To me the Elite 2 isn't about being better at games but all about comfort. The surface of the controller feels soooo smooth and and i love the weight and love the shape although it could be larger in size.

You know what's messed up? I agree 100% which is why I got a custom colored one, and none of the premium parts here were used. The surface is plastic, flimsy and cheap, Xbox button is cheap and plastic like base controllers, bumpers are plastic and not chrome. Feels lighter, such a rip off. They certainly didn't market it that way, but the same cheap plastic feels from the base is exactly what a custom feels like

@@epicon6 so the plastic Xbox button or plastic inside the thumbsticks doesn't bother u even though you paid for the premium quality parts from this controller? I guess it's all preferences but I've never had this happen where you order the same product but it's made far cheaper. The smooth surface you like so much on this one is completely gone as well, sure it may wipe up easier but you can't debate that it's plastic and cheaper from the feel and look

Best advice and best use for the back paddles is to remove the curved paddles (unless you want to map them to something of course) and map left stick click and right stick click to the straight paddles. You can propably avoid stick drift happening if you do so, unless it does that out of the box but then the warranty takes care of you. have owned 2 elite v1 controllers and i have 2 Series 2 Elites. And i only got stick drift on my first V1 and after i got that replaced through warranty i mapped the clicks to the paddles and haven't had any drifting on any of my other elites in the 3000+ hours i've used them

This is gold and a really good advice, another thing that everybody can do and it can help with that RB/LT issue is change the contact paper protection inside of the controller for an aluminium paper one, because the ones with the controller are weak and cheap and literally didnt make contact. There is a video of a spanish youtuber doing it and is really really easy

even though i have had 6 of these over a span of 5 years, i would still buy another. this was the first premium controller i bought and when i tried other controllers they failed in comparison. for my game style , all other controllers felt cheap, light, and too sensitive. paddles on other controllers were to easily pressed making my grip awkward and causing me to inadvertently press them by accident, causing me to loose a lot pvp battles. im not the best pvp player so any and everything can affect my game play.

Best controller ever made. I have both the series 1 and 2. Got drift in the series 2, ordered a new one and eventually fixed the first one after watching some KZitem. The only thing i would complain about is the thumbsticks not being interchangeable between series 1 and 2, the back paddles are and actually prefer the series 1 paddles on the series 2 controller. Other than that, its the best controller to exist (yet).

If you play PC games that have a lot of key binds, you need reWASD app which allows you to map buttons to keyboard and mouse. You can also set buttons and/or paddles as shift buttons which gives you a whole new virtual controller. The combo of elite 2 and reWASD has increased the number of games I use controller over mouse and keyboard, although a good mouse is still better if you want to aim at anything.

PSA for anyone who wants to order a custom elite series 2 with a color, those custom ones are made with cheap low end parts and not the same premium parts the black elite series has. If you care about quality and build don't make the same mistake as me. Plastic shell that's light, plastic inside of thumbsticks, plastic flimsy Xbox button, it feels and holds like a knock off.
