    Ive had it for about a month now and love it. I have a small collection of special edition controllers id switch between but now they’re purely for display. This Elite Series 2 feels super premium and is a solid controller. I play with only the bottom 2 paddles attached and map them for reload and weapon swapping in FPS games and hand brake or shifting in racing games. Trigger stops are awesome and i love the different D-pad and stick options.

    I had the elite v1 for a little over a year before moving to the v2. Overall, the v2 is a much higher quality controller than the v1 with only one downside when compared to the v1. The v1 used a membrane style for its button mechanisms in both the joysticks and the paddles, however the v2 uses more of a clicky button style mechanism. In the v1 the signal pulses consistently, however, in the v2, sometimes the signal stops pulsing which requires me to then reset the button by pressing it again, this behavior never happened to me when i uses the v1. That said, the membrane style in the v1 controller wore out very quickly. The v2 mechanism still feels brand new even though I’ve been playing with it daily since it was released. Finally, if i had to choose between the v1 and v2, given my post above i would still pick the v2 because of the build quality and durability.

    Excellent quality, remapping buttons are super easy with the Xbox Accessories app. Ultra high quality materials, buttons, and paddles. Rechargeable battery is long lasting. Price is pretty steep, but 100% worth it if you are serious about gaming

    Love the weight and grip on this controller. The pads come off for washing if needed and you can change the feedback on the triggers with buttons on the back

    This controller has sveral more functions than the standard remote which makes it more entertaining while playing games. Giving you more abilites and control of the game makes it well worth the money. The battery lasts a long time and I have not had it die on me yet. I definitely recommed.
