Xbox Controller Out of Control? Claim Microsoft Elite Controller Warranty

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller has not been a great success for Microsoft. Many users experienced problems with faulty bumpers, stick drifts, and other defects. Because of these issues, Microsoft faces a class-action lawsuit.

The company later launched the Microsoft Xbox Elite Controller Series 2, which has not proved as a more reliable option. Microsoft received a lot of complaints about the device and decided to change the warranty policy for it. Check out what warranty changes Microsoft introduced and learn how to file a warranty claim for your Microsoft Elite Controller.

What Does Microsoft Elite Controller Warranty Entail?

Microsoft has changed the warranty period for Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 because a lot of people reported mechanical issues, such as:

  • Launch problems
  • Drifting thumbsticks
  • Connectivity disruptions
  • Sticky or unresponsive buttons

Instead of 90 days, the warranty lasts a year now. It covers the defects in material or workmanship.

If you’ve already paid for a repair of your Microsoft Elite Controller before these changes, you might get a refund.

How To File a Microsoft Elite Controller Warranty by Yourself

You can request a repair of your Xbox Elite Controller via the Xbox’s Support page. Here is how to do it:

  1. Log in to your Microsoft account
  2. Visit the Support Page
  3. Scroll down and enter your Xbox Elite Controller’s serial number
  4. Follow the instructions and finalize your request

You can find the serial number inside the battery department of your controller. If you have the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2, you can find the serial number on the back of your device. The number has fourteen digits and no dashes.

Microsoft might not recognize your controller’s serial number if you have never connected it. This situation might also happen in case you connected your controller for the first time less than 48 hours before checking the warranty.
