    Big improvement over the series one as far as functionality. The hair trigger is much better the fact you can tighten the joy sticks to your liking is a added plus gives you better feed back. To me it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the series one though. The bumper buttons seem a little weaker. But the control feels slimmer which again in my opinion is better. Still think it is over priced but still a great controller if you want to spend the money

    I love this controller. Weight is a little heavy and grip texture is perfect for those sweaty games. Downside is after 6 month to a year you will notice the right bumper having intermittent failure as well as stick drift in right thumb stick. I recommend warranty because it is a common defect that happens in almost all Elite 2 controllers.

    The controller feels amazing in your hands and functions well. The extra buttons come in handy for multiple games and shortening the trigger is great too for shooters. The big problem is the life span of the controller I’ve had several of them and they all break. The bumpers are usually the first to go.

    I bought this for my husband and he seems to enjoy much more than his regular Xbox controller. The price is a little to high imo but great none the less.
