Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2

The official XBOX Elite controller Series 2 is a high-quality, top-tier controller. Aimed at the hardcore gamer, it actually is also very handy solution for gamers (such as myself) with limited hand mobility or other hand issues, thanks to its back paddles. The controller is heavier than the default XBOX controllers and has a more sturdy construction including metal back plate and triggers and special rubber grips. Unlike the standard controller it is supplied with the controller itself, a built-in battery and charging dock, a lovely solid hard transport case, four metal back paddles, six stick options , and thumbstick adjustment tool, two D-pad options and a USB-C charging cable. The sticks, paddles and D-pad are attached magnetically and are simple to swap out. The sticks offer a choice of lengths and grip textures. Please note the standard controller and set is black as pictured on the product images; my photos are of my custom XBOX Design Lab Series 2 Elite controller which was the only one I have to hand right now. The back paddles offer all sorts of options to you as they can be assigned in the XBOX Accessory settings dashboard to duplicate any of the other functions of the controller, and can also be given a second "shift" function. They sit exactly where you need them to be, and are easily accessible. Personally I set them as the A. B, X and Y buttons so that I can do whatever the buttons are set to do in the game without taking my hands off the thumbstick - great for fast twitch-shooters! The other advantage to having paddles replace the face buttons, I found, is that it means I can continue to play games despite finding using the face buttons difficult. I can suffer severe pain when repeatedly pressing the face buttons in long gameplay sessions, and this was making gaming almost impossible for me. Now, being able to easily access A. B, X and Y on the paddles means I can enjoy my Xbox again with no pain or discomfort. I would suggest this may be helpful for many gamers who find the face buttons tricky to easily use but can comfortably grip the controller as designed. You can of course assign pretty much ANY function to the paddles. The adjustment tool allows you to tighten or loosen the sticks very simply, just how you like. The charger dock can be used from within the case through the hole on the back of the case, or can be used outside of the case. It can be hooked up to your console or any device with a powered USB slot. It is optional; the controller can also be directly connected to your XBOX without the dock. The controller offers massive flexibility so that you can set it up just as you like. Not only can you choose the hardware and adjust stick tension, you can also use the small switches on the back to adjust the trigger pull distance. You will also find great in-depth settings within the Accessories option in the XBOX settings, where you can set button assignments, dead zones, stick adjustments and more. Lastly, you can also use the controller settings on your XBOX to save up to three different profiles, which can be swapped between with the button below the guide button on the controller. This allows you to save specific button layouts and settings for individual games or types of game and switch on the fly. I have used a number of Series 2 Elites for several years each now and at no time have encountered stick drift, sticky buttons, peeling grips or any other issue that the older Series 1 controllers were prone to. They all still work perfectly and I find them much more durable, more comfortable overall than the standard controllers, with a nice heft and feel of quality, and I find the paddles indispensable to the point that I cannot now use a controller without them. The only negative I can think of is that cleaning the inevitable hand-jam off the textured rubber grips is a massive pain in the rear because BOY does that crissy-crossy texture refuse to give it up without a fight. And don't doubt that no matter how fastidious you are keeping your hands clean, you'll need to do it eventually! These are not cheap; but are by far the best controller you will ever use, IMHO.

Best controller I’ve ever used, good weight and highly configurable

First thing I noticed about this controller is that on first impressions the rubber grips are very very slippy, the complete opposite of what I expected and I hated them.... But, after using the controller for a day and getting a feel for it I realised that they actually become very very grippy. But then the next day they felt slippy again almost like trying to hold a bar of soap. But what I figured out is that whilst the rubber is cold it's very slippy, but once you've held the controller for 5 minutes it becomes grippy. The only problem is if you stop holding the controller for 5 minutes it becomes slippy again. It's really quite strange. The grip isn't even the reason I bought the controller I've never really struggled with grip on a controller before, but it's the first thing I noticed about it and initially I thought it was a bad thing. Now I'm just used to it and don't mind it at all. You can easily map the controls to do what you like and set 3 profiles to have different paddles do a different action and different games without having to make a new profile every time you switch games. The best thing about the controller is the thumb sticks. They are next level you can't feel any friction whatsoever against the out outside ring it's amazing. The changeable llsrucksbthatbcomebwith it I have trued but I've just stuck with the standard sticks. The buttons on the back are really nice a super premium feel to them too. I started with all 4 on there hover a finger over each paddle but it was really awkward to hold the controller that way. Basically only leaving your pinky finger to grip on. Now I just use 2 paddles on the back. I've move the 2 smaller ones to the lower pisituon and use my middle fingers to press them and that's a much more natural feeling. The adjustable triggers a good feature also. The overall feel of the controller is very premium. And I'm glas I have it. Its very expensive for what it is though so I'm not 100% sure it's worth the money. I just had some burning a hole on my pocket. The only cons I can think of is that there is no share button like on the series x/s controller, though you can actually completely remap all the buttons and turn one of the paddles into this button if you wanted. I also prefer the D pad on the series x/s controller. The big dish thing tgat comes with this is too flat for me and I have opted for the old school + shaped D pad instead. I hope the bring out a series x/s one out for this it wouldn't be hard to do as its all swappable parts. And finally the center part of the controller has a kind of silicone covering or something. It's feels really nice and premium but it leaves grease marks.

Równo po około roku mocne pływanie gałek!!! Naprawdę odradzam, chyba że chcesz mieć kontroler za niemałą forsę na rok, później do kosza. Na stronie Microsoftu w tej sprawie jest pomoc techniczna (odnośnik aplikacji z żarówką na konsoli - co technicznie zrobić gdy pad się nie łączy itp. i czat po angielsku).

Points forts : - Poids équilibré : La manette est dense sans être trop lourde (345g contre 280g pour un modèle classique), ce qui améliore la prise en main sans fatiguer le joueur, même lors de longues sessions. - Matériaux premium : L'utilisation de métal (gâchettes, palettes, etc.) et de plastique de haute qualité renforce l'aspect haut de gamme du produit. - Palettes personnalisables : La présence de palettes à l'arrière est un véritable atout pratique pour certains types de jeux. - Modularité complète : La manette est entièrement personnalisable (changement des joysticks, réglage de la profondeur des gâchettes, etc.). - Gestion des profils : Possibilité de créer plusieurs configurations et de naviguer instantanément de l'une à l'autre grâce à un bouton dédié en plein jeu. - Excellente autonomie : Batterie intégrée rechargeable via USB-C ou grâce au socle de charge fourni. - Housse de transport "tout-en-un" : Une pochette très pratique qui contient le socle de charge, les joysticks de rechange et dispose d'une ouverture pour passer le câble de recharge. --- Points faibles : - Prix élevé : Cela reste un investissement conséquent, surtout si vous ne recherchez pas spécifiquement un produit haut de gamme ou si vous jouez de manière occasionnelle. - Absence de bouton "Capture d'écran" : Un manque qui peut s'avérer contraignant pour partager ses moments de jeu rapidement.

Questo controller è stata la svolta delle mie sessioni di gaming, a distanza di tempo resta una delle opzioni più valide sul mercato per chi cerca un controller da usare non solo su Xbox ma anche su PC. Scendiamo nei dettagli: Qualità costruttiva eccezionale, ottima scelta dei materiali, visivamente accattivante, ottimo grip e comodo per le mani. Cosa contiene la confezione: All'interno della confezione troviamo l'intero kit Controller al suo interno è presente la basetta di ricarica che è l'involucro stesso del controller, kit macro da inserire nel retro del Controller e varie clip magnetiche degli analogici e delle freccette. Pro: 1) La confezione: ricca a livello di kit sia per estetica che per funzionalità 2) la qualità dei materiali utilizzati per la costruzione del controller è davvero ottima e parliamo di gomma zigrinata e morbidissimo PVC dal quale è composto l'intero Controller. 3) funzionalità: eccellenti le macro, macchinosi per chi alle prime armi prova questo controller ma dopo quasi diventano indispensabili. Funzionamento: a distanza di oltre un anno devo dire che non ho ancora problemi di drifting degli analogici nonostante l'utilizzo intenso. La batteria: per chi ne fa un uso intenso, come nel mio caso, si mantiene ancora bene nessuna criticità nel tempo e nella durata della stessa. I contro: 1) il prezzo, d'altronde chi cerca un prodotto di qualita paga tanto ma qui si paga anche il marchio. 2) per chi suda tanto, potrebbe consumarsi leggermente più velocemente, così come tutti gli altri prodotti dei competitor. 3) il possibile drift degli analogici che possono verificarsi dopo diverse settimane di utilizzo, dipende molto con che cura viene utilizzato il Controller. Sostanzialmente è un controller di ottima fattura, partendo dalla qualità costruttiva arrivando alla dotazione e alle funzionalità. Chi ha da spendere qualcosina e vuole un prodotto ufficiale, di qualità e che funziona bene, questa è la scelta giusta.

Feels amazing in my hands, but I'm not a big fan of the back paddles. I just get confused or press them accidentally (I'm probably just too old to learn new tricks so I just took them off to use it like the old controllers) Bluetooth connectivity was excellent; no fuss setting it up. Only downside I can see are that the colours available for the Xbox symbol on the controller aren't perfect (some colours [e.g. blue, green, red] show better/stronger than all the others and you can only choose from a set selection so you can't tweak a full colour wheel to get it just right or find a compromise to get closer to the colour you want) --- Was a little salty that it was so expensive at first, but you definitely get what you pay for. It is definitely a well manufactured product that I will enjoy using for a long time.

Everything great about the regular Elite 2 controller but at a much friendlier entry point. Costs are down due to omission of back paddles, additional sticks & carrying case, but that's the only thing different between the 2 models (except for the much-better-looking two-tone color finish on the Core) - it even has the 3-zone trigger adjustment options like the Elite 2. All other software based tweaks that you can do with the Elite 2, you can adjust with the Core on the Xbox controller app. So you're not really missing any major features. You can purchase all the additional bells & whistles later on; just wait for a discount on those ;-) Alternatively, there are cheaper good quality third-party vendors (Scuff) who provide back paddles & cases too. The Core does come with the stick tension adjuster in the box, so you can tweak that to your liking. Built-in battery means that you no longer have to keep changing AA batteries on low charge, and the battery life is just as good (if not more). Works seamlessly with Xbox One & Xbox Series consoles as well as with PC. Highly recommended for anyone interested in getting a better controller than the one that comes with your Xbox console
