The Steam Controller can play songs through its haptic feedback.

Steam Controller is 2 times cheaper than ps5 DualSense Edge (200$) and Xbox Elite Series 2 (200$) and out of those three Steam Controller offers the most. So think again about what those 100$ offer

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

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?

The only issue that I’ve experienced with my Elite Series 2 controller is that the right bumper is fairly non-responsive unless I use a fair amount of pressure to press it. It can be rather irritating at times, especially considering the price and that this is marketed as XBOX’s “pro” controller.

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?

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

What controller would you recommend for playing Forza Horizon 6?

This is an Xbox Fanboy comment I see. I have most of these controllers and none have been worse or broke like the Elite Series 2 Xbox controller which is Elite at breaking. They're so Elite at breaking , the store I usually go to admitted and recommended that they are not worth buying.
