    Good overall but the first one I got had a big dead zone in the stick. This is possible with any controller. Also prefered the size of the back paddles from the Elite 1 controller.

    Only major issue is that windows does not like connecting to xbox controllers via Bluetooth I just have a lot of issues. Otherwise this is a great control, lots of customization, and the vase and magnetic charging mount are great

    Love this controller. Feels so much sturdier than the original. The ability to adjust trigger pull distance is a game changer for me in FPS games.

    This is a great product in every way advertised. I really like the customization that you can do with this and the built in battery. You just have to make sure you can justify the additional money. For me it was worth it. For some it may not be.

    Very slightly smaller profile with some nice enhancements over the V1, certainly more durable. Comes with a charging stand as well. Pricey, yes, but worth the investment imo.

    The controller has made big improvements in the overall feel and the controller just feels a lot more tight the adjustability on the thumb sticks is very important and the back paddles are way tighter. this is a pro level gaming controller

    Its an improvement over the first gen elite controller but the grip on the top is a little slick at first. After a break in period it should get better at gripping your hand other than that no complaints.

    Very nice controller, the paddles underneath take getting used to and I really like the extra weight. This is better than the Elite series 1 controller. A little pricy.

    Even though I return this item is an excellent controller it’s really comfortable to hold you get better aim in first person shooter games and the batteries built-in value for what you get high it’s really expensive that’s why I returned it
