to buy one and dont own one like i said in the video. the goal of this video was to get the complaints and news out to people so they know what they are getting themselves in to and link where all this is happening. thats it.
Good luck
I had my Xbox one s controller for 4 years and only did I run into a problems a few weeks ago and most week days spend 3-4 hours a day and on weekends spend about 10 hours a day
Its called not raging try it some time it saves a lot of money and the controller doesn't break
and how does that have to do anything at all with the video when the topic was them coming broken out the box. ignorance
Mines been a blessing. The new thumb sticks are bomb.
Mr BQNG yeah I’ve had three total and the two before the one I have now have both had major issues. Bad stick drift and bumper issues. I’d recommend the power a
Your studio looks fresh man.
thx bro still need to do a room tour video been forgetting for months lol
Everyone keeps complaining about drift when its happens with every controller eventually, what people forget about is the 2 year warrenty if it breaks within 2 years after purchase u can replace it for a brand new one! Beats any other controller on the market any day imo.
That is false information the warranty is 90 days on parts and 90 days on labor. it is listed like this on every authorized 3rd party site like bestbuy, amazon etc as well as in the paperwork. it is only 90 days.
Both The trigger locks on the series 2 came off completely and it was because it’s made out of cheap rubber and the series 1 trigger locks where made out of metal. Which is weird because the 2 is newer.
I've gone through 3 xb1 controllers and the generic wired controller I got after the first controller broke is the last one standing.
I’ve had my elite series 2 since release.
No issues. If you can’t afford the 2 years of geek squad protection. You must be broke.
So is every single elite controller defected or is it a small percentage of people
i wouldnt say all of them but a big percentage it seems
The Assist Man big percentage such as about 30% or like 80% cause I’m worried cause I legit just got one
I’m testing it rn Looks like I have to click A twice should I return it or not cause I’m going to be using paddles anyways
yeah thats one of the common issues lots were complaining about.
The slack in the stick out of the box is fuckrd
I was about to buy one tomorrow, but after seeing lots of vids and complaints, I decided not to. Your video was the nail on the coffin. Which controller do you recommend tho??? I need one for COD warzone and wanted back paddles or buttons.
I really love the controller then a week into having it my x button Doesn’t register sometimes. I went through six elite controller’s before getting this one. Called GameStop and told them the problem they didn’t have them in stock so they called around and apparently there’s none in stock on Long Island New York because everybody’s having problems so I’m waiting for a new shipment so I can return mine
Strongisland926 six elite controllers?? U either have horrible luck or are just a complete animal on ur sticks... lmao
I’ve had my elite for 2 years and the only “fault” is the left stick is pushed in a lil bit from rocket league lmao
Average anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a day playing Call of Duty. And yeah it’s both I am hard on them plus the bad luck.
I have to get In store even tho it’s hard to get in store ..the elite 2 is working great for me ..
Vinny Tomasula same I love it
The problem that im having is that the grip make my hands sweat sooo much, is super annoying
i have heard alot of complaints about that as well
you have some greasy skin lol.
*BRUH IT IS MADE FOR NOT SWEATING DUMP DUMP* 🙄
Had the same thing first couple days. Cleaned it and never had issues again.
But I returned my controller after a week for to dead zone. The thumb sticks had play in the centre. Was so difficult to aim.
I was worried about buying one because of the price. However, I haven't had any issues with mine, luckily. It's been a great controller and I am loving it. I don't have to buy batteries anymore, all the buttons work good, I can't complain. I find it funny how you can't see the likes and dislikes on a video like this lol. You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm enjoying it. Just take care of it and if it gives you issues, return it, simple as that. I bought a one year warranty on mine when I bought it at gamestop. I'm not too concerned. I'll give the controller an 8 1/2 out of 10. Only downside to it so far, it can be a pain to keep clean.
if you had rechargeable batteries lie many do you dont have to buy batteries either. i have had my rechargeable batteries for my controller for over 2 years.
why do you find it funny you cant see it. too many people in this day and age are followers and not leaders and care about numbers too much. who care what the likes are dislikes are at. and if your wondering the video has more likes then dislikes fyi.
how can you take care of it when the point of the video was many were complaining that it came broken out the box or broke a few days later. has nothing to do with taking care of anything.
realize im reporting what others are saying not me like i said in the video and if you read the comment you can see how many people have said they have had issues with it already, it is a big percentage.
@@TheRealAssistMan I get what you're saying and all, but it looks like way more love than it hate. I found it funny because if you don't care what the numbers are, why hide it, just saying? Every thing you buy has a chance to have issues or come broken, doesn't make the controller bad or it shouldn't mean you tell people not to buy something lol. I haven't had any issues with mine, yet. But that's why I also forked out the extra money for a warranty. Taking care of it also applies to the longevity of its use.
This really needs more attention! I bought a Elite Series 1 last Year and had drifting stick issues out of the box and was thinking of buying an Elite v2. Thanks to you, I'm NOT wasting my money on that controller.
Do you know that this guy doesn’t even how to spell the name, don’t take his advice
@@maxmcloughlin6861 Check your spelling first. If he wasn't I had wasted my money on that controller, no matter if he spells anything right or wrong.
It’s a figure of speech, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about
I’ve had my original Xbox one controllers for 2 years and they’re better now than when I first opened them out of the box. But when I bought my first elite controller it didn’t last 7 months before it was drifting terribly and the A and B buttons both kept getting stuck and I would have to press them really hard a few times to get them to pop back out.
Hey i don't have the elite controller but i have the regular controllers and i haven't had any problems with them what's so ever.
Cause im not very rough with them that's why.
you are very lucky or dont use it enough
@@bluedogviking that is your opinion. i go thru a xbox one controller every 6 months or less. i do own them as i made countless videos on them. if you dont agree thats fine. but dont sit here and tell the 1000s of people that have had issues with their controllers they are wrong. thats not the case. the end.
I own a first gen elite controller. i live in canada which means i payed 200$ for it. i have to replace the bumpers 8 times at 20$ a pop with shipping before i gave up on it. I then bought a Razer Wolverine Ultimate and never looked back. It has been the best controller and ive had it over a year without any issues. Id never buy this elite controller because i cant trust an MS controller anymore.
I had fucking *THREE* of the Series 2.
They all had defects out of the box.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great controller, but the issues don't make it worth it for $190....at the moment.
i know but lots of people just think we are all crazy cause they have had theirs for a few weeks with no problems not realizing that many people have these issues.
I have had my xbox one s controller for 2 years and there is no problems
I have both series 1+2 and never not had any of these issues that I see people come up with. And I game for hours at a time. Not gonna say their aren’t rare issues. But that’s all they are. Rare issues. If you love gaming and getting heavy into it. These controllers are were it’s at.
It's not rare...i had THREE different Elite series 1's in three weeks...and the bumpers on every single one of them broke...a problem I have never had with the base model controller (those just all get stick drift after a few months)
when so many people have had problems with the elite 1s and now 2s it is far from rare
I had the elite v2 and it was by far the worst Xbox one controller made by Microsoft. It took everything good about the v1 and threw it in the trash. They basically made a controller that was harder to hold onto the stock controller and charge more then the v1 elite that was a great controller.
8:12 that's how much the controller cost in Canada alone
Good video Dude ,, i changed 4 already expecting get a good one maybe after 5 to 10 exchange,, 😂😂
man thats nuts!
I bought a Xbox elite controller the first one. Nothing but problems. Had most of these issues about 2 months after buying it. I will not be buying the new 2nd one either. They need to get it together.
yup its terrible for a product that costs this much to have these issues so soon.
I think my current controller is the only one I've ever had that started to have issues recently. I'll probably wait to see how Microsoft handles the Series 2 after the complaints.
Don't buy any controller mine stopped working 1 month in for no reason
RB issues connectivity issues here after 6 months and just past the warranty Microsoft refuses to help they told me find a small repair shop to attempt a fix. they also told me they don’t open controllers when they warranty they send new ones because opening them can cause more issues. Good job Microsoft you’ve done it again and lost a ton of your loyal customers
We need this guy back!
Bro thank you! You just saved me 120. I was on the fence because I had a elite 1 but bought it twice because it broke after the first 6 months. I have literaly been waiting for months since the series 2 came out because I wanted to see if it had issues. Today is the day I have to buy a new controller because I'm starting lose matches simply because my inputs arnt registering properly. This is the fifth video I've watched and you've convinced me that it's just not worth paying 180 for a controller when I can get one for 50 at walmart that will suit my purposes and hell might last a little longer! Thanks again bro your getting a like and subscribe from me because you actually deserve it!
4 elite v1s- 3 had bumper issues, 1 had charging problem
2 Elite v2s- Both out of the box faulty. First one lb was unresponsive 1 out of 10 times and second one A button was unresponsive 1 out of 10 times
This is the truth i return mine for these same reason he aint just talking im a die hard gamer & all i play with is elite controller that controller need lot more work 🎯💯
Just trying to help warn others so they dont get in the same situation as a lot of other people right now.
@@TheRealAssistMan thank you for speaking on it the situation is crazy its hard to get in touch with somebody from Microsoft now i love the feel of it and was pissed off right after that it started drifting in 4 days i never had the button problem i send it back to Amazon my friend got his from game stop and try to take it back they told him no refund you earn a subscriber from telling the truth thanks homie
Hey man I appreciate the review! Lol I'm glad I'm still using the normal controller and saving loads of $$
And if you're unsure on purchasing the game, I would suggest buying Modern Warfare. It's definitely restored my faith in Infinity Ward and it feels bigger and more realistic than the previous CoDs but trust me it doesn't feel like a Battlefield Ripoff like Ghosts. The only big issue I have with it is how much memory it consumes, but aside from that I'm really pleased. Solid servers, good hit detection, crisp graphics, the guns are balanced (and there's a shit ton of attachments) and a lot of game types to choose. Also- NO SUPPLY DROPS OR SPECIALISTS. Trust me it's the best CoD we've had in years.
i might pick it up when it goes to $30 not paying full price for it
Yea I gotcha money is tight for me right now too
The thumbstricks of mine are quite loose (lot 1939) , even looser than my PS4 dualshock 4 controller
you can adjust the analog stick tension...
@@sparrowCE No use
I didn’t get a warranty but if my a x y or b breaks then can’t I just use the paddles?
yes but if it breaks already and they dont give you a new one i would sue because of consumer rights
The paddles are literally there just to replace the broken buttons as a easy fix. My bumpers are going bad and I’m using the paddles as rb and lb
I just got one a week ago and I haven't had any problems with it so far. Maybe you are pushing it too hard? I have 3 more standard controllers for 2-3 years, just one stick is drifting, others are fine after many hours of playing. So far I must say I´m very happy with the Elite v2.
guess you didnt watch the video and failed to realize that its about the massive amounts of people getting them broken out the box. smh
i am on my 4th Xbox Elite 2 controller. the 1st one was purchased off of amazon. right out the box the joysticks would drift. Screwed.
Controller #2 was purchased from Walmart with protection plan. RB button would constantly not register unless i pressed it down unreasonably hard. Returned.
Controller #3 had the exact same issue but on the Y button. Returned.
Controller #4 HAS BOTH ISSUES THAT CONTROLLER 2 & 3 HAD!!!
W. T. F.
this is so frustrating.
Denny Crowe why would you attempt it 4 times? Lmfao I would’ve gave up after the first time. Xbox likes to sell shitty products. People don’t realize that. It’s way too much money to even have to worry about those issues. I wanted to buy a different controller one time and I spent about $90. It looked good and felt good. Day 1, buttons were sticking. I said NOPEE! Be smarter with your purchases. If you see something is faulty don’t buy it. Make them earn your money.
As much as I appreciate looking out for the consumer and reporting negative user experiences to inform potential buyers of what they might be facing if they do decide to take the plunge, I do find it somewhat disappointing that you don't really point your audience towards any alternatives. I myself have been doing research on "premium" controllers, and the only brands that offer functionality with Microsoft's premium offerings are Scuf and Razer. However, a consumer who's interested in getting a more expensive controller and watches your video is left somewhat uninformed of where to head next. Without an alternative offering, the video kind of comes across as doom-beckoning, leaving the message of, "if you want a more premium option for your controller, well, tough." I'm not saying that was your intention, but with the desperate tone of the video title and thumbnail, that is what is being communicated. I dunno, new guy to the channel here, just stating what I see.
Thats the point kid. There is no alternative to buying a $180 "elite" controller directly from the xbox branded company. It should work. It should not have any of these constantly consistent issues for years.
Had a stock Xbox one gen two Xbox one controller for years, still have it and it’s only just recently making minor problems
Sorry but I've come this controller for Christmas and yes the drift is an issue so turn the dead zone up ? It's not a hard issue to solve
Went thru 6 elite 1s, 3 grip issues, 2 bumper issues and 1 drift issue. Wonder if scuf are better...
prob not.
Had the Elite 1 with no problems at all got the elite 2 it’s even better a lot more control
I sure like mine. Personally, I like the materials from the V1 better, but overall the V2 is a great upgrade. It does suck for the people who have had issues. I wish it was closer to 100% good though...
I just gotta say that i got the v2 elite and that fkn thing got deadzone issues on both sticks, the paddles are loose af and bumper etc buttons doesmt feel like 180 bucks
And im sad to say this but i just bought an used ps4 pro with an used controller and this fkn cheap ass dualshock 4 is way better than that 180 dollar controller from microsoft? Why? On top of that i bought an fresh xbox one controller for 45 bucks and that thing got stickdrift on modern warfare when i put the aim response to dynamic, why??? Microsoft?? Helloo? Why ??
Ive just sent my black elite controller away through warrenty and theres a little page u have to fill in and where it said colour: i put white. Do u think they will replace my black elite with the white version or just give me a new black one? Im on my 4th black one now so hoping i get white lol
Yeah bud, had mine for 100 days then the left stick started drifting bad. Guess what? Warranty is 90 days. Xbox won’t let me pay them to fix it. Won’t take it back. So now I have a broke controller that I can’t play with unless I fix it myself. I’ve been thinking about it. Haven’t decided if I’m going to go through with it or not. Just cut my losses. Had the same issue with my elite series 1, but after 3 years. I’m okay with that but 100 days of light use and microsoft won’t stand behind their product. Bad customer service.
I had stick drift on my series 1 controller. But now I have to use one of the paddles to use the left joystick and the right joystick or else I'll get stick drift If I press on both of them. But I have noticed that since I dont use my series 1 a lot the stick drift doesn't happen as often.
good luck using the play and charge cable with the x1 controller it falls out and constantly disconnects so easily that's been the #1 problem for me. I fucking hate the x1 controllers. but I absolutely love the OG 360 controllers they are the best !
I’ve got original elite controller and series 2 with 3 normal Xbox controllers play 3 hours a day and only problem I had with a controller was the rubber on elite controller other than that been all perfect
And as the series 2 will work with the new Xbox in 2020 it was a good investment if it breaks between now and then I’ll send it off and get a replacement
The controller is cheap compared to scuf controllers which is harder to get replaced than the elite controller because it’s custom
My controller had a missing button!!!
Thats a bruh moment
Get real
Went through two controllers from best buy and both had an issue with the right trigger squeaking. Third one finally seems alright, definitely some stick drift but over all I like it better than the first series.
good to hear. hope it works out for you. i would have lost faith in the product already.
When the new xbox comes out I'd like to see you cover those controllers to see if its improved anything
I bought it and it’s cool, no problem so far, battery is great. USB connection is much better then other models.
so what in your opinion is the reliable alternative? with back buttons, preferably
honestly nothing
Battle Beaver controllers are cheaper and worth it
@@epic9256 I have/had a Battle Beaver and it was the beast controller I've played with up until three months after I purchased it. The left trigger and back button stop working. Cinch was the most reliable controller I've had, Scuf is second. But at this point all of them seem like a roll of the dice.
So xbox elite series 3 controller?
my series 1 is still going strong, my series 2 still has no issues.
If u dont like the xbox elite, then i wonder what ud think about the ps4 controller
Can you please do a video with a good alternative? I want paddles but the internet is full of negative reviews and don't know which one to get!
Scott Hoffman the elite one is great. Had mine for years no problem. Had 3 elite 2 already going back to e1. Just get it from GameStop so u can get a one year warranty just in case.
Just got mine today, 1/11/2021. Didn't even use it, broken out of the box. Left joystick is "loose" doesn't recenter. And gets pressed super deep into the controller when trying to press down. This is highly unacceptable for a $180 controller. I'll be returning mine, and not getting another one. This controller is joke.
Hopefully the series x doesn't have the same controller issues.
For a guy who claims years of Xbox experience, you sure have bad luck. Never had these issues
the Xbox controllers are the best on the market, wtf are you talking about. You must not take care of your equipment
Quit strong arming the triggers and buttons. Don't spill stuff on controller and you won't have these problems.
Man to late buy hola limited edition elite 2 series 😂
Never had a problem with the elite for a 1.5 years and after that time the only issue has the rubber grip comic off and the green back paddle buttons having the small dimples from the use.
And just called to get my elite replaced and they actually sent me the elite 2
You're out your damn mind to spend over $100 for a freaking controller
Lmao fr
I have 2 Xbox One's and 3 controllers with no issues out of any of them and i've had them for 4 years
My elite 1 has lasted over 3 years now. Just now starting to have issues with my left trigger.
