    This is the king of controllers truly. I was an elite 1 owner and this is an upgrade for sure. The tension adjustment and trigger locks are my favorite new features. I picked these up because it was mentioned that they would be next gen compatible.

    This is the first time I have bought an elite controller and I love it. It does take some getting used to the back paddles but I would say it is worth it for games.

    It was an amazing controller until the right analog stick stopped being responsive. Upon research trying to resolve the issues I realized it was a known problem with the right analog stick becoming unresponsive after attempting troubleshooting nothing worked so I had to return the controller as defective.

    WAY BETTER than the original

    Improves on the original! In this model, the case is textured unlike the previous model which had glued on rubber grips. Better in every way, only questionable downgrade is the paddles are smaller than the Elite controller 1.

    Got this for my son. He has the series 1 and said that there have been some improvements to it in this version. Something about the share button and the trigger having three depth settings so you can use it at a faster rate.

    I like this controller but it was too heavy for me. After years of using a Scuf with no rumbler packs, I did not like the weight. Too bad because I was looking forward to using this controller more.
