![]() So guys I've got a second gen Xbone Elite Controller, so it's the white one, and I have had it for a year and some. Unfortunately due to a workplace injury that can't be fixed, I simply cannot hold the normal Xbox One controllers without it being incredibly painful in short order and leaves me in pain. Anyways the controller hit the floor all the extra bits popped off, but magnetic so back on. I think it landed on the left thumb stick though and it's been acting jumpy. So I'm wondering if it's worth fixing or if I should live with it until I can afford an Elite controller 2? I have the RF adapter for my PC, but how's the BT on the Elite 2? I know MS said no BT on the original Elites because of input lag. Does it feel better in the hands?

![]() No one has had the original Elite and the new Elite 2? My white bastard is white... But it's still a V1 at heart. Was hoping someone had some hands on experience with both.

![]() I've played with the v2, feels similar and the adjustable stick tension is almost a game changer. Unfortunately that built in battery is a deal killer. I had been using the same AA powered 360 controller for around 10 years before I switched to my elite, I don't think the battery in the v2 is gonna last another 10. |

![]() I'm hearing the latest has some of the same problems as the first. I have the first and yes it now has stick drift. Wont spend that kind of coin on a controller that breaks before the cheap ones. |

![]() Damn... I was so hoping that they'd have the stick drift sorted. I didn't realize they went to a built in battery, that's a buzzkill to me as well. Guess I'll buy the parts to fix mine sometime.

Only major issue from the first batch of controllers was a sticky A button. The build quality is noticably better. And a tear down has shown improvements across the board. Battery is rated at 40 hours. I've run one non scientific test and it was more than 40 hours gameplay before I plugged it in.

![]() The problems with a $180 controller is really unacceptable though, Thought I would look at the thread at redidit and looks like the problems continue. https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/com..._2_megathread/ |

MS is having some real toothing issues. I will order the bits for my Elite and look into if there's better or updated stick mechanisms available.

![]() I’m just saying after the first ones issues and a price hike this thing should have nothing wrong with it out of the box for 99 percent of the units. I bought the first one, won’t be buying the second. |

Bumpers improved, sticks improved, all internal contacts improved, grips improved. Time will tell but I bet this one holds up quite well.

![]() I have both a first gen and a second gen or a V2 Xbox Elite Controller. No complaints. I love this thing. Never use the first gen one anymore. No stick drift either.

You can feel the improvements with the v2. I'm confident it will hold up.

![]() Received and not a perfect experience. First problem it refuses to work with the old Bluetooth USB adapter I have. PS4 controllers work fine with it. So I ran out and spent more money and just went with the MS wireless USB adapter as it will work for any of my Xbox controllers. Ah well, that adapter should come with these elite controllers for the price that is charged. Last edited by Nascar24 : Feb 2, 2020 at 06:55 PM. |

![]() You will struggle going back to a normal one once you start playing with profiles and key mapping. It drastically changes how I play many games that I'm honestly shocked they didn't incorporate the back triggers on the next console.

![]() I haven't really touched any of the Xbox One controllers, but honestly very surprised that almost every controller I've touched that isn't brand new has very noticeable stick drift. I still prefer the layout of the Xbox controller, it reminded me of how I simply tolerate the PS4 layout. With that said, I just ordered a PS4 Pro new for $300 off Amazon. I didn't bring a console with me but it'll be nice to have on my day off. |
