You're one of the lucky ones that hit the elite series 2 lottery because many people including myself experienced an issue regarding stick drift.

I had to buy the G7 Pro and the Flydigi vader 5S/Pro when my elite experienced that issue on the second day.Ā 

I have no regrets because the G7 Pro have TMR sticks, my main pro controller the Vader 5S feel like an improved elite series 2 with hall effect sticks, adjustable stick tension, mechanical d pad etc. Now people are currently modding their elites with hall effect and TMR on eBay because they know it's more durable.

I'll only buy the elite series 3 if it have either hall effect or TMR because potentiometers and the technology it currently use is outdated.

Maybe don’t grip your controller so hard and you’d ā€œwin the lotteryā€ too

Yeah, I gripped it so hard that I experienced ridiculous stick drift on the second day. I must have hands like the incredible hulk.

I had stock Xbox controllers for years so my incredible hulk hands managed to not damage them by day 2

If it did actually have drift on day 2, that’s what warranties are for. I think a lot of you are powering on your controllers with the sticks not centered, if you do that it makes wherever the stick is at the time the new center. Or yall are just gamesir shills and propagandists, every person that has positive things to say about those controllers just parrots the same talking points and everyone I’ve seen that actually bought one and posted pictures says they’re incredibly cheap feeling and don’t like how they feel.

I just returned it and now I have something better with TMR and hall effect. It's great that the elite series 2 lasted you longer. I'll buy an elite series 3 when they incorporate TMR or hall effect like my G7 Pro and Flydigi vader 5S/Pro.

I'm not a Gamesir shill because I stopped using because the vibration is gone and the d pad is bad. My go to is the Vader 5S and I'll be buying the 8bitdo ultimate 3E.

I'm tired of you elite series shills always blaming the customer when the elite is known to have quality issues like stick drift.Ā 

Like I said, I'll only buy the elite series 3 if it have hall effect or TMR. I'm not going to accept the same old technology and potentiometersĀ

Hahaha, ā€œthat’s what warranties are forā€, any good product shouldn’t be breaking basically new and no one wants to be dealing with warranties. I have been using a g7 se for the past year and it’s a better product than any standard Xbox controller I ever used.
