    Ive had it for about a month now and love it. I have a small collection of special edition controllers id switch between but now they’re purely for display. This Elite Series 2 feels super premium and is a solid controller. I play with only the bottom 2 paddles attached and map them for reload and weapon swapping in FPS games and hand brake or shifting in racing games. Trigger stops are awesome and i love the different D-pad and stick options.

    Best upgrade from the original Elite

    Compared to the original Elite controller this one is by far an amazing upgrade. Having the ability to adjust the tension on the thumbsticks is great for dialing in the accuracy for FPS games, the extra middle trigger stop is awesome if you're not wanting to go all the way to the short stop for other games as well, and the adjusted paddles on the back are much better without having to worry about accidentally hitting them while playing. The built in rechargeable battery is a step above the play and charge kit battery. I have definitely noticed a significant increase in play time before needing to charge it. If you're on the fence whether to keep your original Elite over this one then you're missing out. The Elite 2 is definitely worth the money for the upgrade.

    Feels good, but Bad Quality control and not worthy

    Overall, the controller felt good when sitting on the hands. The dome joystick and the adjustable tension makes it really comfortable to play games. But there are still some issues on the controller I received. I can hear something when I shake it; the dead zones of the joysticks are even larger than my regular one s controller; the top part along with the bumpers is a bit loose. I don't think paying almost $200 for a possible defective controller is a wise choice. Also, as a PC gamer, I don't feel the upgrade worth that much of penny that is 3-5 times more than a regular one s controller.

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I don’t know much about these things but he loves it. I tested it also and noticed the texture is like soft silicone plus the added weight from the steel material feels good in your hand. Easy to modify. Overall a great purchase !

    Not great quality. Buttons often stick and has bad stick drift. Returned two and am on my third. I personally do not like how heavy and cumbersome it is. However, the paddles are nice and the Xbox logo lights up.
