    Overall, a really good controller. The grips are much better. The even smaller hair trigger is awesome, and I really love the tension adjustable sticks. Cons: The stick are slightly wobbly out the box. The controller seems to disconnect from the xbox every now and then for no reason.

      Hey there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying the improved grip and responsiveness of your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Random disconnects can occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://aka.ms/AA4w2z7

      Hope that helps,

    This controller is pricey, but if you play a lot the cheaper controllers end up breaking. The charging dock is a great feature, and one that 1st gen elites didn’t have. They have also added paddles (4 total vs the 2 on the first gen). All in all a very solid feeling controller for the serious gamer.

    I had the first elite controller and it finally went out after 5+ years. This is perfect as I already had the paddles so this was a great value. Love this controller and would recommend to anyone.

    My husband loves his remote. We've purchased the elite series several times. The previous versions had issues over time, specifically with the joystick and L1 button. We will see how long this one lasts.
