XBOX ELITE Series 2 Controller | Honest Review

The XBOX ELITE V2 is definitely the best among it's competition. The compatibility and feature set for this build are literally pushing the envelope for all the other custom controller companies and I can't wait to see what the future hold for The Xbox Series 2.

DAMN NOTI GANG! You guys fast AF! On a serious note anybody out there having issues with the thumbsticks after some long term use? Possibly getting loose or having a deadzone in the middle on certain thumbstick tensions? Let us know! Stay Awesome everyone...much more to come!

People act like the built-in battery is such a good thing when it really just means that the wireless functionality of your controller has a finite lifespan and that after a while your battery life will begin to deteriorate. A swappable rechargeable battery pack would have been better.

[@shboomz7117]

I own the elite v1 and for a long time I used the collective minds paddles modpack on a regular controller and found the mapping buttons extremely useful. In the future, I personally think that the next version of the elite controller should have some kind of quickmapping button as well as adjustable paddles like almost a bending wire that can adjust your comfort if you have large hands. I think the shift button is genius but the newer playstation controllers will always have that touchpad.

[@WhoaLetsGetPeas]

The life span of mine was pretty short. I had 2 elite 1s that broke pretty quick (i.e the bumpers simply fell out over time and the padding/gripping came off) and then I decided to get the elite 2. I loved it while it lasted. The two top paddle buttons on the back of the controller are now unresponsive and so is the left bumper. Maybe I got unlucky. I low key want another one cuz it truly was one of the best feeling controllers I've ever felt in my hands and it's got such a nice weight to it. I wish I could remember how long it lasted but it didnt feel long😥

@@iireflexii7756 what does the control feel like on warframe? I’ve been considering getting a elite 1 and my main thing is how the controls are on warframe with the elite.

[@iireflexii7756]

@@fallenfuzzyxx honestly.. the elite controller is the perfect one for warframe, I have my back paddles mapped for ABXY so my thump never leaves the thumb sticks which allows me to move about with ease, I tried with a new standard controller a couple days ago and it just didn’t have the same feeling as the elite, u can grab a series 1 quite cheap now, definitely worth it! :) my elite controller is starting to show its age tho but for years n years of perfect service I’m not really fussed, it’s never broken or had stick drift or anything best £160 I ever spent lol

[@fallenfuzzyxx]

@@iireflexii7756 that’s awesome honestly, it be nice to not have to move my finisher to an uncomfortable position just to do good melee. Any recommendations of where to look to buy one for cheap?

MTNDEW Salamander do you know what the paddles do on the back?

[@Hellspwn6]

@@contentforyou4261 You can set them to act as any buttons on the controller. Saves time with jumping or reloading in shooters for example. I have one set up that lets me use a paddle to sprint and jump in dark souls.

I've always had issues with stick drift with any xbox control within the 1st year and just gets worse as time goes on Q. Does this controller get stick drift easy, or does that tension feature help sort stick drift?

[@wkgates]

Sex sells lol

[@Matt-yt9rf]

I love how this controller feels, especially how I’m able to fine tune the triggers and adjust the tension of the sticks. That being said, within a week of having it my B button started sticking. Not a huge deal since I could just map the B button to one of the back paddles. A couple weeks after that the left stick stopped responding when I went to click it. I play a lot of call of duty and everytime I went to sprint I would have to repeatedly click the left stick down until it responded properly. It got me killed many times and I just decided to go back to a regular controller. Kinda sucky.

[@JohnWickstairs]

I’ve been a PlayStation and nintendo owner for many years but this generation I got an Xbox series x and I absolutely love it. I think it’s great to have so many options and each console has their pros and cons. I can’t wait to get the elite controller because it absolutely is the most comfortable controller I’ve felt for sure. Used to be out on display at a Best Buy.

[@curtis1103]

I love the paddles on the elite series 2 Microsoft nailed them. but the elite series1 paddles were so biggggg. I love the thumb stick tension for shooter games

[@jasonhunt2909]

This is one of the things I am jealous of as a PS4 owner. My Astro C40 is okay, but I have had to swap out analog sticks (Battle Beaver) to get more tension. I’ve had stick drift issues, running issues, etc.

[@foggy2982]

Jason Hunt I play ps4 as well, but as ps5 will come this year and is going to be expensive. I thought buying a pc isn’t a bad idea. Won’t cost much more, no ps plus and you can use whatever controller you want. Think about switching to pc as well (think about what your friends will be playing on tho) (I have Nacon Revolution Pro 2 controller wich still performs perfectly after a year. My friend only had mic issues with it after 2 years)

[@jasonhunt2909]

@Snudion Hey! I'm glad you have had no issues with your C40. I had to return my base module once and they sent me out new analog sticks twice so far. I ended up just ordering Battle Beaver replacements. The BB ones have more stick tension also, which I think is a must for the C40. So far, the BB replacements have held up for a few months. I love the C40 too (when it works). I have had to increase my analog stick sensitivity for my character to continue to run in Blackout. I'm hoping the PS5 controller has back buttons and this would solve many aftermarket controller issues.

[@Patrick73787]

Which level of tension did you pick at Battle Beaver? Stock, Increased or Extreme? Does it handle well?

[@jasonhunt2909]

Patrick D. One of each.

Switch from a DualShock 4 to a Xbox elite v2 and was in love since the first time I played with it. I’ve had it for about a year and use it daily 2-4 hrs a day and I haven’t had problems with it

Do the changeable sticks fall off easily or no?

[@mrhappytroll]

Not a console gamer anymore, but it is astonishing how far controller technology has come in the last 10 years, like everything. I started with the scuf hybrid back in 2013 (if anyone knows what that is), didn't even have half of everything mentioned in this vid.

[@ryanstreeval4935]

Yea that's 100% true what you said about life span being a problematic subject for the elite controllers I've had 3 so far and it's taken almost 600$ to learn my lesson about buying custom builds! This tech looks fantastic though I imagine with all the effort they put in they addressed the longevity of the parts used particularly the life of the substrate boards and sensor circuits for the paddles and sticks ! Those have been my two areas of issue with all 3 controllers I've owned Very excited to upgrade to the v2 as soon as I can find it in stock 😂
