    Not to mention bumpers that fail right after the warranty expires! Can’t wait!

    Worst $180 I ever spent. My Xbox Elite Series 2 controller’s bumper died a week after my warranty expired. I’d barely had time to use it that year, and didn’t abuse it in any way. I have controllers from 2002 that still work flawlessly after thousands of hours of service. Somehow Microsoft figured out how the make the least durable, most expensive controller ever. Never again, MS. Never again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me… you can’t get fooled again.

      Controllers have been getting steadily worse since Xbox 1. I never had a controller failure for the original & 360 and I played them a lot more than the 1.

      I actually had more console failures than controller now that I think about it, lol.

      Mine has been going since release day with zero problems. Multiple hours played a day. I feel they have poor quality control in whatever factory these come from (or maybe there is more than one and one of them sucks hard).
