The problematic Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is forcing gamers to rely on the Amazon return policy. Despite its high cost, the esports controller suffers from malfunctioning buttons and stick drift.

Just like the 8bitdo that's being shilled on here.

That image is of the series 1 not 2

That's strange that Amazon uses the wrong image. However, they are definitely shipping the Series 2 if you buy it from that listing. The information lower on the page uses a different image.

The inevitable stick drift is exactly why I haven't bought an Elite series controller and never will unless Microsoft ever starts using the same thing third party manufacturers do that eliminate the stick drift problem. For the price of an Elite controller there's no excuse for Microsoft to put out a product with the problems it has. I need to buy another core controller because of stick drift in the one that came with my series s console. I'm for sure paying the few dollars for a two year protection plan because I know I'll need to use it inevitably at some point and not have to shell out money for a replacement in 6 months. I'll probably buy a turtle beach stealth controller before long.
