    The only thing bad about this controller is that it spoils you to where you won’t want to use anything else.

    I thought it would be the same as the standard elite controller, however it is made way cheaper. There are no metal peices unlike the more expensive elite controller. I would recommend to buy the more expensive elite controller. The money savings isnt worth it

    My previous elite controller broke and I didn’t want to buy a whole other elite controller for $180+. This was a good purchase because I already have the paddles and thumb sticks from my previous controller and this one was much cheaper.

    Upgrade and downgrade from the original Elite

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ive been using the elite since nearly its release. I was a huge fan of the original for reasons such as the weight, the grip, the feel, the customization options and durability. The 2 main issues I have with it is the backside grips peeling and not able to re glue or re attach due to shape change after peeling, and the usb charging slot being finicky, as most usb charging ports lose its durability and develop issues overtime. I went through 3 controllers abiut eveey 2 years due to those 2 issues continually developing. This newer edition, Elite 2, has some amazing upgrades I'm quite attracted to. One being the type C charging port upgrade, as they seem much more durable and also faster charging. Having a non replaceable internal battery seems sketchy to me like it will lose ability to charge over a long time like other batteries like it, but for me i replace it every 2 years anyways, so its an upgrade for my personal use. The grips dont feel as comfortable to me, they seem to feel sticky even though its clean and my hands are clean. Just not that comfortable but ive gotten used to it. Doesnt seem like they will peel as easy as the 1st Elite version but time will tell. Its lighter in weight and a little smaller in size which going back and fourth between the 2, i prefer the heavier weight to it and larger size but im sure thats going to be a preference per each user. The ability to tighten the resistance of the joysticks is great for more precision use. The paddles are smaller, but ive grown to like that aspect. You can use the original Elite paddles on the Elite 2 version, they do fit, if you like larger paddles, but going back and fourth, the smaller paddles feel better now. An added position for trigger locking is a good upgrade instead of just the 1 position the original offered. Already been useful to me. The rest os really the same. Same mapping options, different size joysticks that fit your style, the globe and cross D pad options of course. The case is nice with the charging pad inside just plug the charging cord through the back into the device, helps keep controller dust free while not in use charging but you can charge while playing as well. I had fun customizing the color of the main power button. There are also more save settings for your custom mapping layout, 4 total i believe but I only need 2 myself anyway, typically LB and RB mapped to the rear paddles so I dont need to loft my fingers off the triggers at all. Overall, I think its the best option, even from off brand manufacturers that charge even more for less options it seems. Be sure to get GS warranty for 50 bucks or whatever it is, replace it after couple years because its not cheap, but worth the investment if you game and want more of a competitive edge, or just max comfort while playing. Took away a star due to the rubber grip that just doesnt feel as good as it could have.

    Cannot remap triggers on PC

    The controller itself is first class. I purchased it thinking that I could remap the triggers to be any keystroke that I wanted on the PC. Indeed, it is possible to do this, but you must purchase third party software at an additional cost to do it. The Xbox Accessories App only lets you remap the triggers to a button already present on the physical controller. I think this is a big oversight.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. Unfortunately, when connected to a Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth, the Xbox Accessories App cannot detect the controller and won't allow for remapping. To get around this, we recommend using a wired USB-C cable or investing in a Xbox Wireless Adapter. For more information, please go here: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/xbox-accessories-elite-series-2

      Hope that helps,
