    This is my second Elite 2 since its launch and this one also has different issues from the first I had to exchange for quality issues with the triggers. This one has an RB that sometimes doesnt register or registers two inputs instantly. As well as an X button that has become spongy over time, Which has never happened before on any controller Ive had, Its not cheeto or dorito ingress. And multiple attempts at compressed air has yielded no improvements, I can only chalk this up to manufacture defects. As to the one this replaced, It had an LT that would get stuck on 0% depression until "Broken" through with unnatural force. As if some component within was brushing against the trigger housing. $200 for a premium product with magnitudes worse QC than the standard issue controllers. And this is just a repeat of the Elite 1. Microsoft outdoing its premium product quality flops yet again. At least the rubberized grips dont slough off after a few months like the first one did.

    Great controller! A little pricey but if you’re willing to splurge it’s a lot better than the normal controller.

    I didnt realize this was the all plastic one when I bought it, I thought it would have metal parts like my old one that lasted like 8 years. I dont use the wierd sticks or bottom buttons, so honestly I shouldve just saved some money and bought a basic controller.

    Not much difference between the first gen controller but has some very good upgrades, stick tension increase and decrease as well as better grips that doesn't peel off but never had this issue on my original 1st gen. This controller seems to have a better latency as well as a more aggressive trigger stops. Love this controller and feel this is the best on the market as of right now.

    The rubber grip will peel off eventually and if you drop this control a FEW times it will really feel it. There's nothing elite about this controller at all. Plastic casing, Weak rubber grips, and abs thumb sticks that fall off so easily.
