Hype check: Xbox Elite Controller series 2
- Thread starter TaySan
- Start date
I one of those weirdos who thinks the controller is the most important part of a console and a great controller makes all games better. Got mine pre-ordered. Now I can leave my Elite 1 permanently hooked up to the PS4 with the Brock adapter. Both console experiences will be better. Elite 2 looks incredible from the previews. Customizations almost feels like cheating.
Basically this for me.
Though I'll probably pick one up once Halo Infinite releases.
I"m buying it begrudgingly.
Still fucking devastated they switched to a stupid internal battery.

Of course they are remapped buttons. How many games on consoles need 16 buttons plus dpad and stick clicks??
Anyway, after my first elite fell to pieces and no longer works because of the right stick. I am hesitant.
I will decide on launch day
Wait up. I was going to buy 100%. But it's usb c ? So I can't use it on my actual charging cradlé ? !
I'll get one eventually. My launch day elite is still working perfectly with no issues whatsoever. I'm really tempted to just get it though. I just can't justify it right now.
I'm not really understanding the folks that are saying their V1 broke (unless it broke because of something outside of normal use) excited for V2. I have a ton of XB1 controllers for PC, my Xbox and now iOS, but I couldn't plunk down so much money if the first version broke on me.
I really would like to hear you elaborate on how you could see either of these two "issues" being practically resolved.
eneloops crew represent!
Internal battery dehyped me completely. Zero reason to spend that much money on a controller with an internal battery when my Elite 1.0 is still going strong.
Hyped!
Didn't need to upgrade but here we are. Ordered from Costco since they gave a great return policy. ( just in case)

I really wanted to pick one up as I've been using my Xbox way more, but with Scarlet on the horizon, I hope they add the few missing things to that controller and make an Elite version for that... Things like Gyro, a screenshot button ala the Switch, keep the replaceable batteries to I can hot swap them.
I'm on a fully functional V1, so $200(pound equiv) is a lot to shell out when we're a year from Scarlett and who knows what, if any, core functionality that may include these don't.

It comes include with its own dock so you don't need to buy a separate one.
im currently using this dock to charge my elite v1 and Scorpio controller. Does this means I'm fucked if I sell my elite v1 and buy the v2? :(

Changed my amazon pre order to Best Buy.
2 year geek squad protection makes me feel better about it if things go south lol

I honestly can't wait. I put my V1 for sale the second I saw this and was able to cover most of the cost with that.
Only thing I'm really worried about is the sticks. The first Elite controller I ever got had drift on the right stick out of the box. This one had better be perfect.

Pre Ordered, can't wait for it to arrive, just hoping the rechargeable battery holds up.
The original Elite is my favourite controller of all time/

Yeah but it would be stupid to have one half empty dock for just my classic controller. And it would use another if my already fully used USB port on Xbox (2 eternal drive and my actual dock)... I'm fucked
I shelled out for the first Elite and it lasted a couple of months before major stick drift that made games unplayable set in, compared to the multiple standard XB1 controllers I've owned with no problems over years of heavy use. Fool me once, won't get fooled again.
so hyped that i pre-ordered it with the help of Amazon breaking the price @141€ :)
that will be my first Elite controller. The built in battery was almost a deal breaker for me (I'm definitively part of the eneloop team, it's so easy to swap empty ones with charged ones in just a few seconds and never need a cable for charging), but I couldn't resist this price...

From what they said in an E3 showcase the softer setting is the same as the current One controller, and the harder setting is about the same as the 360 controller. They added an in-between setting.
Waiting for mine, I already have the V1 but the harder sticks will be great, One sticks are too soft and it's hard to be precise in some games (the long sticks on Elite V1 help though).
I'm excited about picking theses up soon. Downside not happy about buying 2 of them but oh well
Yeah the battery is a bummer and really narrows the option for people that have recharge batteries they can swap in and out . I wonder if they'll start doingthe inbuilt battery with all Scarlett controllers?
Super excited because I loved the Elite 1, but wish I had somewhere to trade in my two Elite 1's. GameStop doesn't accept them anymore lol, basically kind of stuck with them now.
