    I had the original elite controller and I am very pleased with the elite 2 controller. Many more features to the elite 2 than was offered for the elite 1. Have the ability for 3 different controller presets at the touch of a button for different games you play or just variations of your favorite game controls

    I have the original Elite controller and it’s still working great except I wish the rubber grips were not peeling off. This new Elite controller is better in every way than the original. It has better rubber grips which look like they will never peel, hopefully. It has a built in battery and a charger built into the case. I also think the buttons feel better too. Hopefully it holds up over time. For now, I highly recommend it.

    I have used the controller several times now, but the weight is something I have to get used to. There is a bit of learning curve with the extra paddles on the back. The price was excellent, but to be fair, I did get it as an open box item.

    Holds up great, if taking care of. Best in my opinion for back paddles. I personally recommend the scuff paddles for this controler.

    I have tried other controllers and I keep coming back to the elite series. I just love the feel. What time does u s officials and the quality of build. I was lucky to catch it on sale. So it's a even better persistence when can get it out of discount and price.
