    The paddles are small but the rest of the controller is amazing. (Buy extra paddles Amazon)

    Improvement over the Series 1 Controller

    So far, this seems like MS took the shortfalls of the Series 1 controller and addressed each one. This fits my hand better, has more personalization, and is rechargeable. I am concerned that the battery is not replaceable, not only for longevity, but on those long gaming sessions. Time will tell if the battery will outlast my ability to game for extended hours. Bought the extended warranty just in case this has similar problems with the bumper buttons or joystick drift over time.

    The Second Generation Elite II is an upgrade to the first. I had my elite 1 for 4 years no problems. With the upgrades to the 2 regarding weight, quality, and pieces, I feel this one will be in for the long haul as well

    This controller is unbelievable, I've had it since launch and my Apex game has definitey improved because of it. Being able to adjust the tension on the analog sticks and change to a short tigger pull for semi-autos is amazing. I had the first Gen Elite Controller and the right bumper keep breaking, but the new one is flawless. I took out the bestbuy 2 year warranty since I was paranoid of 1st gen issues. You can't go wrong with this controller especially if you find it onsale.
