That's good. Now they just need to design their next controller so that it's easier to open and close again. Preferably with screws and magnets instead of plastic clips.
I had the same issue and warrantied it for $100. I’m still pissed off but it was roughly the cost of a new controller. I can’t live without underside buttons anymore.
This personally irks me. I bought into their marketing on the first elite controller, but the switches on the small board for the paddles were easily damaged from the metal paddles. I had even called M$ trying to get a warranty replacement (accessories only have 30 day warranty and mine was less than a year old) quote for repairs, or where to get parts to sauter new switches. Though the pricing for that same board for the 2nd version is half the price of a new replacement, and only $10-20 cheaper then a replacement of a non-generic standard controller. Glad I didn't bother giving them a 2nd chance.
Can they start selling controllers with motion controls? Everyone else has had them since 2006. It isn't a gimmick, and it isn't going away any time soon.

A small step, I wanted to format an xbox HDD the other day and the only way is hacky workarounds

Hopefully this means I can fix my elite controller’s fucky LB button. Have to press it ridiculously hard for it to register

My RB on mine. And my left joystick is super loose.

They need to overhaul their controllers in general. Tech has fallen behind the rest, and I love the xbox controller…but yeah its due for a revision.
