Rediculously expensive but better than standard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is obscenely overpriced but it is much better than the standard controller.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Series 2 improves on Series 1 Elite
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The series 2 is an improvement for the most part. Paddles feel more comfortable to use and hand grips better. Love the 360 style thumb sticks Watch out for: The rubber pads on trigger locks. They might fall off and pinch you to let you know they're not there anymore. Eventually you don't notice it missing. The rubber grips vastly improved on by first controller but some times pop up from long term use. Just pop it back in and it should fix it. Get a warranty just in case :)

Great but but recommend a warranty.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine so far. No drift yet. I received a 01 model. So not the updated model. Still potential for issues.

Xbox series 2 Elite controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a controller. An average person who just wants to play normal AAA games wouldn’t like it. The paddles get in the way, and the parts can be lost easily. The only good upgrade going from a normal controller to this, is that you don’t need batteries for this and it’s charge time is crazy. Don’t feel like you need this, this is just an expensive accessory that you might not even like.
