    Improved fit in hands and less effort to use. Big upgrade from the elite 1. Love the built in case charger as well. I ended up pulling some of the buttons off my elite one and using those just because I have worn them in just right.

    This is an incredibly well done accessory. It's intuitive, well thought out, and eminently premium. At $179, it costs a pretty penny, but even then it includes built in charging dock that's integrated into a travel case, so there's even more value then a stock controller.

    The tension adjustments on the thumb sticks is the best part about this controller. I’m coming from the original elite controller, so the paddles are nothing new. They have solved the rubber grip problem, but I’m my opinion, the way they did these grips causes them to be a little slippery. I haven’t had any connection or button issues that other review claim.

    So I was given a tracking number to track my package. Then I was told that it was at the corporate package office and I had to pick it up. And it was a hassle just to get it. I had my number on the information so it would have been nothing to contact me and ask for the rest of the information so I could get my package. Thanks for the headache.

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game.

    Best controller ever made

    Not exaggerating here when I said the Elite 2 controller is the best controller ever made. The build quality is excellent. As a former owner of an Elite 1 controller, my biggest problem was the grips coming apart due to the heat of my hands. They fixed this by making the grips part of the controller. So much better. If you're an Xbox gamer, buy this.

    This controller is pretty hard to use and it definitely isn’t for most people. If you have the money and feel like paddles would be best for you then I would definitely recommend. But, if you are more of a casual player I would say try looking for a cheaper controller.

    This is my favorite controller EVER. I have had 4 of them now and will never try another one. Attempted to use a scuf controller but didnt feel as substantial as the E2. I play a lot of games and they last 8-10 months usually playing 2-3 hours a day.

    To be honest, just get a scuf controller. Its a decent controller yeah, feels somewhat good. But i actually dont use any of the features. Removable d-pad and joysticks, i use the same ones everywhere and have no need to change to something uncomfortable. Im on PC as well so controller becomes more and more alien the further i am away from using one. Which is majority of gaming sessions
