    The elite series 2 has solved all the issues from the original. The analog stick tension adjustment is the best feature. Overall the controller is well build and feels solid. I am happy with the internal battery life as I go weeks between charging.

    With the toggles on the back, it frees up your thumbs for all movement. Great for FPS games, but also find it useful for Elder Scrolls Online, Smite, etc... Highly recommend for all gamers, don’t have to be a pro to use this controller.

    After buying this controller I was immediately able to go pro. No, you can’t have my twitch info. See you at the Halo Infinite 2022 championship, I’ll be the only guy playing on an Xbox.

    The best controller in the industry, hands down. Especially if you have the 2 year Best Buy warranty. 60 dollars each time you need a new one! It makes too much sense!

    Better than the first xbox elite controller. The construction of this expensive thing is better, the options to select button presets on the controller (without needed to go through the xbox menu) is nice.
