    [Employee of bestbuy] This does not come with paddles. You can get them for ablut $10 on amazon so its still prices better than the standard elite 2 if you sont need the charging case, extra thumbsticks etc

    The ability to adjust the joy stick tension and travel length for the trigger levers is a win win for me.

    Alright so for the price I say it’s pretty good. I actually got it at a slight discount so that’s a bigger win for me in my opinion. The controller is solid the extra stuff it comes with is awesome and the fact it’s rechargeable is perfect. I haven’t had any issues with it so far. I would recommend it!

    Amazing controller, perfect while it works and the best there is available. The warranty was extended from 45 days to 1 year from Microsoft. It’s a shame Microsoft used the potentiometers used in order Xbox, Nintendo and Xbox controllers that also have drift issues in these.

    Love the new colors. Same performance/feel as the original Elite 2 but with a little more style. Highly recommend but based on my experience, it’s best to have the TotalTech or geek squad plans to protect it.

    Love it!!! Have the series one, and was ready for an upgrade. I love the smaller back paddles as you can grip the controller better. My only complaint is that I enjoy using the domed thumb sticks and this only came with one not two like the first series. Ordered one from Amazon, when I get it this will be the perfect controller.

    Inalready had the original v2. Decided to buy another and was able to get it for cheaper without all the accessories which i already had. So this is a perfect buy for those who alreay have one and all the accessories.
