    It’s exactly what you expect it to be. Doesn’t come with everything, but it’s not supposed to. This is more of a replacement for when your normal pro 2 controller dies but don’t want to pay extra for the extra parts.

    Item works well, only wish it included the pads. It's something not clearly called out on the description.

    Great controller. I always use the elites, you just have to buy the warranty cause if you play a decent amount the controller does break easily

    I love the feel of this controller, but unfortunately the A button sticks pretty bad. I looked up to see if this was a common issue and it seems to be that way. If they could fix this issue, it woukd he the best controller on tbe market.

    Best controller I’ve ever held. Size is perfect. Paddles are useful in every game. Only issue I have is sometimes clicking in on the thumb sticks causes the controller to shut off. Only way to reconnect is to put it on the charger, then take it off and reconnect. Sucks when it happens in multiplayer. To fix this I put melee on one of the paddles.

    This thing is a game changer. Having the back paddles for traditional button actions makes the controller competitive. You have the ability to never lift your thumbs off the joysticks. Increases reaction times for all mechanics of your gameplay. Solid build. Long battery life. Full access to detailed settings. You’ll find yourself building complex profiles for each game with this controller. Does so much more than just control your game.

    I’ve used a lot of different controllers. The elite 1 was great, but the elite 2 is definitely better. The different analog sticks are very convenient and comfortable. Grips nice on the controller. The in game settings that you can adjust are phenomenal and helped tremendously in games.

    This new controller was just the thing that I needed to make some of my games easier to play. The paddles on the back are customizable so you can determine what they do and to have so many configurations you can set makes switching games easu
