    Honestly, it's better than it's predecessor. Although I do like the grip of the first Elite controller better. I've gotten used to this grip, too the grip has not had any bubbling or warping because of heat. I do tend to lose connection to my Xbox every once in awhile.

    Love the controller. The weight helps a lot. Colors are useful so kids can have their own.

    I'm not a huge gamer that uses the extra paddles. However, the controller is really comfortable and nice to use. The trigger locks are even nice to experiment with in between games. However, I've heard of a couple people that have had problems with theirs right out of the box. So, if you get one that has everything working you should enjoy it.

    Great overall construction of controller, feels heavy and durable. Paddles are a definite game changer over stock controllers. No double AA, comes with internal rechargeable.

    I loved the first Elite controller but the Series 2 blows it away! Very well constructed. The stick tension, 3 step trigger locks, shorter upper paddles, 3 profiles instead of two, and improved bumpers are just amazing! Definitely worth the price if you wanna up your game.

    Love this thing. A little expensive but I think worth it. Recently got into gaming on my PC. Might buy an Xbox someday, if I do, I can use it with that, too. Comes in a case and has a wireless charger, and a selection of button types if you don't like the standard ones.

    The controller is great and Microsoft is currently making it more repairable so if you get it, you’ll have it for a long time. but I would look out for elite series 3 soon
