    I have a rare bone disease in my wrist and it constantly hurts... when I play xbox with the standard controller... OMG. I completely stopped playing xbox because after 15 minutes, I wanted to cut my wrist off. THIS controller is a LIFE saver... having the triggers underneath changed my world. The fact that you can swap certain pieces out is cool too. It is easy to map and connectivity has never been an issue. Before my wrist issues, I played with a standard controller and I actually play BETTER with this one... perhaps a coincidence but I LOVE this controller. I have been using the 1st generation and will continue to until it craps out... this one is a back up that I played with for a few weeks to make sure it worked.

    If you like tight sticks this controller is amazing it comes with tensioners but it still uses potentiometers so it is lacking in stick technology but they do feel great out of the box sometimes the Bluetooth can be a bit lacking and the bumper quality is a little lackluster but overall a great feeling controller especially if you like a heavy one.

    The GOAT

    The #1 thing I've learned over the past few years and dozens of controllers purchased is this: If you're serious about aiming in FPS games on Xbox (not PC/not my wheelhouse), you must buy 1st party Xbox controllers. Microsoft uses a custom algorithm that is only running when using their controllers. So using this knowledge that leaves 3 choices: Xbox Core, Xbox Elite 2 Core, and Xbox Elite 2. If you want back buttons, you have to go Elite. I can vouch that buying the latest lot number i could find of the Elite 2 Core gave me a controller that feels much more put together than an Elite 2 i got in 2020. It should last this time.

    Good control with Xbox and works seamlessly with pc. Feels a little clunky compared to the standard control but then again that is the trade off to have such customizable and swappable components.

    Really like all the new added features. New grips feel great controller as a whole feels fantastic. LT & RT Have new lil grip textures feel pretty good nice lil addition. The new thumb sticks are better than the old ones, but my only complaint though is it only comes with one tall thumb stick. Also wanna mention the tightening of the thumb sticks is really cool. Having 3 controller profiles for different games over the old 2 nice addition too. The carrying case with the ability to charge while in the case is very awesome it can also be charged outside case with a lil stand like thing (doesn’t need the lil stand) it can still charge and play like v1 even though not too happy with the battery being internal not removable on v2. Very nice to have such a long usb c wired cord too. Came with 14 day ultimate game pass (Minecraft Dungeons just came out on gamepass :) overall very satisfied with purchase!

    The Perfect Controller

    I can't even think of a single negative thing to say about this controller. It's basically perfect, feels great in the hand, and has loads of unique and features. I think the three things that really make this controller a "must have" for any gamer are 1) the adjustable inputs/stick tension. Medium and high bother feel fantastic. Normal controllers don't have enough stick tension for me. Setting the triggers to half just feels right. 2) the swappable sticks. The dome top and tall stick combo do actually make a difference for competitive shooters and 3) The paddle placement is perfect. Assuming this controller holds up for a while, and the QC is in shape, I'd highly recommend.

    This controller has been a literal game changer. I’m only disappointed I didn’t buy one sooner. You really notice how much better it is once you get it all set up and then switch back to the standard controller. My KD is way up since I changed to this controller. With FPS games thousandths of a second can be all the difference. This makes you faster and more precise and with the paddles you no longer have to take. Your fingers off other controls giving you the advantage.
