There is no better Xbox style controller. Ignore the "sky is falling". Get the warranty for peace of mind.
I still have the Elite Series 1. Is it worth upgrading?

Note that this is the "core" model which retails at $129 not the full model that contains the full set of components which retails for $179. So you are saving $25 off the retail price not $75 as this post implies.

Also note that since this model does not come with all the components you will have to purchase those separately to get the full benefits of the elite controller at an added cost of $59 retail price.

"The primary difference between the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core and the regular (or full) Xbox Elite Series 2 controller lies in the accessories included and the level of customization available.

Xbox Elite Series 2 Core

• Accessories: The Core model is a more stripped-down version, and it only includes the controller itself along with a USB-C cable.
• Customization: It lacks the additional swappable components, such as extra thumbsticks, paddles, and D-pad options.
• Intended Audience: It's designed for gamers who want the basic features of the Elite Series 2 but may not need all the extra accessories or customization options.

Xbox Elite Series 2 (Full Model)

• Accessories: The full version comes with a range of extra components including:
• 6 thumbsticks with different designs
• 4 paddles
• 2 D-pads (standard and faceted)
• A carrying case, a charging dock, and a set of thumbstick adjustment tools.
• Customization: This model is meant for players who want to fully customize their gaming experience, offering maximum flexibility in how the controller is configured.

Both versions share the same core features like adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grip, hair-trigger locks, and customizable profiles via the Xbox Accessories app .

In short, if you want more out of your controller in terms of hardware customization and included accessories, the full model is the better choice. If you're fine with just the essential features, the Core model offers the same performance without the extras."

You can buy a 3 year extended warranty from Xbox directly, but you have to do it over the phone at their 1-800 number it was like $20 if I remember correctly.

I did this with mine when I got it through the Verizon deal a year or so ago… already had one claim for a bumper working inconsistently. Easy peasy process. Just a note if y'all want to avoid Walmarts warranty.

This is true but they (Microsoft) do replace with, in my experience, a brand new one if you have issues within a year. I set a reminder on my phone and pretty much always exchange it.
Unfortunately, this hasn't been my experience. I agree that the Microsoft device warranty is nice, but I've sent them back the same controller three times now and it has come back with the same exact issues each time (unresponsive face buttons). One time it came back with a new issue (left stick now gets stuck when moving bottom-right) and the old issues remained.

And this is all within a few months of purchasing a new controller. I've definitely never gotten a new one back from them, and I'm not even sure they're doing more than dusting it off and sending it straight back to me.

Holy crap! I didn't realize these controllers had such issues. I was considering buying an untested second hand one, but not now. If new is already risky , used is too risky. Thanks, fellow cheapskates!

I have two of these. Only ever used it for COD and the upper left back paddle doesn't work right any more. It's the default A button and to get it to register I have the press tf out of it. Made me want to not even open the 2nd controller so it's still in the box.

Right bumper took a dump right after the warranty period with light use. I'd never buy one again.

Easily fixed. It's a membrane switch.

Why get this over a regular Xbox controller? The extra buttons? Is anything else better about it quality wise?
I found out the hard way that is a no. You are given the back buttons but you can't reprogram them to like do a a different sequence. It is really just to have another place to do the action. I have only used the back buttons a few times recently. And i already have stick drift having it six months. They are crap. The original controllers are still better for reliability. The original one is have still works after3 years.

I like the weight of the elite but that is about it

I have 2 elite series 2 since they launched and have had zero issues with them (no drift issued or issues with the shoulder buttons, face buttons, etc.) having said that i still recommend extended warranty or using a card that doubles the warranty for any controller after the PS3/360 generation... In particular for Switch JoyCons just due to the possibility of drift.
Me too. My launch era Elite 2 went 4 years before it developed a dead spot in the left stick. I have soldering skills so I took it apart and replaced the stick. Back in business. Also have a white core2 and it's been fine.
