    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.

    I have been wanting to buy this item for awhile, but it kept on selling out. Now, I know why, this controller is the best ever and gives you the ability to play games in so many capacities. One of my favorite purchases ever!!!!

    Everything is is adjustable. Trigger throw, stick tension and height, and paddles if you want them. This controller has been the answer to every complaint I’ve ever had about controllers since thumbsticks were invented. Seriously though, the Elite Controller has been a welcome addition to my gaming rigs. Not only do I use it with my XBox One, but it connects instantly with my PC to play the games that are better played with a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard. As far as durability goes- that remains to be seen. No drifting issues yet…

    I love everything about this controller. It's a game changer. The custom options make playing FPS games a dream. My only gripe is that I didn't purchase one sooner. Highly recommend.
