    2 weeks… no issues. Definitely didn’t need the case and paddles since I had the Gen 1.

    Best controller I've ever owned but left joystick started to experience drifting (although only slightly) after 6 months of use. Was still within warranty so Microsoft fixed it for free.

    The Elite series 2 is a great upgrade over its original model. It feels more tactile and comfortable to hold due to the increased amount of grip. The USB C port is also a great addition that it had over the original.

    The Series 2 is priced a little high. I absolutely love it tho. You can adjust tension on the joysticks, has 3 different profiles and 3 different quick fire settings. Oh, cant forget the rechargeable battery. Its a gaming must have.

    Love the paddles and the design. However, the controller disconnects from my Xbox randomly and the RB button often is jammed or hard to use which messes me up while playing competitive games. Other than that it’s a great controller…. Just maybe not worth the price for the issues.

    This is an awesome controller. Has great feel and weight to it. All the removable parts are magnetic so you can swap them out quickly but they stay in place while using it. Adjustable triggers are great for quicker response time.
