    Has a different feel but its gets better once you get use to it and there is a learning curve with using the paddles during FPS games

    Two paddles on one side would not work on first controller. The second one works as it should. I was very surprised by the quality of the controller. The interface is dope , battery life is awesome. I’m happy as hell with it

    This is better than the original and has add on features, but you do pay a premium for the color which seems excessive.

    I really think the elite controller series 2 is a good product ideally but they have a lot to work on when it comes to the controller because it supposed to be durable but in reality it has its faults when it comes durability And I feel for the price we pay for the controller we should get nothing but the best and not less Because I’m having the same problem with this controller as I am with the $69 controllers the buttons are getting stuck and I’m not really liking that about it at all

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
