The Elite 2 is an Awesome Controller, and definitely something that I'd go to for gaming. It has given me the best gaming experience ever. But there's a MAJOR catch that I don't see a lot of people point out. That catch is the duration the Controller lasts without issues. I've owned 3 Elite 2 controllers (1 I haven't opened yet) and after about 3 months there was always an issue with the Bumpers. Soon they become unresponsive. They just don't make things last long anymore smh. So definitely think long and hard before spending your money on this controller.
@@ronstewart4792 It's definitely weird and annoying. I eventually opened that other Elite Series 2 controller and after about 5 months, my right bumper is becoming unresponsive. Hopefully the newer models they made of the Elite Series controllers fixed this issue because I really enjoy this controller.
Finally someone points it out without saying all the pro’s and zero cons… The controller felt so great when I got it, was comfortable to hold and everything… I tested it out and it had massive stick drift and the XYBA buttons were sometimes not responsive… I didn’t care that much about the stick drift considering most games have a deadzone option… But the XYBA buttons not responding right forced me into using my paddles for some games I hadn’t tried them out for yet… Ntm later on 2 of the paddles later on stop registering same for the bumpers… Then the grip started falling off… If the controllers were durable and consistent this controller would be the greatest controller I have ever used…
My elite 2 had stick drift issues after only 3 months and I made sure to take extra care of it. When I had an elite 1 it lasted for about a year so I prefer the first model over the second.
Just got an Elite 1 on Marketplace for 60 bucks. I love it! Feels premium, and the functions that I initially dismissed like the trigger stops ended up being some of my favorite things. I read that the Elite 2 has 3 settings on the trigger stops, and some more customizable options, but aside from that, and having the built in battery, is essentially the same thing. Pretty sure you couldn't go wrong with either option, but the elite 1 is my go to now.
Tips for not getting stick drift. Remap the spring action that way it never gets clicked' and try to be easy on the sticks dont push forcefully on them I noticed players who are rough with their elite get drift almost immediately
Or while playing, according to Microsoft doing so doesn’t hurt the battery even if the battery is full. Comes with quite a long cable so it’s likely gonna reach from your Xbox.
I would like the Elite 1 or 2. The reason why is because I have an Xbox series X controller that works perfectly fine but I think all the attachments would nice to have and also I could really use the case for it considering it has cable space and slots for all the accessories. Also it has back paddles which you could buy but it’s better when it’s with the controller. Not only that but it even has a micro charging port on the Elite 2 which is super handy! Anyways that’s just my opinion :)
Bro that wasn't your money on that shi it sucks dude but a razer wolverine if you want a decent model that's not too expensive get the V2 chroma but for $20 more get the v3 tournament (best option is v3 tournament) if you are rich get the v3 ultimate
Well I've had my elite one since 2016 and it still works has some deep scratches from my cat and I've dropped it quite a few times and works great to this day.i had a series 2 sold it to a friend and now have a core since release and other than out of the box stick drift it works fine

u left out the tension rod (idk if the elite 1 has it), the benefit of not having a replaceable battery means you don't need to take time to change it or charge it. Not to mention you can charge it while its being protected. Don't forget the most important thing, changing the color on the xbox button
Had the 1 at launch, upgraded to the 2, the 2 is 100% better to me. Built in rechargeable battery, usb-c, stick tension, feels better overall too me too
I have to agree … the biggest issue I have with the elite 2 is that the battery is not user replaceable (or at least not as easy as on the first model) They should have made the Charing doc so that you could still replace the battery as with the old version This would also provide the option to put AA batteries the controller giving the end user an alternative option to power the controller and last beyond the existence of battery packs for it (good luck getting those official packs for 360 controllers nowadays)
Being perfectly honest I never thought I would need an elite. But then I went to a discount shop and found one in great condition for 59$. Comes with everything and the only issue is that the left rumbler is a bit weaker than the right. So I adjusted the levels in software and now I'm happy
The elite 1. Got it a year after it was first released and damn was it a change. Tbh if you find the right products you can make a elite 1 controller like a elite 2 controller. For example, changing the shell for rubber grip and adding a wireless charger pack. If I could, I would have liked the controller to have a ctype port on the elite 1 but I can mod that in later
The internal battery on the elite 2 is better than removable batteries as it last 48 hours meaning if it deteriorates an hour a year it would take 24 years for it to only last one whole day of nonstop gaming
2 hands down for 5 reason I love the new grip, appreciate the extra profile, I like that it's rechargeable, the charging station is a nice touch, and I have the halo infinite edition. Oh ps. The thumbsticks are more adjustable.
The one reason I wouldn’t use the elite one (haven’t used either) is because it looks like it has the gen 1 controller bumpers wich felt finicky and loose whilst the gen 2 has more stable bumpers
The elite 2 you can connect the charging cord into the battery and it will still charge overnight if you plug the cord into the Xbox so your controller will basically like never die again if you just set it on the battery every night
I’ve used a bunch of controllers, my favorite is the Razer chroma Wolverine,”specifically the white” and my least favorite is the fusion pro 2,”it’s worst than some of the cheap afterglows that I have had to use
When my mom said she was getting me a new controller for Christmas last year, she didn't tell it was gonna be an elite series 2. I was so shocked and she just looked confused.
Elite 2 is better for the little details like the 3rd setting on the hair trigger and the tightness of the sticks but I still prefer the series 1 for the batteries
He said it sucked cause you couldn’t replace it. I prefer rechargeable batteries but having the ability to replace it just in case is still nice to have
I’d buy elite one because I have rechargeable batteries which is less money and it’s easier to change the batteries and seems overall better in MY opinion
Elite 1 doesn't support Bluetooth which could be a deal breaker for those hoping to use with PC out of the box. The removable battery keeps it future proof though
The Elite 2 is Basacially a Bigger Brother, with the Adjustable Joystick things, so I prefer that

Elite to the battery lasts all day and as long as you put it away in the case you don't have to worry about it being dead in the morning

Elite one is more practical but I would definitely go with the elite to because it a type c
