    Nice upgrade over my series 1. I bought the core because I still had all the accessories from my original. Everything matches and that’s the only difference between the 2. Love the new grips.

    First elite controller I’ve ever bought, and i now i dont think i can use or go back to a regular controller anymore. Firm, has some wight to it, definitely a premium feel. Would recommend it to everyone, it gets some getting use to having the paddles in the back if you’re using all of them but, you get used to it in no time

    So far this controller has perfomed well despite negative reviews regarding stick drifting. I come from using the Razer Wolverine Tournament edition and still enjoy that controller, but its just something about having the option to play wirelessly and still getting decent performance results makes my gameplay experience so much more enjoyable. I also do prefer the back paddles and adjustable stick tention over the Razer as well. Hopefully the quality lasts long.

    I own the Elite 1 and still have it from years ago. This is a great upgrade. Totally worth ever penny. They reformed paddles so you accidentally push them. Great controller from a hardcoe gamer!

    Picked this up as an open box. I love the feel and weight of this controller. I’m not a great player but this helps me play a bit better with the paddles and being able to assign what they do.

    I’ve owned two series 1 elites and so far this controller is quite the improvement for the most part. The buttons all feel about the same, but the grips seem to be implemented far better than the series 1’s grips. The only minor nitpick I have is the buttons (namely the paddles) feel almost too click (this is a matter of personal preference really), and they’re also slightly different in their shape compared to the series 1, which I thought it’s paddles were just fine and didn’t need tweaked. Other than that very minor gripe I think I love it. The rechargeable

    The paddles on the controller make it easier and faster to initate moves and action of the game. The controller is more comfortable to use and has grips that keep my hands from sweating.

    Great controller but poorly made only reason to buy this controller would be woth a solid warranty like the total tech from best buy to where you can swap it out when need be. The sticks drift within 2 months the buttons get stuck without have sticky stuff on your fingers.
