    Had this less than a month the left joystick is already loose meaning you have to screw it tight when you are playing a game. I play sport games it’s annoying when the knob spins when it supposed to stay still. Just bad quality for what they say is an elite. Save up and get something else.

    I got the Series 2 on Oct. 6, 2020 and had plenty of the first versions. - Double tapping the sync button doesn't turn off the paddle buttons anymore like the first version did. - The profile/configuration button also does Default. So there is ACTUALLY 4 layouts not 3. "In my opinion it should go Default when double tapping the sync button." - The top paddles are way smaller and feel closer to the bottom paddles making it easy to mis-press. + The grip feels stronger with the texture on the triggers. + The third trigger lock makes it easier to get a good fire rate quick with a pistol. + Adjusting thumbsticks' tension with a tool was a brilliant idea to add. But the Xbox Accessories App is the REAL IMPORTANT thing for me, not the controller itself. I'd suggest to look up information about using the controller with the app to see if you'd like it or not.

    Have been through about 3 or 4 of them. Each of them having their own issues. From not correctly connecting to the xbox, to a button that would only responded once in a while when pressed. Microsoft definitely could have ironed out all these kinks after the first generation one.
