The buttons feel great. I was pleasantly surprised that the Xbox button feels more like a normal button with very little travel compared to all the other One controllers I have. The sticks and dpads are very easily to swap out but the magnets used to keep them in are strong enough that they’re not going to come out just from shaking it.
The overall feedback by user sounds Xbox Elite Controller 2 is impressive from all angles, however this review is based on short term gameplay. Xbox Elite Series 2 cost $179.99 store price. The controller will be available on 11/04/2019 and you can Pre-order Xbox Elite Wireless 2 on Microsoft Store.
Being able to adjust the brightness of the lights on the controller is a neat idea, but the effect is incredibly subtle for most of the settings. I actually didn’t think it was doing anything when I first started adjusting that.
