    This is without a doubt a better feeling design then the first Elite controller. It has 3 positions for controller config potions, and the grips on the handles have a softer bump fell to them. The paddles on the bottom also feel better, a little more tucked in and out of the way. Also love the blacked out look of the controller. Just hope that the right and left bumper do better then the first Elite controller, Had to get mine fixed/replaced twice because they failed to work.

    Absolutely love using these controllers but the longevity of the sticks before stick drift kicks in is killing me. On my second controller, the first one both sticks had serious stick drift that I could not handle and my Right Bumper became useless and stopped working. My second one now after six months my right thumb stick is now having stick drift making it impossible to use. Its perfect until issues arise.

    Best controller ever. I've used the series 1 and other normal controllers. These one is hands down amazing. Grip around the whole thing. Rechargeable battery that can dock inside the case with the charger coming in through the back. Adjustment tool to loosen or tighten the sticks. 1/4 pull on the triggers instead of a half pull. Whole thing feels sturdy with a nice weight to it. How many normal controllers have you purchased? 2 or 3? Could of bought this and definitely should. Stop buying crappy controllers.

    So far, I can say I really enjoy this controller. It fixed many of the minor issues with the elite 1. The controller itself is the size of the average Xbox one controller. The grips feel natural and don't get in my way. The paddels, even though I don't use them, seem like they would be comfortable for someone who uses them. The battery lasts an incredible amount of time before it needs a charge, which can be charged in the case with the attached usb-c cable. Overall, I am happy I bought the elite 2, which is worth the money.

    I've had this controller for two years, I still haven't had a single issue with it. I love the ability to customize the buttons on the back to whatever you want. It made my apex plays even crispier. Thanks for the great tech and quality materials.

    The case acts as a charging cradle. The buttons are interchangeable and the sentisitivy is adjustable with a tiny hex bit included in the kit. If you are a first person shooter fan, this is your best option.

    I was skeptical about paying $200 for a controller

    This controller is amazing. I was very skeptical at first of paying over $200 for a controller (with the warranty), but this is the best controller I've ever owned. The grips, additional paddles, interchangeable joysticks and D-pad are fantastic. There are so many customizeable features about this and it feels like a premium product. You can tell that Microsoft put a lot of work into this controller design. I'd encourage others to purchase one unless you're holding out for next-gen controllers.

    This new controller was just the thing that I needed to make some of my games easier to play. The paddles on the back are customizable so you can determine what they do and to have so many configurations you can set makes switching games easu

    Non-gamer here. It was hard to understand why we needed to upgrade to the elite controller until I held each and felt the difference. I've watched enough game play to see how intense the play can be, so now I can also understand why having some of the features would help. So instead of having to buy a new basic controller every 3-4 months because of the wear and tear, we'll invest in this and see it last a lot longer
