    Great controller! Feels heavy and allows one to multifunction while playing. Went ahead and purchased the 2 year warranty for safety sake.

    at first was very happy to feel the quality that was put into this elite v2 for the first 5 months of use. but just like v1 i started to experience the same button issues. my right bumper button doesnt work sometimes when i press it normally, so i have to press hard or double press to get it work which isnt optimal in game.

    It’s a controller. An average person who just wants to play normal AAA games wouldn’t like it. The paddles get in the way, and the parts can be lost easily. The only good upgrade going from a normal controller to this, is that you don’t need batteries for this and it’s charge time is crazy. Don’t feel like you need this, this is just an expensive accessory that you might not even like.

    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.
