    Wanted to upgrade from my original V1 I had and glad I did. Looks clean and is great for gaming. Wish it came with the case though.

    I got this controller for use specifically with my PC, but as it has differential profiles available (three to exact) I was also able to pair it with my Xbox. Great controller and I’m so impressed with the quality.I felt as though it was very well constructed. This makes two elite 2 controllers I have…too bad it won’t pair to my PS5

    The overall build of the controller is very nice. The added paddles are not my thing and I end up hitting them on accident more than not due to the size of my hands. Bluetooth doesn’t work for sht in windows 10. Drops connection every couple of seconds which is why the low score. Had to get an Xbox wifi adapter to fix the issue. For the price I should have to do that.

    So good in some ways, a let down in others. The Bad. The Bluetooth is not usable on my Windows 10 gaming pc. It seems okay and latency isn't an issue from what I can tell, but about every 5 minutes you'll lose control for a good 6-7 seconds. Maybe this could be fixed with a software update, but both my controller and the Bluetooth drivers on my computer are up to date. The wireless USB module took care of this. Just sucks always having one more USB drive being used. My A button stuck down for a brief moment twice. I'm hoping this doesn't get worse. The Good The case with the charger built in is a nice touch. The USB cable that comes with it is awesome. Feels very good in the hand. Has a dense solid feel, very quality build to it. The grips are much improved over the V1 Elite controller, which I've used for the last 3 years, that reduce sweating in the palms greatly. The new triggers are fantastic. The old, large ones are terrible by comparison on the last gen. The tension screws on the joysticks, wow! What a feature. I love that! Tool included and takes seconds to adjust. I now have my right stick on max resistance and I can aim so much better than before. Overall, I like the controller. The biggest concern is the sticky buttons at this point. If it continues I'll be replacing it with another one and if that one fails I'll wait until the 3rd generation. The first generation is still working well enough to get me by.

    I didnt realize this controller didnt come with the back paddles however its a great controller that works w my pc and xbox with no issues. So far the battery seems strong enough to handle decent sessions w.o dying or needing plugging in

    Controller is fantastic! After two years it has worked really well. Little stick drift in the right stick, but nothing that renders it unusable.

    Always love these controllers sadly this is my third one over time the left thumb stick seems to never recenter completely it's not that noticeable until you're playing a game that requires precision and this is also the second controller where the right bumper also messed up and sometimes doesn't work.

    I bought one of these because the last several regular controllers i bought have all had issues with either the a button or the right trigger. I thought for the extra money it had to be better. Well, not really. If your not going to use the extra mappable paddle buttons on the back I don't really think this controller is a worthwhile upgrade.

    This controller is the best controller ever. It is confortable and the paddles in the back are the best to keep your thumb on both thumbsticks
