How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
I do hope Xbox announces a series 3. But I gotta say the controller is pretty good. I’ve done a lot of research on different thumb-stick technologies… and they all have disadvantages. The question is not just what do want from your controller, but what can you live without. For example, Hall Effect

Railgun Appreciation Post
Oh, I feel that! I used the original Xbox Elite controller for years with no issues. When I upgraded to the Elite 2.0 though, it was a waste of money. Defective RB out of the box twice, and very noticeable stick drift out of the box as well. Ended up grabbing that Razer Wolverine on sale for $80 (no

Controller Players?
Xbox elite series 2. Ive heard some people online complain about stick drift on them, but personally haven’t experienced that yet. There’s some third party options too, worth looking into

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
I agree with you. I have a condition that gives me a lot of joint pain in my hands/wrists and the ergonomics of the gamesir G7 SE felt awful compared to a standard xbox controller or an elite controller. The grips/handles are way too short, my pinky almost feels like it’s falling off the controller.

Which is your favorite new gen controller?
I’m talking about games that don’t give you such a choice, for some it’s on/off. Most though, handle it pretty well. Ghost of Tsushima would scale the trigger effect strength to the bow you’re using, and when you’re not using one, it’s off. KCD II, unfortunately doesn’t scale the trigger effect with

Help with HE vs Kaleid vs Pro
Spot on. Kaleid is a looker if you Like RGB, especially for $40. I bought the SE first in white, then caved to the allure of a black version and clicky buttons so I bought the HE. Then the Pro was announced with trigger locks and TMR sticks so I preordered the black Pro. Wanting wireless on Xbox at

Controller, pro or after market controller or keyboard and mouse.
Ive tried highend KbM as well as the dual sense edge controller and the xbox elite series 2. I havent trued aftermarket but my suggestion is to go with the dualsense edge. I wouldnt recommend KbM on bo7 or bo6. The only recent cod that KbM was good on was mw3. Bo6 and 7 movement is just too much for

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?
Had both the Elite Series 1 & 2, will get the Elite Series 3. Every controller on the market, without exception, will develop problems with long term use. The Elite Controller is however worthy of the best reviews as a controller, because quite simply it has earned that praise in many ways over the

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’ve had mine for a year and a half. I actually adore it (I may be an odd case since I personally don’t care very much about stick drift since it doesn’t really affect me in game, unless I’m AFK). It isn’t flawless. Stick drift is about as bad as the regular Series X/S controllers, and the rubber gr
