Dunno about built in batteries, so for the PC I ended up getting a Xbox One controller and a pair of USB rechargable batteries, which in total was like 80€.One had stick drift, 4 others had face buttons that didn’t work some of the time.
is there a third party alternative that has a built in battery?
Thats honestly mostly the reason i keep getting them replaced.
Got a link for the usb rechargeable batteries?Dunno about built in batteries, so for the PC I ended up getting a Xbox One controller and a pair of USB rechargable batteries, which in total was like 80€.
Had the controller for like a year now and had 0 issues so far.
Razer Xbox controller have always been pure shit, I had one for 360 and it kept breaking and they kept sending me refurbs that also broke, eventually I just had to say fuck it and just use a regular controller. They used to do some silly shit with the triggers on the refurbs though like put tape around the inside of it, my triggers kept breaking.Not the elite controllers but I keep breaking the triggers on all sorts of Xbox controllers on pc. On my 3rd one in 3 years now. Granted they are all 3rd party wired ones but they aren’t the cheap ones (Razer wolverine, power funion pro 2 and latest a Nacon Revolution X). Hope this new one last a while.
Sure! Can't find the one I own, but this one looks exactly the same... Aside from the brand logo lol.Got a link for the usb rechargeable batteries?
I just want a convenient way to quickly swap out controllers.
Also, anyone have an idea of where I can offload a couple defective elite 2 controllers?
I’m done dealing with MS with is shit.
I’m appalled no one has gone class action on this yet.I believe they need to be sued to the ground with this (as well as Nintendo), also as we know, there are HALL effect sensor sticks on the market. Not too long ago there was some mini-notebook with them, chinese cheap goods. So don't fucking tell me, you cannot do these sticks, for a premium device.
Side note, I never had an issue with "pleb" Xbox controller.
For the premium price you pay my, it’s a damn travesty.One had stick drift, 4 others had face buttons that didn’t work some of the time.

My first Elite 2 controller has worked for years, it seemed like the only way to have Xbox one controller with a built in battery, they also just feel nice.Why would you keep getting the same controller if they all sucked
had this issue with a new xbox one controller... and the replacement controller i received from MS wouldnt sync.I bought two series X controllers. The right trigger sticks on both of them for like a half second before springing back to my finger.
Pedal to the metal, I guess.
For how much I love the controller, I agree op. Its dog shit. Right bumper issues are a joke, button issues are a joke. I don't get how they could fuck it up so bad.
They almost certainly won't as any new controller is going to not have the full life of the console to get developers to use any new features.Yeah, the Elite 2 was a mess. I hope they make a new, better one for Series X. Preferably, after they add similar features as the DualSense.
This is my main issue, if you open it up and put the elite v1 bumper switches in its supposed to be awesome. My biggest issue was the double click RB.Well over 3500 hours on mine and the left bumper is finally becoming intermittent. I'll have to take it apart, replace that switch I and think.it will be good as new. Battery still lasts about 40 hours/charge, I plug it in at most twice a week but usually once a week. My S1 and my S2 have both been flawless given the hours I've put on them both.
Incredibly piss-poor QA means examples like mine are probably not the most likely outcome which is unfortunate as it's a very good controller (and should be given it's price).
I'll take the gamble on the S3 Elite when it releases as so far I've had good luck but I stopped recommending these without a huge "but" included in the recommendation.
Just get a cheap akku pack.My first Elite 2 controller has worked for years, it seemed like the only way to have Xbox one controller with a built in battery, they also just feel nice.
Why won’t you just get a normal series controller? These are very solid. Look for 20th anniversary edition with rubber grips.
Built in battery is a scam anyway
