    I already have the back paddles, so this is a nice replacement for broken elite controllers. Plus white is nice.

    Got this for my son, as for he had the series 1 awhile back. He loves it, says it makes his gaming easier. Good for more experienced players who are on a lot, not worth it for minimal use.

    I own the Series 1 and it’s nice but this one is great! It’s super comfortable and smooth. Love the internal battery and the fact that you can charge it while it’s in the case.

    Great build and provides more buttons and options than any controller on the market. An improvement over the series 1 but very familiar. Would recommend this version for new buyers if price is no issue.
