Hey guys,
Just picked up one of the new series 2 Elite controllers. Overall, it's pretty sweet. Wireless USB-C charging dock (built-in battery), adjustable tension in the sticks, full wrap-around grips, new analog stick texture options, a quick-switching profile button, and bluetooth are some of the new additions. It kinda rules.
Except that said, it kinda doesn't seem to rule. The original I bought from Best Buy immediately had a left analog stick issue where it'd get stuck in a lower left position and not return to center without forcing it. I discovered this immediately upon opening the box and brought it back to the store and got a new one. Round two seems much better. The Xbox button threw me off because it's very clicky and has very little movement when pressed, but otherwise I thought I was good to go. I jumped into some Overwatch to test things out, and almost immediately I noticed that the A button felt mushy, and more to the point, that when I hit it in a certain way, the A button doesn't register as a press. It's only when I hit it in what I think was the lower left quadrant of the button, but it leads to the button not registering every handful of presses unless I'm pressing it very deliberately, which is kinda terrible, as the last thing I want to worry about in the middle of any kind of action is how my thumb is specifically striking any given button.
Should I return it and forget about it? The A button issue kinda seems like something I could get used to, but for the price, this is just a bit ridiculous.
Anyone else with issues? Or anyone get one and having no problems at all? I'd be interested to hear either way.
