    Improved fit in hands and less effort to use. Big upgrade from the elite 1. Love the built in case charger as well. I ended up pulling some of the buttons off my elite one and using those just because I have worn them in just right.

    You probably don't need this controller. It costs as much as a new Xbox these days, and doesn't really do much differently than the standard Xbox One controller. It is clearly built like a tank and is a very impressive piece of engineering... but you probably won't find it worth the price of admission.

    I have owned the elite 1 and now the series 2 elite. I can confirm the best controller on PC and Xbox has been supplanted by the newer model. The build quality is top notch, button response perfect, joysticks have no drift, and the joystick tension adjustment is amazing. The carrying case now has a charging dock also. I recommend this to anyone looking for the best.

    This thing is a sculpted masterpiece! I loved the first gen controller and they went and upgraded it. This thing is incredible. I’m annoyed off though. One of my family members (I’m pretty sure) three away my d-pad and since Microsoft doesn’t make replacement parts I’m going to have to but from a sketchy third party and hope it all works properly.

    This are truly the best control to buy if you're in the market for a top tier OE controller! Everything from the weight to the adjustability of the joy sticks is absolutely top notch! I do STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU BUY THE GEEK SQUAD WARRANTY as this thing won't last forever unfortunately.

    It’s a pretty solid controller the grips and the design are amazing and I love the fact that I can change my DPad and my left and right stick and adjust them to my liking. And I’ve had it for about almost 4 weeks now.

    Fantastic controller. The only complaint I have is that it is too small and often feels uncomfortable because of it.

    This controller was a hard purchase for the money. Let me tell you though it was completely worth it. I have loved it since the first time I used it to play. The ability to tighten the sticks is a very big deal and makes a huge improvement.

    I absolutely love the quality of the previous Elite controllers but this was worth the upgrade. The battery life is amazing, the weight is well balanced and does not cause fatigue. The packaging seems hefty but that is because the carry case has a battery charging. Also love that the carry case has a pass through port to charge the controller while having it protected in the case.

    Controller is amazing and would be super perfect but came defective twice. Had to exchange the first and second finally got a good one the third time. Had to talk with Microsoft got tired of paying BB 40$ for insurance when it was clearly a Microsoft error. My controllers had joystick drift.

    The best xbox controller I've ever used. This thing is great. It doesn't feel like its cheaply made because it has the proper weight a controller should have. The customizable buttons are great additions even though I rarely use them. Having a USB-C case case that serves as a charging is great to have

    I don't know about the bottom flippers as I haven't used them. I really like it as the weight is good make you feel as though it is a substantial controller rather than the flimsy aftermarket controllers that are sold. I bought it because the xbox that I bought only had a flimsy aftermarket controller (wired at that)
