    This controller is way better than the first version. The case that it comes with has a portable charger and a built-in battery in the controller that last for a very long time very convenient very good.

    This controller is simply the best controller I've ever used period. The build quality is excellent and it feels amazing in my hands. You can customize to many features on the controller and get it to your liking/comfort. 10/10 recommend

    I was reluctant to buy the Elite 2, after reading many bad reviews of it, but I went ahead and ordered one as I love my xbox original elite 1. Been using it for almost a month and it works great. Will write more after six month.

    I think these are a great alternative to the Elite Pro. If you're just looking for a nice rechargeable controller with the ability to upgrade what you choose. Still, the Pro has all the bells and whistles and that nice case! I doubt you'll be disappointed with either/or.

    The elite 2 is an incredible controller, probably the best you can buy! It’s is leaps and bounds better in every aspect that’s the first elite controller. Once you use and elite 2 controller you won’t want anything else.

    My favorite feature os the 30hr battery and the build quality. Seems like such a better deal than Sony’s 200 dollar contraller that dies after 2 hrs.

    If you want to be in the game, then the elite series 2 controller is for you. I did have the black one and the rubber is coming off it. I had it for 3 years with moderate game play. So, I picked up the blue one for a very reasonable price. Once you go elite, I doubt if you ever go back to other controllers. If you can, get one and get it on sale.

    Great controller. The colors are way better when holding it in hand. The top buttons and triggers are a very nice metallic shade of red. If you don't like the new d-pad, you can switch it out cheaply and easily with traditional cross-type ones since the d-pad and analog joysticks are magnetically attached.

    Much better hand feel than the standard controller. Easily customized with provided additional knobs. Still trying to get used to the paddles on back, as standard controllers do not include them.
