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.

[@odawg5318]

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]

I don't see how they stop working like that. I have 2 elite 2 controllers and only think wrong with the first one is joystick wandering

[@odawg5318]

@@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.

[@exticclapz732]

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…

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

[@RenMatoi]

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

Elite 3 bro that's gonna be fire🔥

[@shrekmboyd71]

I don’t use either but like the design of 2

[@aKaGT]

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 :)

[@alecf8636]

I own both. I like the elite 2 better just because of the adjustable tension.

[@joshthomas852]

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

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.

[@DjRavix]

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)
