    This is my 3rd Elite. You cant go back, its like adding that 2nd monitor. Adds so much to game play you for real struggle without it.

    Series 2 improves on Series 1 Elite

    The series 2 is an improvement for the most part. Paddles feel more comfortable to use and hand grips better. Love the 360 style thumb sticks Watch out for: The rubber pads on trigger locks. They might fall off and pinch you to let you know they're not there anymore. Eventually you don't notice it missing. The rubber grips vastly improved on by first controller but some times pop up from long term use. Just pop it back in and it should fix it. Get a warranty just in case :)

    I love this controller and the versatility of it. A little pricy but definitely worth the money once you get used to having the paddles on the back.

    It's awesome, but do yourself a favor & get some kind of extended warranty. Tends to wear out quickly. I've replaced a couple over the past 2 yrs.

    Paddles on the bottom make a huge difference, Not a $150 difference tho. Corporate America is out of control.
