FYI, I personally only know one other person who has used Elite controllers. Both of us have had multiple issues, and with multiple controllers. Not only did Microsoft extend the warranty on my controller and repair it once for free, I also go a free controller as part of a class action lawsuit. The controller Microsoft repaired still has some issues. The one I got from the lawsuit seems problem free so far.

I have completely lost faith in Microsoft with the elite 2 controller... Maybe this reengineered wording means its been improved like you said, but unless they flat out say "HEY WE FIXED ALL THE PROBLEMS!" I'm not going to try it.
I am hoping they fix their problems for the elite 3. Meanwhile I'm still using my elite 1 and taking it apart every couple months to replace the parts that fail. It's annoying but it's the best controller I've ever used so it's worth the effort.
So IMO to anyone who looks at this and thinks its a good deal... Don't get your hopes up and make sure you can do free returns for opened/defective products. If it's a gift, TEST IT YOURSELF!
Honestly this product was so bad Amazon stopped selling it for a while.
It's amazing, heavily recommend it.
But remember, this controller is a gamble: either you get a good one, or you're gonna be stuck in the hell-loop of repaired controllers.
