    I liked the weight and feel of the controller, with the rubber grips and adjustable triggers for short throw. Awesome. Highly recommend

    This controller is DEFINITELY way higher quality than the basic xbox controllers. The ability to create custom button mappings for different games is awesome. The paddles take time to get used to using, but once you master them you will see a major difference in your competitiveness on FPS games. The controller also allows you to adjust the stiffness of the analog sticks, and adjust the tension of the triggers which also helps give you a slight edge. The gripped handles mixed with the weight of the controller make the controller sit perfectly in your hands. I have read some complaints about the controller having drift issues, and bumper problems in the future. I have not had this issue yet, however I would say do what I did: buy the controller on sale or have bestbuy price match a competitor, and spend the difference on geek squad protection. (I bought the controller for $100 using price match, than spent basically the difference on geeksquad protection. This basically equated to the same price as the controller) doing that gives you 2 years of protection.

    Major upgrade from the basic controller

    Way better than the standard Xbox controller. I like that you can set the back paddles to anything you like. No more having to buy batteries since it’s rechargeable. The biggest problem is the joysticks, the drift is very real and for a controller with a high price they should be better.

    Hopefully it has better longevity than V1

    I loved the V1 controller - except the rubber grips that separated, and not because of water, or sweat, or oil, or anything else, they simply separated due to poor construction. This one seems to have addressed that issue, the design is different for how the rubber is attached. As for the rest, I didn't use all four bottom paddles on the original, I didn't like their placement, but the new one I'm using all four happily, but I don't know if that's simply because I became more accustomed to bottom controls using a Razor wired controller, or because these are arranged differently. Control is spot on. Unlike the Razor, I absolutely love the buttons here, no mushy feeling like the Razors (I had both versions of the Razor with the buttons on the bottom, the 2 button and the four button one), they're crisp and sharp, you can feel the click and know it engaged. Sticks are great, the default tension was good for me so I didn't have to adjust that at all, but now you can if you like a looser or tighter feel. Only one taller stick is included, so if you want higher sticks for both, you'll have to buy another stick from some source. No issues with pairing, no issues with this not turning the Xbox on anytime. Battery life has been amazing, I can do day long stretches of Destiny for days in a row before I have to connect - and the USB C charging is way better, I can use my laptop's cable while I play if needed when it runs low as I'm using it. The included little charger base works well. I've always loved the Xbox One controller form factor, it's my favorite of all consoles (and yes, I have every one out there other than the PS4 pro). Nothing fits as naturally in my hand, and this is right there, that wonderful "Feels like it's part of your body" contours that make it comfortable for extended gaming sessions. Shoulder buttons and triggers are responsive and I almost never accidentally hit one of the shoulder buttons, so that's a bonus compared to the Razor... I like the adjustable trigger travel as well. My downsides - I'm not a fan of the grip. Yes, it's designed better than the first gen, and shouldn't come apart, but it's more plasticy, not as grippy, so I wish it was just a bit tackier to the touch. Second issue, I wish the batteries were replaceable at the user end. But all told, definitely a solid follow up on what was the perfect controller until it came apart.

    Very neat controller, it is comfortable and has some pretty cool features like being able to decide if the trigger buttons are just click buttons or if you need to be able to feather it. Can also add paddle buttons to the back. My only gripe would be it does not come with atleast a set of paddles to add.

    This XBOX Elite series 2 core controller pairs well with PCs. I tried using my PS controller and it gave me a hard time. I would definitely buy another one.
