How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
Ive never had good luck with the Series 2, I get bumper issues without fail. Ive had like 6-8 different elite series 2 at this point that ive either replaced or gotten a warranty on and every single one the RB or LB starts having issues within a few months. I have a stock xbox one controller that i'

Valor Pro Wireless is a solid choice
Crazy we had almost the exact same weekend. Been looking for a replacement for my 3rd Elite Series 2 on Xbox Series X. Bought a Wolverine V3 Pro. Didn’t feel right and the 3mm audio jack didn’t work with my headset. Returned that and ordered Valor Pro Wireless. Supposed to be here Wednesday so this

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
It's about to be hot so be prepared to see the rubber come loose. Bumpers are more prone to deteriorate than series 1. I got the ones I bought for less than the elite series 1 but I bought mine broken for about 30 dollars each. I typically stuck to issues like rubber coming loose and bumper issues a

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
Honestly I've had about 1 Elite series 1 controller and about 3 Elite Series 2 controllers. They ALWAYS lose the grip or get stick drift. There was not one of them who didn't lose the grip between the first couple months. Even a regular controllers have lasted longer. I can't believe I wasted $1000

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
I think I bought 3. 1st one had an issue with bumpers. 2nd one had issues with the A button only working if you hit it dead-center. I tried to have Xbox fix it but they didn’t see any issues and warranty expired. 3rd one, it fell on the right analog stick (maybe 2-3 feet) and now needs to be replace

Leaked images reveal Xbox Elite 3 controller with mysterious new buttons
I originally thought that too, given they officially licensed a controller from 8BitDo that has a feature like that (here, if interested). Honestly, I may give the 8BitDo one a shot. It also has rubber grips, but it looks like the face plate is removable AND replaceable if peeling starts. I spent wa

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
This is hands down the best and worst controller I have ever used. The four paddles are the best thing about. The customization and tweaking within the Xbox app is great. The biggest problem and it’s a doozy, they break way too easy. I’ve had 2 and all the bumpers go bad, the rubber grips peal off a

How good is the Scuf omega ps5 controller for Fortnite and Apex legends
Ok. I like my scuf controller. I’ve had the envision for I believe 2-3 years now with no issues. I don’t know how you guys are constantly finding issues. Only controller I’ve had issues with was the elite series 2 Xbox controller but that was also after 3 years of using it. Only thing slightly wrong

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
I’ve been playing on Xbox for over 20 years, and I’d never had problems with controller quality until the series x ones this gen. I’ve been through 3 series 2 elites, and just gave up entirely on them. Arriving with buttons not working, eventual stick drift, and buttons getting stuck, it’s a coin fl

Leaked images reveal Xbox Elite 3 controller with mysterious new buttons
Mine has fallen completely apart. I’ve had to get 3rd party silicon covers for the joysticks and the rubber on the sides has come loose. This is a replacement elite series 2 for my original one that had a left trigger stop working intermittently just within warranty. I like the controller, but quali
