    Now in white and coming at a more affordable price point, the new Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller is more of the same for reliability. So, what are the "re-engineered components?"

    I got sick and tired of returning my Elite 2 under warranty, only for Microsoft to give me a refurb with as many problems as the last unit or worse... I went from non-working LB only, to non-working LB/RB/B, etc. Until my current refurb had the entire left stick get dislocated too... can't even rely on paddles to work around such an issue.
    If they don't get a class action lawsuit for the existing Elite 2s, I hope they at least get one for deceptive marketing of "improved reliability" on the Elite Core

  • @schit4brainz
    @schit4brainz Před rokem +4

    On my second Series 2. The first I had for about 9 months and sent it in for stick drift on both sticks. It's been a year on the second controller and the left bumper only works when firmly pressing it. Every now and then I'll get a miss click on the paddles and face buttons but so far not a sign of stick drift. I guess it's a lottery if you can get both good working buttons and non-drifting sticks. Hopefully they'll make a Elite Series 3 soon and the best outcome is that they put hall-effect thumb sticks and fix the buttons. Sticks that don't wear out and buttons that work, sign me up because it would be perfect and it'll be the last controller I buy... and that is exactly why they won't do it.

  • @krantzstone4419
    @krantzstone4419 Před rokem +14

    I'd be willing to pick up the new version of the Elite Series 2 if it doesn't have all the issues that I've had with my current one (my second one), but by all accounts the CORE has the same issues with stick drift, face buttons, bumpers. Since my warranty ran out on my replacement despite Microsoft's extension, I decided to pry open my controller to fix the damnable right bumper's random lack of response, and a little cleaning of the inside bumper switch with some alcohol did the trick (via CZcams videos), at the cost of only some minor cosmetic marring where I pried open the faceplate, and one of the inner clasps that locks the faceplate onto the body broke off (my carelessness).
    But I shouldn't have had to return my first Elite Series 2 controller or do minor surgery on my second, for something that cost more than half the cost of my Series X. :P
    That white and black colour scheme does look amazing (provided the white part doesn't get dirty).
    I do actually much prefer the Elite Series 2 controller to the original Xbox One controller or even the one that comes with the Series X (I can't speak to the original Elite controller since I never got one) but I definitely recommend getting an extended warranty.

    It's so sad, because they are indeed close to perfection. I've had so many V2's now and had the luck that the store kept giving me a new one. Rubber grips letting loose, LB/RB buttons not responding unless you press it way too hard, and now my two months old V2 has sticky X button and pops out after a few seconds. Super annoying. It was a little promising when they said "we hear you." but then it turns out to be BS. Disappointing.

    i had mine for about a year and a half before the rubberized grips started peeling off. 6 months later it was so bad that a lot of the internal structure of the handles began to crack and break. the only way i could play with it is to wrap both handles in a lot of electrical tape, but the plastic on the inside is so flimsy that it began to crack and crumble, and i dont grip the controller hard or squeeze it. so the elite series 2 lasted about 2 years before it was way too broken to play with, although i never developed any stick drift so thats a plus. so I bought a turtle beach recon controller to replace it. no rubberized grip that would eventually peel off and im very happy with it

    My Elite 2 was solid for about two years. Best feeling controller I've ever used. My issues with the controller are: top left back paddle button broke, hair trigger nub broke off and most recently the left trigger vibration is stuck at full vibration and is no longer adjustable (which doesn't sound bad but trust me it makes the controller extremely undesirable to use). After much troubleshooting, the only option is to go zero vibration for the entire controller. With all that said, I do take very great care of all my electronics and it still broke down under casual use. If they release an Elite 3, I will buy it because the Elite 2 was so great to use even with the unfortunate short lifespan but a bump in durability is a must.

    When you warranty a controller, you don’t get a new one. You get a refurbished one. I got a series 2 early when they came out. Returned under warranty 3 times within the warranty period. First had A button not register consistently and left stick drift. Second had left bumper stop registering. Third had right bumper stop registering.
    After warranty they offer to sell you a controller replacement at reduced price (I think it was US 79). I did and that controller now has right bumper issues.
    I am just one example but my friend has had very similar experiences with his, going through 2-3 under warranty and then just buying a new one. The new one hasn’t had trouble so far (6 mo).

    @Emloch Před rokem +1

    I've purchased 3 Elite controllers. Initially, the Elite 1 which developed massive stick drift, an LB response problem and the grip peeled off. I then bought an Elite 2 for myself and an additional one for my son; thinking that perhaps they worked the issues out. Well, the grip is still intact on both controllers, no drift either, but they each developed a bumper response problems...and mine also developed a paddle response issue as well....also the "nibs" on the back switches (which adjusts the trigger levels) all fell off, leaving sharp points for switches. The bumper problem can be managed by mapping it to one of the paddles, though we shouldn't have to do this.
    They are great controllers, overall, but I could not endorse them based on their quality issues, as they seem almost disposable. At their price-point, they should far outlast a conventional controller, but they don't seem to

    I like the accessory pack because now you can get replacement parts and or just extra parts for the elite 2, I’m picking it up so I can have 2 tall sticks and also better customization with more paddle variation

    Ive bought 2 different elite controller this year and im pissed at how ass they are. Got the black one about 10 months ago all the buttons stopped working last week so i stepped out to gamestop and got the new elite series 2 core (since i had the paddles already) i shit you not 4 days after i bought it i had the same exact problem. A,B,X,Y do not work pairing button is hit or miss and the power light doesnt turn on when the controller is on. Anyone know another controller with good paddles?

    So to use this controller to its full potential you need to buy the accessory pack so what's the point of buying this controller might as well buy the black version that comes with everything you need right?

    I'm having audio issues. Cracking and cut out . I suspect it's the core II controller , but im not 100% sure yet , but it does have stick drift and sometimes it disconnects randomly. I have had it for about 6 months and I'm about to return it for a new one sence they gave it a year warranty.

  • @kmac7863
    @kmac7863 Před rokem

    My elite series 2 after 6 months got bad stick drift on the left joy stick. Then my right bumper wasnt responding every time I clicked it I had to really push done on it hard. It was super annoying and really affecting my gameplay. I just picked up the core since I already have the accessories and honestly i like it more. I like the rubber grips and after a month it’s been great and I bought the Walmart Protection Plan so if the stick drift comes back I can swap it out for a new one

  • @MenTal9R
    @MenTal9R Před rokem +17

    I find the paddles on the Series 2 to feel much better than on the original Elite. One thing I found though is that mushy feeling is somewhat due to the paddles themselves. Swapping Series 2 paddles over to the OG Elite definitely feels better. The X/Y paddles though still don't feel as good as they do with the Elite Series 2 though. Nonetheless I did pick up an S2 paddle set (be careful, a lot of the advertised S2 paddles are clearly S1 versions) for my OG controller and it does make it feel a lot better. They clean up a lot of that sloppiness which I think comes down to the larger nubs on the S2 paddles, it tightens up the sloppy feeling. Not to mention I like that they're shorter too, it's fixed my issue with accidentally reloading or changing weapons. Those X/Y paddles are too long on the OG Elite, so well worth the $10 IMHO...

    If you already have the accessories for the Elite Series 2 accessories can you use the swappable thumb sticks? My elite series 2 is on the fritz-keeps disconnecting, freezing, etc. so I’m wondering if I could just get the core and use all the other accessories I already have with it

  • @alistairwatson7263

    Ive had four elite series 2 controllers within a year thanks to warranty ( one brand new and three refurbished from MS) , there is always an issue with a button or stick. They are not reliable whatsover. Will it be the same with the core? Should i gamble my money again just to use my warranty all year round to replace them? Disappointing and money down the drain

    So the reason I bought the elite series core was because I had bought the elite series 2 and never had a single issue but unfortunately it suffered irreversible water damage. Obviously all of the back paddles and joy sticks are fine. I guess I'm confused about one thing though. Is he saying that the buttons on the core seemingly worse than just the regular elite series 2?

  • @grimreefer213

    I wanted to love this controller the series 2 but my bumper broke on my first one so I sent it back, they sent me a refurbished model and two months in another bumper is failing. It is so frustrating that this happens and I couldn’t even get a year out of a so called “elite” controller! Unbelievable

    Thx for the honest review. I'll stick with the regular wireless Xbox controller. I got it used for 18 bucks. The A button is a bit mushy cos I brought it used. It seem we're both in the same boat with the A button not registering 😢

  • @Rooster_B18C
    @Rooster_B18C Před rokem +1

    The left bumper on my Elite Series 2 wasn’t always registering. Luckily it happened 2 weeks before my warranty expired. They didn’t send me a new one, just fixed it. It does work like it should now, but it came back with little pry marks on top everywhere, dirty, and the crease wasn’t complete flush on the left side of the controller anymore. I sent them a pristine controller, just to receive a properly working beat up one. Whatever…😪

    I took it apart to see the inside as well and it’s the same the paddles and buttons and made the same when it comes to the inside. The paddles are a flaw design in my opinion, the angle and the way you press on the paddles will wear out where the paddle holder. On top of that if your paddles no longer work it will also be the small button that you press down with the paddle will wear and lose its shape. These parts are the exact same from the black series 2 no change on the paddles were ever made and the bumpers will stop working to

    Everyone keeps saying the core and regular are the same but the core doesnt come with extra options for the options, like the paddles you have to buy, you have to buy seperate dpads, and the carrying case isnt included so you need to soend $50 on the customization pack anyway to get the extra components that seperate them, you get all the same features but extra parts arent included with the core
