Great when it works👍🏻 My lb stopped working after 5 months,sent it back to Microsoft finally received a replacement one after 6 weeks. They sent me a second hand broken one lb + rb not working also something rattling about inside. So I’m having to go through the whole process again. We’ll see how this goes I’m not expecting much. Cheaply made product with a high price tag.
I loved the elite 2 more than the elite 1 in terms of how much you could customize you're play; however, the elite 2 is also the only controller I've ever owned that had the bumpers stop working properly on (and within less than 1/3 of a year). I'm a player that's harder on the joysticks and softer on everything else (FPS alot). If you don't mind having to send it in for repairs frequently or getting it replaced it's GREAT. My Elite 1 lasted year before it had any problems (other than grip wear that everybody gets), and then it went downhill. Both are a steep price, but in terms of HOW they work WHEN they work. Both are amazing.
Great review man. Did you figure out why the bumpers were doing double press? And also is the trigger adjustment from the programme and the manual switch different. I heard in WZ if you have trigger stops you can’t drive vehicles at full speed?
Thanks man. I never did find a solution for the double press on the bumpers. As far as the trigger stops with the car I don’t think that is true. I haven’t played Controller in a few months but when I did I could go full speed in vehicles even with the trigger stops on.
considering it was a year ago now ur probs not gonna see this but in case you do and still haven't figured this out here it is. That screen with the triggers at 7:42 you can actually adjust the max and min input dead zones. so u can essentially make it so you go at full speed in vehicles in games while only slightly touching the trigger, i know this because i had the same problem with the 1st elite controller and it had the same fix. The reason this happens is because when you put the hair trigger locks on it locks the triggers movement but does nothing to the trigger input values, put plainly you're locking the trigger half the distance and the controller doesn't know about it
I've had 2 elite controllers series 2 over the past 5 months. Both of them have crazy double clicking for rb and lb. It is really annoying for some games. The paddles on the back are Amazing though! Just wish the controller would work properly
Almost all my buttons have broke and started to work again randomly,right now my left stick don’t work when I click it in ,before that the lefter bumper then right bumper were broken ..
wow thank you for sharing. This controller looks really solid. More than a scuf. I was about to buy a scuf, but it seems they break after 6 months, so I will be better of with one of these I guess :)
this controller sucks durability wise it will break it is more likely that it will break than work after 2 months a promise you at least buy the warranty
Did you get this sort of problem like with my elite series 1, i have the button on the right d-pad that just doesn’t work anymore and my controller have practically no grips left they all fell off with time. I had mine for approximately 2, 3 years and i wonder if it’s worth upgrading or just sticking with a normal controller once i’m able to find a damn series x.
had 4 s2's 1st 5 months then stick drift , 2nd stick drift outa the box , 3rd stick drift after 1 week , 4th 6 months then bad stick drift took it back gave up on them they r crap seems to last longer if dont use stick spring load
just too let you know if you dont play fortnite or call of duty with this controller the life span will be better cause i stop palying fortnite for a while and cod on my elite 2 it been 8 months no problems i think the problem is ya just using this controller for fortnite i enjoy playing this with monster hunter and a bit of halo single player story games is good too .
Was gonna buy a microsoft controller, but after reading so many reviews on failures of buttons and sticks, i decided to just buy a cheap 360 controller from china for USD 5 bucks. They can easily last a couple of months. Cant afford to pay premium for something that only last a couple of months. Used that money instead to get a 32 inch high refresh rate monitor. Just add a bit more cash.
I’ve never personally used a scuff, however, my friends who’ve had one say they break too easily. And I know from experience that the elite’s paddles are placed perfectly where my fingers are and easy to hold
Its supposed to eliminate the need for control freaks and like u say in a way it does however A standard thumbstick with a control freak is miles better than that long stick the difference is night and day once u go control freak u never go back inferno all the way baby 🤣
Just got 2 and they are both defective out of box. Xbox remotes are the worst...... gaming with Xbox remotes Is like running with your shoes on the wrong foot.
Great review thanks, appreciate how you focused on describing the controller and sharing your experiences 👍
Thanks a lot!!!
this is like my second month using this controller and so far no problem. I really like it , best controller i've ever used till now.
Well 2 months isnt that long.
A
Mine comes in today and I’m pumped
I love honest reviews.
Great when it works👍🏻

Yeah man they really need to do a better job on qc. Mine has gotten worse since posting this video🤦♂️
In Australia you'd be entitled to an immediate replacement with a brand new controller.

Good review excellent insight bro
Excellent review. Thank you 👍🏻
Thank you!
Sounds like with that trigger double press issue you should be returning the controller.
Let’s go another fellow lakers fan.
Yes sir. Lakers Nation!!!
I’ve had a second hand series one for around three years and nothing is wrong with it only the grip fell off but I can replace that
Nice!

@@BILLD4KILL3R Thanks man. Copped it like a year back and it’s been great. Helps the strain on thumbs etc from warzone with the paddles mainly too 😂
nice review! i've seen you got a FST 0001 model. i live in Brazil and i acquired a FST 0002, imported. so, whats the difference? 0002 a brand new one?
I’m not sure to be honest
I've had 2 elite controllers series 2 over the past 5 months. Both of them have crazy double clicking for rb and lb. It is really annoying for some games. The paddles on the back are Amazing though! Just wish the controller would work properly
I feel you in the double clicks. Mine does the same and it’s super annoying when trying to navigate menus.
If it had actual quality control it would be so good.
Almost all my buttons have broke and started to work again randomly,right now my left stick don’t work when I click it in ,before that the lefter bumper then right bumper were broken ..
your controller has a disease, exchange that bitch
wow thank you for sharing. This controller looks really solid. More than a scuf. I was about to buy a scuf, but it seems they break after 6 months, so I will be better of with one of these I guess :)
Thank you! I think the paddle placement is especially better than the skuf
It seems to me that the directional sticks could easily fall, or do the hold very tightly?
Nah they hold on tight enough. It’s never been a problem for me
The music is so loud and the voice so quiet, bit of a bummer.
Yea sorry about that. The mixing is a lot better in my more recent videos
Trippin that u replied to this man while I was watchin the video! :o
mine stopped working after 2 months
Wow that’s crazy. Maybe it was bad luck🤷♂️
liked and subscribed minute fam!!
Thanks bro, when did you get this controller and how has it been holding up?
No problem. I got the controller in the summer of 2019. It’s held up fairly well besides some stick drift and the bumpers being a little funny
@@thetechteacher2411 So how do you deal with the stick drift? That's not good. Is there a way to zero it out?
@@vripiatbuzoi9188 i turn up the dead zone a bit and it cancels out the drift more or less.
this controller sucks durability wise it will break it is more likely that it will break than work after 2 months a promise you at least buy the warranty
Would you recommend it though like do you think of the average gamer gets they would have any major issues
I would recommend it to anyone, especially casual gamers because they are less likely to wear it out as fast as a hard core gamer.
Good shit man
Thank you!

I had mine for approximately 2, 3 years and i wonder if it’s worth upgrading or just sticking with a normal controller once i’m able to find a damn series x.
My grips and d pad is still holding up well on mine
had 4 s2's 1st 5 months then stick drift , 2nd stick drift outa the box , 3rd stick drift after 1 week , 4th 6 months then bad stick drift took it back gave up on them they r crap seems to last longer if dont use stick spring load
Xbox elite 1 lasts longer then the 2nd, sucks to hear they still use the cheap analog sticks
I'm into my 3rd elite series 1 controller. Overpriced rubbish.
How’s it holding up now in 2021? September 1st I get mine today from fed ex
It still works fairly well. But I main mouse and keyboard now
@@thetechteacher2411 definitely can’t wait. I had the elite series 1 and it did very well for me :)
I think you will like it very much
@@thetechteacher2411 just arrived already testing it great so far. What’s with the comments saying it “comes” with stick drift 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome! If it comes with stick drift you should return it lol
Very Very Nice! 👏👍
I'm still using 360 and you are saying still worth of elite 2?
The 360 Controller was great but I still prefer an elite controller that works lbs
Will this controller work with X Box Series S?
Yes. It will work on any Xbox made after the 360
Should I get it I really want it
It’s a really good Controller. Just prone to breaking. I would buy it again but keep in mind the bumpers might go out on you.
@@thetechteacher2411 oh ok
Yup, Thee best controller. I don't need a dualsense nothing.
Definitely the best one I’ve ever used!
I use the shortest/lowest Kontrol Freeks for the increased surface area for my thumbs. Will they fit over the standard elite 2 thumbsticks?
I would assume so but I’m not completely sure
just too let you know if you dont play fortnite or call of duty with this controller the life span will be better cause i stop palying fortnite for a while and cod on my elite 2 it been 8 months no problems i think the problem is ya just using this controller for fortnite i enjoy playing this with monster hunter and a bit of halo single player story games is good too .
That’s the only reason I bought it was to play cod abs fortnight 😂
Mines broke from gta 5
This is meant to be a pro controller so yh
Cool bro love the detailed info👍💯
Thanks man!

How do the paddles compare to the scuff?
I’ve never personally used a scuff, however, my friends who’ve had one say they break too easily. And I know from experience that the elite’s paddles are placed perfectly where my fingers are and easy to hold
normalize your audio, it helps
The new videos are better with audio levels. Thanks for the feedback though!
Waiting for them to make a white one
That things would be beautiful 😍
Its supposed to eliminate the need for control freaks and like u say in a way it does however

Don’t buy this controller without warranty I’m on my 4 controller all cheap parts but it’s good to game with that’s it
I wonder if there’s a limit on how many times you can exchange the controller
Hi
dont buy this mine came defective out of box no quality control at all
Wow 🤦♂️
@@thetechteacher2411 I know man was looking forward to it :(
Just got 2 and they are both defective out of box. Xbox remotes are the worst...... gaming with Xbox remotes Is like running with your shoes on the wrong foot.
No thanks. I prefer to buy the Razor.
Ok
Incase you don't want to watch the video: no is the answer
