    The texture grip is comfortable and the customization through the pc and xbox apps are where this controller really becomes pro. Paired with Scuff rear triggers this is great all around.

    No issues yet, much better construction than the original Elite controller. Paddles are way smaller and help hands rest more naturally on the controller. The tension adjustment is very nice and love the joy stick options. I’m sure just like anything else with a few years of regular use may see some issues, but so far perfect after a month of use.

    Bought this for myself as a bit of a splurge. After getting some paddles for it, I can’t go back to a normal controller - it’s that good. This is truly one of those moments where better hardware makes you a better gamer (I mostly play shooters and my stats went up a significant amount after getting this). The grips on it (the black part) are a nice rubber textured bit that is not at all uncomfortable. You may get sweaty hands after a while, but that happens whether you play on any controller or a mouse and keyboard. Stick tension I havent really messed with (i like the sticks loose). Keep in mind too that the sticks are very sensitive out of the box, so maybe adjust that in the accessories software on your xbox. Great product, love it tons.

    This is simply the best controller out there, period. I upgraded from the previous Elite controller and its worth the price to upgrade. My favorite feature is the adjustable triggers. For some games you want a shorter, quicker trigger and you can easily change it on the fly with the preset stops. The previous model required you to go and map start and stop points, now its automatic.

    This controller is a MUST buy. If you are a FPS gamer this will change your game play. It will take awhile getting used to the paddles but well worth it. I recommend starting of off with one paddle first to train your muscle memory. DO not attempt to use all four to start or it will just mess you up more than it helps when you practice with it

    The series 2 is more ergonomic then its predecessor. The paddles are a little smaller making it much less likely to accidentally hit a button while setting the controller down, the rechargeable battery has great life, 3 settings for trigger pull for more control and also the joystick tension is adjustable. Buttons can be remapped to suit what u want to do. All in all.. Great controller.

    I own the original elite series controller and this series 2 by far is the best Xbox controller yet. Built in battery so you can charge via charging dock via USB C and it has new customization on the triggers and the response time is excellent. It also has new grips on it and before the previous version used to peel after some time. If you are a true hardcore gamer I strongly recommend.

    I think this controller is a step in the right direction for Xbox, because this controller here feels and handles more like an elite controller. The movements are flawless and effortless, plus the battery last longer and you charge the controller by putting it back in its case! It also shows the battery balance that let you know it's time to recharge!

    It fills so smoothly, heavy and solid, it’s really different experience. Even if you don’t you down pads you need to have one, sticks moving so smooth and accurate. I love it, perfect. I dont have too much time for gaming, but it still great.

    I game everyday for a long time and the controller has always gave me the best performance! I was really iffy about buying this one because the series 1 did not last and was messing up all the time. I got this with the 2 year protection and was happy with the feel and durability of the controller. recommend the protection because you never know when these things can go bad!
