    It's a great controller, I had a used Series 1 originally that I bought from a friend. It had been used to the point the plastic grips were tearing off so I decided to upgrade. It's been a great controller and the case/charger is awesome for taking it to a friends place. I'm not entirely sure if it's the controller or my Pc, but I can't connect it wirelessly. However, I can play while it's plugged in. A little expensive for a controller, but I guess it beats buying a bunch of cheap ones.

    The blue looks nice and clean. Even the home X button is a blue X on white background. That combined with some of the black attachments make this controller look really good.

    This controller is a BIG improvement over the first gen Elite Controller!! The buttons are more heavy duty and it just feels better in the hands. I've owned quite a few Elite Series Controllers and have had to replace every one on a regular basis. Either the plug would go bad and the controller wouldnt charge, or the buttons underneath would quickly get nullified and didnt click like a button should. Ghosting was a big issue on the Elite Controller as well. The Elite Series 2 Controller has real button actuation and the ghosting is negligible. Those buttons underneath the controller are so much better than before and the cord input is also a big Improvement. I would recommend this controller over any other modded controller out. I actually have 2 of these controllers, one of which I have had for going on 3 months or so how and everything still works as it should.

    I had the elite v1 for a little over a year before moving to the v2. Overall, the v2 is a much higher quality controller than the v1 with only one downside when compared to the v1. The v1 used a membrane style for its button mechanisms in both the joysticks and the paddles, however the v2 uses more of a clicky button style mechanism. In the v1 the signal pulses consistently, however, in the v2, sometimes the signal stops pulsing which requires me to then reset the button by pressing it again, this behavior never happened to me when i uses the v1. That said, the membrane style in the v1 controller wore out very quickly. The v2 mechanism still feels brand new even though I’ve been playing with it daily since it was released. Finally, if i had to choose between the v1 and v2, given my post above i would still pick the v2 because of the build quality and durability.

    The controller is built much better than a standard xbox controller. The sticks are also a huge improvement over the standard controllers.
