My Elite Series 2 died. Actually, it lasted a shorter time than the Elite Series 1. The first issue was that a paddle or the corresponding button didn't click. The second issue was that the B button didn't go all the way down easily and sometimes it got stuck. The third issue was the grip peeling. This didn't bother me that much, but I thought that they would have fixed this because in the first model it also happened! The fourth and definitive issue was the right bumper that stopped responding half of the time. This is why I can't use it anymore. I love the Elite Series controller, especially the first model, but I don't think I'll buy a second Elite Series 2 in spite of having two cases and plenty of accessories. I wonder if they'll announce a third Elite model along with the Sebile controller. Actually, the paddles is the thing I like the most about the Elite controllers and the Sebile controller doesn't seem to have that. Otherwise, I'd be happy with the new leaked upcoming controller. What do you think about the Elite controllers and how was your experience using them? I love them, but I'm also disappointed.

@dmcc0 A little thing that saved me from buying more Nintendo and PS controllers! Normally, I use it wired, but I liked that both types of connection are available. I stopped hoarding controllers after the Wii experience. 🤣

@Banjo- Yeah, I think that's me sorted for controllers now - or at least will be once the 8bitdo M30 for the recently-(re)acquired Mega Drive arrives 😅

I wish I'd know about the Brook adaptors before I spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for a replacement PS3 Controller. Luckily I came across them before I actually spent any cash on a new one. I also bought the Dreamcast/Saturn version too, although I still bought a Retro Fighters wireless Dreamcast pad around the same time 🤣

It still feels a bit weird playing a PlayStation with an Xbox controller though.

Anyone else misses the bigger size of the Xbox One and Xbox Elite Controller Series 1? Is there a third-party controller like that? The Series X|S controller is a bit too small for my hands. Even the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is, although I'd say that the Series X|S is smaller. I'm also wondering when will the next official controller be announced.
