    The Series 2 is priced a little high. I absolutely love it tho. You can adjust tension on the joysticks, has 3 different profiles and 3 different quick fire settings. Oh, cant forget the rechargeable battery. Its a gaming must have.

    Solid controller. Pros: - rechargeable long lasting battery - paddle sticks - exchangeable sticks Cons: - weight - can tend to cause some hand strain given location of paddles ( for me at least)

    I like that is heavier and not as slippery as the standard controller. The series 2 is improved but if you're a heavy gamer it will still wear out. But that's what the coverage is for. Also, love that is rechargeable.

    This is an awesome controller. Has great feel and weight to it. All the removable parts are magnetic so you can swap them out quickly but they stay in place while using it. Adjustable triggers are great for quicker response time.

    Got this for my husband as an early Christmas gift, and he loves it! He says it makes playing shooting games wayyy easier. I love that it is rechargeable too. It has already saved us so much money not having to buy so many batteries!

    The Elite series 2 is a great upgrade over its original model. It feels more tactile and comfortable to hold due to the increased amount of grip. The USB C port is also a great addition that it had over the original.
