Appreciate if this might not fit some people's need. But for whoever is looking for one this seems like a good price. I've ordered from these guys before (as many others may have done too) and most stuff they advertise as grade A+ are coming new (with slight damage to packaging). Current price for a new one is around £110.

Perhaps grab a black/UV light and check your controller before you accept its condition.

Obviously everything is, in a sense, worth whatever you're willing to pay, but this thing is far being the Rolex of controllers.
1 in 6 reviews at 2 stars or less, rife with complaints about technical faults. It's not great, is it. Even for £70.
I'd be interested to know the production cost. I suspect Microsoft are keen that I don't.
Voted hot for the price.

I ordered a game in A+ condition from them last month and it came factory sealed. Didn't need o spend on a UV light at all. :smile:

Elite controller? Maybe have a whinge to MS and see if they will fix or replace. You payed enough for the controller, least they can do!

My RB did that called Argos they gave me Microsoft number to get a fault ref which I did and called Argos back and they arranged a replacement to be collected at the nearest available store the same day.

Get some nail polish remover and wipe the buttons with some cotton wool, the get a mcdonalds straw or similar, cut a little slit so that the straw fits around the buttons and twist. Sorted my stick button right out.

Which button?
Abxy/menu buttons could be due to a foreign object wedged in there and need stripping and cleaning.
LB/RB probably needs a new bumper altogether, possible damage to bar connecting them.
RT/LT could be physical damage to frame or to the rubber that holds the magnet in making it rub against the rear shell internals.

Is this a refurb? It doesn't say in the title?
If it's a brand new unopened pad with a scuffed box as it seems from the description then it's gonna go 1000°+ very quickly!

Cracking price and the controller is great to use hopefully they'll release a newer version with the added Bluetooth etc

Yeah they're making the Gen2 elite and it's a significant improvement over the standard One S pad by the looks of it!
I'm concerned that there is a weak link in the One S pads though.. on the 3.5mm it was the bumpers that kept failing which the One S doesn't suffer from.
The Bluetooth pad has a common failure of the thumbstick module where one of the retainer clips breaks and leaves the thumbstick with a lot of play in a clockwise/anti- clockwise movement (twisting movement) which makes playing shooters very difficult and needs a new module.
I think it might be due to the 33% increase in resistance over the previous generation pads which is creating more stress on the component causing it to fail.

I think when you see that something is graded, it should tell you that it isn't new, unless my thinking is completely wrong

Just ordered, been looking for one for a while but couldn't justify £120 odd. Thank you, heat added

Bloody great controller - significantly better than the standard one, well worth the X2 pricetag..... Love it for pc gaming

It's the same controller as a standard one except it has rear paddles and a profile switch added.
If you have a standard 3.5mm controller (not S) you can make a replica without the rear paddles very easily..
