    This is the first elite controller I've own and I can say that this is amazing! Pros: feels great, decent weight, so many features, cheaper than scuff

    I am very disappointed, to say the least, with the Elite Series 2 after my purchase of the controller and warranty for far too much money, especially at the $200 price point BEFORE WARRANTY, and I Honestly Feel that you're paying Solely for the Products Brand Name at this point sadly and these reasons are justified, at leaset to myself, due to firstly how Heavy and Big the controller is and feels, where the paddles are located while in a terrible position especially if using all 4 paddles like I do for games like COD as they are too long making it impossible to fully grip the controller without pushing the paddles down rendering both useless literally laugh out loud when your hands are sweaty or in a tense battle or game like even Fifa where I like to use the top two paddles in replace of the L1 and R1 triggers so that I can dribble and control how fast I move/sprint easier all the while still being able to move and shoot with my hands on all the buttons necessary, and lastly the feel of the thick hand grips and meshy buttons that can get stuck at any moment, I mean come on these buttons should be a mechanical by now on such an expensive controller for the Tactical and overall feel, so I'd Greatly advise trying out the Razor Chroma v2, if you don't mind wired giving you 10 ft to reach any distace especially for competitive gameplay, as the only issue with these Razor Chroma v2 Controllers in the past was not being able to adjust the analog stick sensitivity and fixing any possible stick drift but now that Razor have fixed that within the app while being able to adjust from the default analog stick sensitivity at 4 down to 2 makes these Chroma v2 Razor controllers Absolutely Perfect giving you the most precise movement I've Ever felt on a Gaming Controller and now Easily eclipsing The Elite's with this Much Needed Fix, while also feeling so much lighter and comfortable due to the textued hand grips and mechanical buttons like a PC, and finally a much better paddle feel and placement then the Elite Series 2 as the paddles are sturdier and more cenralized on the back of the controller making them easy to reach due to the controller being smaller then the Elite and also out of the way so you can fully grip the controller when switching to competitive from casual gameplay and at nearly half the price it is completely worth it as I've converted all of my friends to them who enjoy them much more then the Elite's Overpriced Controller.

    Excellent weight. Seemingly durable(I’ve dropped it quite a bit but it is still early). Amazingly customizable and I can use it with my pc. Best purchase I’ve ever made.

    I wanted this to perform better and I have! The paddles feel a little close to one another in the back but they still work very well!

    I love it, it doesnt seem to have the thumbstick drift like the original elite. Only thing I dont like is the new paddles, they are just a little too small for my liking.

    battery lasts longer, it feels better, connects better, is more customizable, and is even built better than the elite series 1 definitely worth purchasing.

    Feels good. I like the weight and the haptics but the stick drift drives me crazy. Brand new and even when customizing the controller through the Xbox it recognizes out of the box there is stick drift.
