do all XB1 controllers have this 'feature!'?

this might sound like being picky, but it's annoying me....

when using the thumbsticks, when they hit off the casing there's a noise from the controller like something is loose, kinda like a spring vibrating? a small clatter! to me it makes it feel wrong

if I squeeze the casing (front to back) then the noise stops

I sent the controller back to Microsoft, who have sent me a replacement that does the exact same thing!

a standard XB1 controller that I have doesn't do this...maybe they all do this because they're made of different material etc but I find it hard to believe..
so if anyone with the controller could check this out for me pls...

Aye I bought a standard controller for when the Elite was sent to Microsoft to get replaced and it feels solid too.

Have now noticed the rumble/vibrate makes a noise too, so something's loose there as well. Will be sending it back again.
Also...,it arrived in a Jiffy bag, loose inside. expected better packaging for something worth £120!
 
yeah I meant to put that in the title

it works fine btw, no issues. but the noise is distracting, it's not loud but it's irritating - kinda 'nails down a blackboard' sort of noise
such a shame as the Elite controller feels amazing to hold with the rubberized grips

the noise from the rumble is just taking the **** tho tbh
