    Overall great high end controller, just be sure to be up to date on the warranty so you can send it in to have the wear and tear fixed. Stick starts to drift after a couple months of heave use which is expected, paddles start to stick, just make sure you send it before the warranty ends.

    The controller is working excellent and the paddles are a welcomed addition. The in-case charging is nice so I can keep it safe. Only issue is that if you drop the controller any of the changeable parts will potentially fly off into wonderland!

    This is my first elite controller and I love it specially because you don’t need batteries, it feels so good in your hands and it’s very responsive I was kinda skittish because I’m so used to playing with kontrol freaks but with this controller you don’t need them, I got this controller while on sale I paid 139 for it and it was worth every penny

    Love the feel of this over the basic controller. The level of customization is amazing and can be applied to any play style. The latest update did cause some issues playing on an Ipad but it works well enough.

    The controller has felt great and worked flawlessly on PC and Xbox. only thing i recommend is to switch out the back paddles from scuf as they feel wider and give the paddles a better feel. (they are compatible BTW)

    I had the original Elite Series 2 controller so I didn’t need the extra accessories for this controller. The white on black color scheme looks so dope. The cheaper price is also a plus if you don’t mind not having the paddles and thin sticks! Great controller!

    Better in most ways, but some trade offs…

    The elite series 2 is better in many ways than the Series 1, but does have some trade offs. You can read about the updates on the Msft website. So I just tell you what the negatives over the series one are. First the battery isn’t replaceable, so ones it’s capacity starts to go down, you’re out of luck. The other difference I’ve found is the textured grips are definitely not as sticky as the series one. Sure the texture looks and feels the same, this feels more like textured plastic than textured rubber. It’s more noticeable the longer you use it.

    I was pleased with the first generation Controller. The improvements to the trigger locks are fantastic. The control sticks seem more responsive and have adjustable tensioners. I haven’t figured out the shift function in the app yet, but from a cursory inspection it appears there is a greater degree of customization options with the buttons. The docking station is the greatest improve,ent, no more breaking the USB input.
