Noted a disproportionate number of complaints about the Elite controller. Is it a case of perception (expensive controller so any faults are amplified), or the customer base that buys them (hardcore gamers who thus put more hours into the controller and work them harder), or both? I have the basic Xbox One controller as well as the newer one, and I've no complaints. As a PC gamer they aren't my main controllers so they don't get to see that much use, probably about 100 hours a year at most.
Only issue i had with mine is that it doesn't tend to like charging from the contacts on the back, not a huge deal when i can just use usb C anyways. But yeah, it's super luck of the draw. I love the controller to death though so i can't blame people for continually coming back for more. The playstation alternative isn't exactly as good on PC feature wise and has less paddles too.
