I haven't actually tested BT on my desktop yet, maybe I'll have better luck there... apparently some folks that have had issues with BT on Windows are able to use it fine on their phones.
Did the A button issue happen right out of the box for you guys?
Played through several games with mine over the past month, no complaints yet
Also FYI if anyone doesn't know, there's a windows 10 issue with BT that afaik has not been fixed. It causes frame rate dips and hitching. The official Xbox wireless adapter eliminated the issue for me.
I made a post with issues I personally had. First thing you should do is test for sticky buttons, for harsh clicking sounds on the triggers when using the shortest stop.What are some of the known things to look out for? I have two of them and so far my second one may have a slightly different feel with the rb than the lb or I'm looking for something that isn't there.
The elite controller is FINALLY in stock on the Microsoft Store. I snagged it and the warranty and with my credit, I only had to pay like $15.
However, it won't be delivered until Feb. 11! A month away! I wonder why they are so depleted in stock when Best Buy and Gamestop have plenty?
I don't see why it wouldn't.Better hope your return period/warranty start when it's delivered.
This happens on all three controllers I've tried. It happens on A, X, and B on my latest!Still having issues with my controller now. Has anyone experienced a much less responsive A compared to the other 3 face buttons? I would miss inputs on a lighter hit on that button. This never happens on the other 3, as hard as I try.
Okay thanks for your reply. Did you return it to the store? I've been sending them to Microsoft for repairs, I keep getting the same one back. They improve it a bit every time but it seems it keeps coming back with issues. I dont think I am going to accept it in this state.This happens on all three controllers I've tried.

Considering how widespread the issue seems to be, I didn't want to start the repair game. Feels like a design flaw.Okay thanks for your reply. Did you return it to the store?

That really was the only right call to make. I cant refund this one anymore, my only option are these shitty ass repairs.Considering how widespread the issue seems to be, I didn't want to start the repair game. Feels like a design flaw.
I'm just going to return for another refund. I won't be trying again until I hear that the buttons work properly.
May I ask what website you used for the controller?Got it back for the fifth time now. I included a message last time how I wasn't pleased with the repairs, questioning if they even test them before shipping them back. I think they used a faster shipping method now cause it was packaged different in an envelope that said UPS Express on it.
This time I cant find issues with it within 3 minutes of testing. The A button doesnt get stuck, I ran it through a input testing website and it doesnt randomly lose its input there either. So far the first impressions are good and I hope it holds up.
I just used gamepadviewer.com, it worked well enough for the buttons atleast. Good luck I hope yours works properly!May I ask what website you used for the controller?
I know the Elite 2 has Bluetooth issues but my PC also giving me BT driver problems so I updated them. I want to go through everything before I decide to send the Elite back for repairs.
Well that's interesting about them sending back new controllers.Thank you for the link.I just used gamepadviewer.com, it worked well enough for the buttons atleast. Good luck I hope yours works properly!
Edit:
Had a chat with Microsoft today they told me they don't do repairs on these controllers and that they are actually exchanged for entirely new units. This means that I have now had 6 of these in hand, all of which had issues. I don't know if that makes me feel any better about it.
The MS rep on the chat tells me he will add a note asking for the next one to be fully tested before it is shipped out. I don't really have any expectations left at this point but we'll see where that goes I guess..
He claims my case is flagged for special attention to make sure the controller will be working perfectly.. I can't wait.
I had something similar, but it was a higher sound with a harsh feeling when fully pressing the trigger, like the rubber/soft material was missing.I bought two of them when they initially came out. One replaced so far due to a weird creaky noise coming out of the right trigger when the trigger stop was engaged.
The replacement unit was initially fine, but it started to exhibit the same problem again, though not as severe as the first one.
Anyone experience this?
The controllers are otherwise the bomb and have been an absolute pleasure to use. There's no going back to the vanilla versions.
I got a Series 2 at launch, I immediately noticed it had a bad A Button. I believe the Lot # was ~1700.
Returned it for one from Lot #1950, put it through its paces, it works flawlessly.
There is a Lot number on the box of your controller. The higher it is, the newer the controller I think?

Mine from near launch is lot 1941 and it was terrible, so I guess the higher ones have been doing a bit better, but still hear about issues so I am not entirely sure.
Definitely not safe. Still see way too many issues. Get ready for some exchanges if you get into this.Is it safe to buy the controller now or the new batch still have issues ?
