    Definitely upgrade from older elite

    Got this due to 1st gen elite controller breaking again. Had few problems with the first gen and seems Xbox fixed most of those problems with this second gen. Seems like the paddles are smaller then first gen elite and and the third trigger stop seems like it turns the trigger into a button with the limited rage of motion, which is probably going to take some time to get used to. Favorite upgrade from the first gen to second has to be the analog resistance control. Thought the resistance function wouldn’t be used be definitely find it useful. Would definitely recommend as long as it holds up longer then the first gen elite controller.

    This controller comes stripped of the paddles and the charging station which is fine. I already have that from the previous elite and it was nice to save some money.

    Its fantastic when it works. but considering the release date of this product I'm on my 5th controller. I've tried a lot of others and none compare to this. I wish I had a more reliable option but I don't. RB went out 4 times and stick drift once.

    Much better than the previous version so far. The additional customization is amazing for hardcoare players, and the newly designed grips are much better as well. Very satisfied!

    I bought this to replace my last one which I dropped from head height onto a concrete floor. I now think my last one was faulty, because this one works much better - the buttons are smooth and the controls feel connected to my soul! If you play a lot of games on Xbox, get this - it's really worth it.
