    I own the first one which is great. I bought the new and it is 10 times better. Tension control thumb sticks are awesome! Smaller paddles which is great cause I used to accidentally hit the bottom ones on the series one. Not sure why some people are saying the controller is slippery, cause I don’t have issues with that. Nothing negative to say about the controller at all

    Probably Best you can get on the market. However, it’s really heavy, and kind of slippery. And a touch too small for my hands.

    I like the customization of buttons and sensativity. My dislikes are far more though. The left stick creeps down so playing first person shooters my player is constantly moving back or im holding it in the “neutral” zone. I have constant issues with the battery. I can leave it charging over night. Unplug it, and it dies in 30 min or less. Mid game with no warning.

    The Elite Series 2 appears to have a better build quality than the Series 1 that I previously owned that the covering started to fall apart. I was also noticing gimbal drift that was very annoying. Fortunately I had purchased the Best Buy warranty. I used the purchase refund towards the Series 2 with the Best Buy warranty. So far I am very pleased with the performance.

    I absolutely love this controller until I was playing one of my games and I was turning right with the analog stick and as I was holding the analog stick right No other buttons worked so there might be a short :(

    As long as it keeps working, this is one of the best feeling controllers on the market. I really wish Microsoft would just redesign the internals and release a series 3.

    I have used both the standard Xbox One and the Xbox Elite controller and this V2 is a great modern option. It will also connect to the Xbox Series X. While the Elite had the rubber that would separate from the bottom plastic, this V2 has rubber that wraps around, with the only downside is that it leads to sweatier hands during gaming sessions.

    Great controller, use it almost everyday, the button mapping in it is very user friendly and very useful, and having 3 different setting for the mapping also helps alot.
