No issues with theirs since the controller launched.

“I've had mine since whenever they came out and haven't had any issues”
positive

Still a favourite for weight and comfort, but plagued by mechanical issues like unresponsive face-button edges.

“Elite 2 is still one of my favorite controllers. Great weight (don’t like it too light in weight), great texture/comfort”

Doesn't use it at all any more; prefers their G7 Pro.

“I have both. Don't use my elite at all. It's garbage.”
negative

Went through seven Elite 2s on warranty, each broken in some way.

Their first Elite 2's bumper died within weeks and the replacement's stick magnets failed.
