The Core I reviewed not more than a week ago was my first experience with out of the box stick drift, and to my shock the controller sent to me to replace it is even worse! Not only does the second unit have "drift" but the left thumbstick feels like its full of sand and stays jammed in the upward position.

Both Elite 1s had bumper, stick and paddle issues (along with the grips totally falling off the first Elite 1), the Elite 2 had bumper, stick and paddle issues as well, and the Scuf Instinct Pro has stayed together so far but one of the back buttons is kinda loose (in fairness its the one that I press the most). Basically, chances are whichever you choose will have issues at some point. If you end up with one that doesn’t have any problems then consider yourself lucky.

@larrymullins2420 Год назад

I just received my core controller from amazon today. Opened the box and gave it a feel. Left thumb stick was same as yours except mine was stuck to the bottom right, about 135 degree location. I tried to work it free by moving it, but after moving it around for 5 min and clicking the LS while doing so it still had a lot of resistance. I pressed on the left and right sides of the controller, pretty much where hands normally go to, open the shell slightly and eventually it started moving free. I was hyped it finally felt good, so I went to work. On the way home I was just thinking of getting on and gaming with this new controller. I open a game and started pressing all my buttons to check everything...........the Y button works like 65% of the time. Used gamepad tester and, sure enough, Y was flaky at best. Return to Center was also a little high on the thumbsticks for a brand new controller. I wish they would just go back to selling first series Elite controllers again. I could replace the bumpers in 5 min and be on the move again. Unfortunately the main board has some sort of feedback loop on it causing a hum every time audio comes thru. The thing has no grips and looks like it was thru hell but it still performed. Bought a series 2 and after a few months my left stick started bugging out. When i press down and then up i would move in slow motion for 3-5 seconds until it registered max input, and costed me my life many times in Verdansk. I had the warranty so i went and exchanged it when stock became available. Played for a few minutes and then the left stick bug happened again. I knew I picked up the last series 2 they had so I just decided to troubleshoot it using reddit and youtube. If the thumbstick was removed the left thumbstick sticking didnt happen. So i removed the inner ring of shiny plastic from controller face that rims the base of thumbstick and sanded down the grooves essentially just making the hole bigger and had no more issues. Then the usb c broke 2 days ago and I botched the soldering with the tiny pins. That leads me to present day where i am sitting here with this piece of garbage. I think at this point my best bet is to just get a new board for the series 1. I thought this would have been a good option since I have a stack of "Accessories" already. I am here to tell you I was wrong. I would stay away from this initial production of this controller. I do like the new look but im going back to the all black.

@OG_pRotality Год назад

I’m not surprised at all. I’m on my 7th/8th Series 2 right now. I’ve been trying to replace the same controller through MS warranty program (3rd one in mail back to me) and they keep sending me different refurbished controllers with THE SAME ISSUE.

I was on my 8th replacement on original series 2. I had the EXACT same problem with the last controller they sent me. The stick was really hard to use. Tried cleaning it and cycling it to make it smooth again. Only made it worse. To the point where it would stick the corner like yours. MS is refunding me $179 now. Apparently if you’ve had 3 replacements in 90 days they are supposed to refund you. Sent it back waiting for refund. On the plus side I finally figured out how to fix all face button issues myself.

@PhantasmXYZ Год назад

Damn, I gave up on the third controller (second replacement) and just ate the loss. QC on these is abysmal

@SamuraiMerrick Год назад

@@PhantasmXYZ part of the problem is the face buttons all have problems. I can make any A or Y button on any Series 2 fail 90% of the clicks by pressing it a certain way. Can’t do that with a PS5 or Switch controller. I know exactly how to fix those buttons due to the reason they fail. But most of my controllers were returned before I figured that out. But like 4 had bumper or joystick issues. Terrible for a premium product. Sucks because the dual sense controller kills my hands. Literally is painful to use. Smh

@rickd6914 Год назад

If the Elite 3 doesn't have Hall sensors then it's a straight up L. Not a fan of the replaceable modules. It's basically admitting the sticks are faulty, but rest assured we'll let you buy new sticks, instead of just offering a far superior module in the first place.

Not a core, or even any model of elite, but my base series controller got ridiculously bad drift and jitter within like two months of unboxing and using it. Only ever had something like that happen one other time with the Day One controller on Xbox One, but it's still weird to see them come out of the box and be essentially malfunctioning like that.

@LonghornsLegend Год назад

This is why I tell people all things considered the elite is still better value. You can get a 3 yr warranty for $20, and have them keep fixing it all for a total of $170. Vs paying $60 for a worse controller that when it goes bad, you need to spend another $60 before a year is up. Sucks but I've been through this and an elite series with a warranty is the best bet

I'm tired of buying, sending in for warranty repair, and repeated failure of the joysticks. I have six elite 2 controllers, including the Halo Elite 2. All have joysticks that lock up, even after warranty repair. Within a few weeks, every controller would be unusable again. I even sent in my Halo Elite 2 for warranty repair with a note stating that if they could not fix it, just send it back and not replace it with a non Halo version. They kinda repaired the joysticks, but they started locking up in a matter of days. Now that controller is just a display piece. I'm so tired of this!!

@N.i.E.M.O Год назад

From what I'm understanding, ALL Xbox Elite Series 2 (and Series 1, as far as I know) controllers are defective. All of them. I just got two for Christmas (one is the white 'core' model, while the other is the original black model). Right out of the box I noticed a frustrating issue in which the 'L3' button does not click when the stick is in certain positions. The same applies for the 'R3' button. This essentially makes certain games a completely gimped experience, if not absolutely unplayable. I also tried adjusting the sensitivity of my left stick with the little tuning tool and I discovered that on my black Elite model, it doesn't matter how much I adjust the little screw - it won't change anything - the sensitivity is always stuck on being as stiff as possible. So that's yet another issue, right out of the box. The right stick however, *does* allow me to adjust the sensitivity. As does both sticks on my white controller. At least *so far* they do. As for other major recurring issues that many people have been having in regards to stick drift, sticky buttons, broken triggers, etc., I haven't (yet) had any issues that I've recognized at least. But I know it is only an inevitability that these issues will eventually (and quickly) come to affect me too (on top of the other issues I'm already dealing with). It really sucks to know that two people spent over $130 - $180 each on me and both items are completely defective. I am so incredibly upset that, to be quite honest, it is borderline rage. I only recently decided to get back into "gaming", after being out of the loop since the end of the PS360 era. I've owned a Switch for several years now and recently found and bought myself a PS5 and a Series X. I've always detested the Xbox's garbage excuse for a 'D-Pad' throughout the years and mainly wanted to be able to just have a regular old cross-pad. The Xbox Elite controllers *seemed* to be the best way to get exactly that (along with a bunch of other customizable benefits). I could have bought it myself, but my friends/family wanted desperately to buy me something for Christmas, so I held off, assuming they would buy it for me, which they did. I got two of them. And BOTH of them are defective. So I hop online to see what my issue is and lo and behold, EVERYONE is having the same problems I'm having (and then some). And these controllers have been on the market for like, four years now at least? And Micro$oft hasn't bothered to address these issues? This is like "Red Ring of Death" all over again. But at least Microsoft sorta addressed the RRoD by releasing newer versions of the console that didn't overheat. But when it comes to these so-called "Elite" controllers, they made them defective from the start, and then made two new revisions that have all the same issues AND EVEN MORE. Will the "Series 3" Elite controllers be even worse than these? Would be hard to top, but I wouldn't put it past them. Will also likely cost $230. It's pathetic. It sucks when Nintendo does it too, with their garbage control sticks drifting all the time. But Microsoft's "Elite" controller's are somehow even worse. These controllers cost nearly as much as a freaking console. And ALL of them are defective? And they've had YEARS to address this, but they don't? I do realize that they extended the warranty to 1 Year instead of 3 months. That's great and all, but the fact is, I can send in my controllers to be fixed, and they'll probably send me another 'refurbished' controllers - which will have the exact same problems, and probably more. So what's the point? Essentially, I have two paperweights that cost about $250 altogether. This is ridiculous. Sick and tired of this bullshit

@PhantasmXYZ Год назад

1:09 that is exactly what my left stick is like on my current Elite 2... It is the second replacement Microsoft sent me under warranty, after all three I've owned having either faulty RB/LB/B buttons, stick drift, and then that same left stick that gets stuck. I just gave up on ever getting a working one again. I have come to terms I'm out $180-ish and all the time troubleshooting in vain, packaging and shipping controllers, only to get something as broken or worse back each time. If a class action lawsuit comes about again, I may check into that however.

I just got my core controller. No major issues I’ve found so far but what I noticed was when I play COD and try to sprint with the left analog stick, I would have a hard time pushing it down when it’s not pointed straight up. To me, it looks like it may just be because the analog stick it has on by default is too short that it touches the outer ring of the analog? Maybe switching it out for slightly higher one may fix that problem for me. We will see! Overall, it’s a good controller. I like it.

Yeah, if the series 3 doesn’t have hall effect sensors, it’s a no go for me.

@johnnyjaee1417 Год назад

elite controllers seem to have a huge issue with quality control. when I bought my series 2, right of the bat I was having issues with my left stick not clicking forward,a sticky and often unresponsive A button and the left bumper was often unresponsive as well. I saw nearly identical issues when I looked through the reviews on best buy. if anyone is considering getting an elite controller, I would recommend you stick to a base xbox controller until Microsoft addresses and fixes the issues.

@MGrey-qb5xz Год назад

what base xbox controller?

@LadyFrondescence 7 месяцев назад

do you have issues with your right stick being wobbly/loose? I've had my core controller replaced and the second one did the exact same thing. It doesn't have to do with the tension adjustments. the software doesn't even register any of the movements withing that "wiggle room"

@lapiaz2226 Год назад

Ok i bought an elite series 2 about a year and half ago i return that one same day as bumpers were sticking from new. Bought a second and after a week stick drift started . I used warranty and replaced it. The new one after two weeks stick drift again. Replaced it again under warranty after 3 months. Microsoft replaced 3 of my elites controlers the fourth one is still working ok i have 3 spare cases with all the extras. I do belive the new core been sold is just thise hundred of controlers that were returned.

@ReactFaster Год назад

Thought I'd share my experience doing something similar to what you mentioned in this video. I went through (9, 10?) Elite series two that were faulty in some manner straight out of the box. I returned them all next day to best buy until I eventually got one that functioned properly. But it really goes to show how there is no QC at all for these. It's a shame because the elite is a very comfortable, functional, and visually appealing controller that is being dragged down by this complete lack of QC.

@LonghornsLegend Год назад

And this is why I changed to a geek squad warranty from Microsofts. Best buy gives you a new, in box sealed controller, while Microsoft sends in a refurbished one in sketchy condition and usually a worse, more worn controller.

@HallsofAmenti999 Год назад

I'm on my second one, out of the box stick drift in 2023. They still selling flawed controllers!

@megnuggets83 Год назад

When I first got it, it already had stick drift, but I knew my settings in Fortnite and COD made my old controller drift, but I kept changing my settings and soon figured out it was the controller. So, I’m guessing I had out of the box stick drift and I didn’t mess with the settings in the accessories app or anything before I used it. I still don’t quite get the settings anyway. I really want to figure out how to get rid of the stick drift. My sister was amazing and bought it for my birthday/Christmas since my bday is near Christmas, so this was one big gift for both and she spent a big amount of her paycheck to get this for me. I want to love it, but I haven’t used it for several months now. I want to fix it, please 🙏🏽😩😂 Side note: my old controller does not have drift when the settings in my games are changed

so u had more then 5 bad elite S2 controllers and u still used them? then u bought a white S2 controller??? either ur "luck" is dog shit our ur lying lmao... theres no way anybody with a brain is gonna continue to use the same controller/product and its bad multiple times and u buy the different color version of the same product CTFU what?

@Koo_pootra Год назад

My elite series 2 had left stick drift issue after just 3 months of purchase. As if that wasn't enough, the rubber grip began to come off after 6 months & RB began to get stuck. I used the lcd screen cleaner to get some relief but it wasn't enough. Now at present, nearly a year after the purchase, its entire left controls have jammed with the RT getting stuck when using trigger stops. I got so frustrated & annoyed that I just threw it in a dustbin.

@SergeySedlovsky Год назад

Received mine yesterday and played for a few runs in Outriders, was working fine. It's a replacement to my unfortunately already non working Elite 2, so I have the extra accessories anyway :) Though, sticks felt a bit stiff. Also for a moment there I setup my stick buttons to the paddles at first for some reason it didn't work, probably didn't set them up correctly, set them up right the next time. Hope it lasts. Say, do you know any good idea to cover the gamepad so the grips don't get out cause that's a big problem, and I think I know the reason it happens (Unfortunately where I live it's above 30c for more than half a year + heat from PC)

@KillUrEnemiesx23x Год назад

@hobbilinkin Год назад

hey man. late join to the party about your Elite series 2 QC Problem, but i guess as you mentioned an issue on the video about left analog stick being stuck. i guess it's the nature of the analog drats mechanism like you showed to us on previous teardown video, you must rotate from drats on analog stick cover to get off the analog stick caps. that issue my occured bcz during shipping process as an result make that caps of the analog stick comes loose. my best solution is trying to thightening up that analog caps by rotating to clocckwise or the right, instead of you sending back to claiming that issue and get the replacement that can cause you a much time and more hassle

@CLEEN50 Год назад

Im convinced that my og xbsx controller is better than my black elite series 2 controller. Im so frustrated with the minor stick drift i have. My MW2 deadzone settings for my right stick had to be adjusted to .15. the default setting is .10 for reference

@TheTorqueAholic Год назад

I just seen this on someone else’s out of box review. What I said was, if you open the shipping box and there’s a huge gap without box stuffing, there’s a good chance, the controller is already broken. I’ve worked for FedEx Ground: so much happens bc it’s a system of underpaid and overworked employees

@steview0ndaxsx808 Год назад

I got mine on release day and fortunately it's fine but microsoft are having trouble adding microsoft complete to my controller and so I'm hoping they get to the bottom of it b4 the 45 day period 🤞🏻 I do also have a black elite 2 which lasted about 2 years b4 the left bumper went so was out of warranty ( This was b4 I knew microsoft complete existed for controllers 😫) I also have the halo elite controller (with microsoft complete) and I have used it most days from release and I must say that this also has started to wear on the left bumper so I will be actioning a warranty repair. I do think that the outer build quality is feels very premium but if my current core fails me then I think I'd swerve any future microsoft "premium" controllers and give the other competitors a crack at the whip. I'm pretty new to the channel but I think your videos are full of quality and very thoroughly executed so well done 👍🏻

@mysticalhero7094 Год назад

Hey just thought I would throw this in but for some stupid reason and this is for all the elite series 2 controllers the thumbsticks are not hollow but instead have flat metal plate on the underside of the thumbstick that restricts movement because it pushes/scrapes up against the analog stick sensor, I think it is a pretty stupid design and they need to fix it asap, Although I doubt they will.

@stfn112 Год назад

I've had the Elite v1 just like you did and it was my favorite controller, got me to buy a v2 on day 1. And the v2 has been nothing but disappointment. I've exchanged 10-12 total, with most being shortly after launch, thinking there would be one out there that did not have issues. And it appears there just is no v2 that does not have the issue where non-centered face button presses do not have incredibly poor button registration rate. As someone that plays games where you sometimes hit buttons not entirely centered, or 2 face buttons at once, I just found this unbelievably poor design. I've taken controllers of multiple generations and platforms through the same input test (even the 360 controller), and none of them ever had issues with this. Even the v1 handled it just fine. I honestly hate how they brought out the v2 and it still has not fixed this problem. And then they come out claiming it has improved QC, it clearly did not. And all of this does not even get into the many other issues these controllers have yet. Such as sticky face buttons, drifting, poor triggers, and who knows what other issues I don't even know about. For the price they sell these at, this is absolutely unacceptable to me. If they don't fix all of this shit for a v3 then I hope they just don't bother releasing one.

And here I thought I was the only person buying 9+ of the Series 2 to find "The One". Went through 9 (buying my 10th right now) and 8/9 had the same problem. Double clicking RB. The 9th? Double clicking LB. My old (and dusty) Series 1 has NOT A SINGLE issue. I have no hopes for the v3 to be honest. Seeing the v2 going through multiple internal revisions, MS even acknowledging manufacturing issues at some point, and still no improvement. The problem is though: The Elite Series is (to my knowledge) the only (truly) fully configurable (ABXY to D-Pad, etc.) Gamepad on the market right now.
