Hi Guys, wanted to give my fellow Guardians a heads up. Maybe you are thinking about picking up a Microsoft XB1 Elite Controller. I wouldn't anymore. I have mine since April 2016, and now, August 2016 it is completely worn out. - Right from the start of me unboxing it, i found it hard to insert the loading cable. I had to apply too much force to insert the plug intro the controller. Within a month of purchase the connector in the controller got loose and now the controller won't connect on the cable. Have to charge my battery pack in an other controller. - After only 2 months the left trigger rumble has started to make this irritating high pitch noise when activated and in the end you will switch of Vibration completely because of it. - in the 3rd month the left thumbstick started to show signs of drift and the resistance started to get less and less. - in the 4th month the rubber-coating for extra grip started to wrinckle and bubble. Eventually the glue is all over the controller and the rubbers are loose on several places. My average playtime is around 2 to 3 hours a day. I'll always take care of my controller, if it is not used, it is in it's case. No one else uses it. I don't throw with it or anything else. When i bought a Elite 1TB xBox One, I found the included controller to be very inferior to the original 360 controllers. But it seems that this inferior-light-plastic included controller outlives a 'Elite' controller of 130 Euros. Unacceptable. At the moment i've asked for a replacement in warrenty. I am in the Netherlands, so due to European laws I have 365 days of warranty. I will get a new one, or this one will be serviced. But if it will worn out again i will eventually make use of our consumer-protection and will demand my money back! It should be obvious that a Controller with a pricetag of this magnitude should outlast a cheaper controller! As i've said, just wanted to give my fellow Guardians a heads up. Maybe i've got a bad one, and recieve a better version. But nonetheless; Be warned. Considering to order a SCUF Controller. Any Guardians out here that can tell me about the quality of a SCUF controller? The Thumbsticks? The Grip Pro Add-on? Does it stick? Does it come loose? 'Elite' Pricetag=Check! 'Elite' Quality=Uncheck! With Regards, Chivas Regal NL
