    Awesome controller. The elite 2 controller is better than the elite 1 in every way. Just wish the large sticks were the same height.

    Great controller with the feel and adjustables. But the down button on the dpad is bad. Clicks just fine without the covering but when placed back on it gets stuck on the way down. Good thing most my games don’t use the dpad too heavy

    Broke down and upgraded from the series 1. Not a bunch of changes from that one. It feels better and feels sturdier than the previous version.
