I showed this video to my mom and now i have my own xbox elite series 2 controller😊

[@hoytdotblohm]

I have that V in the background, nice, and thank you for your content

[@cody3335]

Yeah the aiming precision and tension control helps so much due to the standard controller being stiff

[@gabecollins5585]

And the paddles

[@KindOldRaven]

Appreciate the guitar collection.

[@zehvio]

I have this problem where my controller randomly disconnected mid game. Then when I powered it back on. The home button had a blue light instead of the normal white color, now it's not powering back on and even if I plug in a charger the low battery light keeps blinking orange

[@Kevinb1821]

I didn’t know what I wanted for Christmas so I was like what the heck. I’ll ask for an elite controller this Christmas. So far I like it. I like the premium feel of it. Even the thumb sticks have a nice weight to them.

[@thisthewayilive05]

Exact same thing happened to me lol didn’t know what I wanted so I just got an elite controller. Worth every penny.

[@billjamal4764]

Is it the same size as the series x standard controller?

Glad you like them!

[@reignjuste]

How many months this will last six months? Then broke into pieces?

[@udieunit]

Imo I think all controllers should include back paddles now this would allow games to make use of much more buttons than normally available

[@LonghornsLegend]

Elite controllers have to have some functions a regular controller can't do or else what good are premium controllers? It's also not supposed to make devs want to use more buttons because if you did then you can't map face buttons anymore since they would have a function already

[@udieunit]

@@LonghornsLegend Having the option to make it become an extra button would be nice or even just putting buttons on the back grip where you hold the controller. This would open up much more possibilities in game like a dedicated lean button, etc, etc

[@LonghornsLegend]

@@udieunit but we do have that option already lol it's in this controller you can literally do all of that. Your asking for a controller to come default with paddles that already have buttons designed for them. If they did that it completely takes away any customization to map buttons as we choose which is one of the best perks. Each owner decides where they want the buttons to be so if I want reload and run on a back paddle I can do that. If they are already buttons you can't.

[@udieunit]

@@LonghornsLegend I’m talking about brand new functionality to the buttons my dude it would open up way more possibility for games

[@LonghornsLegend]

@@udieunit ok. But that's just not very logical asking a game console to implement 4 completely new buttons. And then ask Sony to do it so the games make sense for them. And then scrap all your old controllers lol I'm just saying be realistic

[@seadx6]

Is it possible to use the elite controller 2's profile change button as the series X|S share button?

[@ironranger1087]

No

[@MetallicaKing48]

I have the series 1 elite controller already, it’s tight. And with a few various XBox One controllers and the 20th anniversary controller, I’m already booked up on controllers. The elite controller is cool for the use of trigger paddles, which is useful for intense online matches for games like Doom: Ëternal and Halo: Infinite. But not necessarily useful for casual or arcade games. It is what it is.

I love that Halo Xbox Elite Series 2

[@dumpnutz756]

Hot take here. Internal batteries suck. Rechargeable AA's are cheap, long lasting, and give the ability to swap to fresh batteries in a few seconds when the batteries die

[@732ajay]

I need that halo controller

[@BenelopeAlmendra]

I have one question can u set the back trigger to an individual button independent of xaby like to trigger the next radio station on forza without it being related to a said letter?

@@BenRowlands yes it is man ur right I never even took out box yet how much I love it 😂

[@chrisiscool575]

I have this very controller, and I have 2 major issues. The A button does not always register an input, it has like a 66% input detection, and the left analog stick will not press down (L3) if the stick is pointed at 10 or 11 o'clock. Makes it insufferable when playing Halo in multiplayer.

[@ChadsYTLife_]

How do you screenshot? 😭😭 Got the black one yesterday and just found out I can't!!! How?!???!

[@makiOSC]

@@ChadsYTLife_ go to the panel menu and take a screenshot there, the share button youre used to is a mapping profile button on the elite.

They're great but people should wait until the Series 3, if they're going to be a thing.

Has it been announced?

[@Porklion]

@@aaronkoenders4810 not to be a dick but if you're wallet cant survive a $300 expense you should probably be focused on doing something other than playing video games.

[@Soundtracks92]

My regular Series X controller keeps randomly shutting off on me even though the batteries are completely charged. It’s especially infuriating during multiplayer

[@biromate2237]

That happened to me a few months ago too. Try updating the firmware of the controller

[@harvmaloy3847]

With my brand new elite 2 if you push down on the right thumb stick it turns the controller off. Maybe yours is doing something similar, try testing it out turn on the controller and press down on the sticks move them around and press them down n see what happens. It could be the same problem for you. Either way I just made a warranty claim for mine and will send it back Monday to be replaced, but for now I understand just mapped r3 to the r1 paddle, and l3 to the l1 paddle n it works so long as I remember to not push down on the right stick lol.

[@javedkeen35]

hope for discount. and restocks

[@downfieldhawk2914]

Wait you weren’t meant to take the felt off of the charger? crap

[@slurpdeedeedee]

The better question is "Can you buy it?" (talking about the halo one)

[@WAncouvOR]

ya fr, ebay scalpers are selling ofr like 300-400$. Insane.

[@lorddoma6637]

No

[@vaguedreams]

Number One, carry case protects controller, therfor you will be a better gamer. You can DIY this by creating a mold for your controller out of play doh, add titanium cloth and a zipper to the original box and having a full time butler who's job it is to move the controller from the box to your hands. 😛

[@mrblack576]

Amazing features but no good build quality they go left and right broken

[@scramblerbricks7293]

Bet you $200 they didn't fix the drift issue.

[@l0rdmoneky538]

I like it heavier

[@LaMartyMar]

Honestly I don’t know why ppl map the reload and switch weapon buttons to the paddles on the back. You can’t shoot when switching weapons or reload while shooting so you can take your hand off the controller for a little bit

[@imsogrimX]

But you might need to change direction and get in a different position. Every bit counts at the high end

[@seanpair1382]

Stopping by to say no do not buy one. Stick dirft issues after 8 months. Owned a scuff previously and it lasted 5 years before developing stick drift. I'll be buying another scuff!

[@TechNerdGamerDad]

Sorry dude but a built it battery is the weakest point of any controller. Eventually the battery degrades and you can’t replace it. Rather than swapping batteries for an over priced controller

[@focuspocus9774]

Lmao after xbot fanbois said the ps5 controller 60 being too expensive lmao look at xbox controllers lol
