- Microsofts Xbox Elite Controller has been a big hit with the hardcore crowd even with its high price tag. The first series introduced backplate panels and trigger stops and the Elite Series 2 further enhances the original ideas and makes the quality and craftsmanship even higher.
Check out all of the differences in our video! - เกม

got mine today, I also wish that they include tall dome stick...maybe they will sell them separately later?
Power A did a lot of stuff so I'm sure they will be back with more new stuff. I got their gears set for cheap back in the day.

Play Tested Thanks for your Amazing video I bough the new elite series 2 it’s perfect and compatible on my hand very well but the original series 1 is not
Can u use a scuff set on it like u can on the series1?
Paddles and D pad are interchangeable between both Elites. Sticks are not.
Vaderd2k Are the paddles?
@@jydn9505 yeah I think so but some might not
Yes they are, they are magnetic and can come off
Thanks for this video, you did a good job you deserve more subs!
Appreciate the kind words!
About the bumpers, I didn't get it. RB and LB were just one plastic part, in both the normal Xbox and the Elite 1 controller, that bends in the middle each time you press either button, so it was always a question of time until it breaks
Seemed like a quick fix after people complained about the original bumpers in the first gen xone controllers. Needed more time in development.
What I wonder is will the game track the shorter trigger in shooter games? I had that issue with the old one where it wouldn't react to some trigger bumps
Just ordered mine. Looking forward to going to an elite from a normal Xbox one controller. Good video
Thanks for watching! And welcome to the Elite Club!
starkalarm how is it?
You can dim the led light on the controller in the Xbox accessories app
Great video, thanks for posting it. I think I might upgrade now
Thanks for watching!
Got mine today. The move is the Series 1 top paddles with the Series 2 bottom paddles. I’m finally a 4 paddle gamer instead of just 2.
I'll have to give that a shot!
Thanks bro bro I got mine yesterday for b day and was wondering what changes from original to series 2 thanks a lot
Thanks for watching.
What about the paddles. Can they be exchanged??
Does the "A" button stick on your controller too, like it does on mine? This was an issue on the first elite controller too, for the first couple of hours of usage.
Not on my unit but I have seems couple people on Reddit saying they have sticky buttons.
I've had 6 replacement pads and sticky sticks has not been an issue once. The real issue is the face buttons not registering reliably enough.
I thought I'd check out all these "reviews" of the pad and not surprisingly is that not one of them tested the face buttons during their review.
Essentially, the new design has lower profile buttons than the standard and series 1, and the butting doesn't have enough travel to consistently press the button. So if you give the button a quick short press, or an angled press (which happens a lot during actual casual use than it does during "testing") you get a none registered pressed.
We're in to April now, and I'm still returning my pads to MS, and they all suffer the same design fault. Now either I'm the most unluckiest guy on the planet, or MS and these reviewers are not tested these pads properly.
I presume you can still use Kontrol Freaks on the sticks to get taller/domed sticks? Are the rubber parts of the sticks the same size as the series 1s?
I'm not familiar with that accessorie so not sure
Yea you can use control freaks
Q1ller I hope so
@@adrianjimenez2766 You can I already have...FYI
I want to know on the xbox one s controller if this plastic piece of rb, lb and even saw comments on the dpad, is it true the fragility of these parts or are they durable depending on use and care?
I have 4 xbone controllers and none of them have suffered any major malfunctions out of warranty.
Yo I’m a prior two paddle guy. Just ordered series 2. Just wondering if you converted. I hated how long the bottom paddles were on the series 1
For sure. I am a 4 panel guy name. The top panels from series 1 and the bottom panels from series 2.
Play Tested Could I ask why is that? You use series 1 paddles for the top?
Short version, easier to hold the controller.
Long version, the top panels being shorter when you pair them with the shorter panels on the bottom makes it harder for me to grip the controller the way I want. The placement of where my fingers line up with the shortys on top requires a grip that requires me to hold it a bit higher.
Good Job 👏🏻 I do wish you had tried the old paddles and new paddles on each controller just to see if those are interchangeable but overall great 👍🏻
I didn't even think of that. I wonder if they are interchangeable
@@blaze556922 the paddles aren’t unfortunately, I’ve tried :( but the d pad is. Bought one of each to see the differences myself.
Is the material the same? Is elite 1 better or 2?
Great comparison, thank you. I pre-ordered mike and picked it up today. Never had the original elite remote. Does any usb charger brick work with these?
New controller uses USB C so any USB C cable will work!
Thanks for watching!
Hey man. I just got my elite 2 today as well.
On your original elite with the right thumbstick, it's a hairline crack on the bottom bit (on the inside). That happened to my first elite controller. If you play a lot of cod or zombies for me it's the knifing.
I've always been a 4 paddle person. The new ones are a lot smaller.
When the led is off the paddles are disabled. The short ones are wider and 360 sticks. If you put you tension the highest and the 360 sticks it mimics the original 360 pads.
Enjoy the new toy :)
Thanks for watching!
Yeah I figured that wobbly stick on the gen 1 came from pressing it but I also usually mapped clicks of sticks to panels so who knows what happened.
I am a 4 panel guy for a few games, mainly Doom and Halo 5. But most of the other time I was a 2 panel guy.
After playing with the new one today I think I can be a 4 panel on every game due to the shorter bottoms.
They should of added a taller one of the 360 style
are the triggers and the d pad actually metal? i could never tell from video if they were just painted
if they are made of actual metal id buy one as soon as i get the money
Not sure if they are actually metal but they are high quality and feel like metal.
YES they are metal, and magnetic
Yes I think it was and possibly still is over priced. I really do like the controller too.
Grips peel off over time, I got a full controller grip to cover it but Keyboard nor Chatpad doesn't fit with that on!
And I would get shorter paddles for the back, unless controllers lays down flat or reinvent the buttons...
ABXY might stick if not cleaned regularly.
Also, is the USB cord with it 8 feet?
i just looked at the release time on this vid and omg i can hardly believe the elite series 2 controller was intraduced a whole 3 or more years ago.
Just got the elite 2 as an early birthday present and I love it 😀
same
Mine is coming in 3 days I’m so exited !
Is it broken yet?
@@mrbigboy3056 probably there not the most durable but you of have that warranty
Anyone know where I can get my original fixed? The left thumbstick keep drifting upwards and it's driving me crazy. This is my second one and I really don't want to invest in another.
Microsoft themselves service them, but also videogame911
Also depending how bad the drift is, you can mess with the dead zones in the Xbox app.
Play Tested thanks for the reply. I tried the Xbox app but it couldn't help. It's really bad lol. And I imagine since it's been awhile, Microsoft would probably charge me an arm & leg. I'll try videogame911. Thanks again.
When I had my OG replaced with Microsoft it actually wasn't bad. They only charged me for shipping and it was out of warranty. Others on Reddit have expressed similar experiences. I'd pull up a chat and see what they say.
@@playtested2168 will do, thanks again.
When I got the series 1 elite controller, it didn't last long. It got drift in the first 2 months. The series 2 however, hasn't gotten drift since I bought it. Definitely a better controller!
That's a shame! I've had mine for over 5 years and it still works perfectly. I game a lot too
i'm looking into what controller i should use as a primary gameing gamepad for spicificaly xboxes. so far the elete series 2 seems to have better build quality than the first but the series 1 has the piec on top the home button is in and i kinda like the look of it. it's worth mentioning though for anyone interested in the elite 1 or 2 controller to use as a primary controller i think you should be aware of high quality controller manufacturers like scuff cuz in my opinion it seems scuff's xbox controllers are at least slightly beter overall and extensively customizeing them is far more consume friendly oh and if your a fan of gyro aiming or simply want mation controlls their's some prety high quality aftermarket ps4 controllers that have a design more similar to the xbox controllers than ps4 controllers. I think their's better options for my high budget so i'm gona keep researching other controllers.
You can cover the LED with a piece of duck tape
Sweet.. I've been wanting one for a while and have just ordered the elite 2. Nice video
Thanks for watching!
Welcome to the elite Club. You won't regret it.
I love the new GameCube style thumbstick.
Think that one's gonna go on my right thumbstick and never move.
@@playtested2168 Should be left.
I like it for aiming.
@@playtested2168 than use the tall thumbstick for that.
I like the dome for the tip of the finger
Why is no one saying anything about the 2 being smaller. And thinner. Noticeably smaller and thinner. And it does not feel comfortable in the hand because you fingers wrap all the way around it and i have medium sized hands.
I'm not sure which two you're referring to. At first hold I could tell the top two were smaller but they definitely are but I did say how the bottom two are much shorter.
I agree completely. I got the series 2 but couldn't use the paddles comfortably because how small the controller is.
Nice vid 👍👍
Much appreciated!
I’m actually going crazy mine hasn’t arrived yet
Patience my young Padawan
Play Tested it arrived an hour ago I’m so happy
when i had an original elite controller i only used the domed sticks and it kinda pisses me off a little that the series 2 doesnt.. domed sticks always made moving the sticks smoother but also in racing games they made turning feel better and smoother. and i was thinking if i could use the old domed sticks on the series 2 (because i still have those) but now seeing that i cant do that makes me feel a bit more annoyed about the whole stick thing... i dont really feel the need to have three different types of the same indented sticks that are just the same as every other xbox controller ever made but only one set of domed pieces and now to non.
There is one dome stick but is textured and the same length as the original sticks. The mid length of the og domes was a big plus for me as well.
Thanks for watching!
@@playtested2168 i did like the domed sticks of the original controller, i never had any issues with them at all. i think its just kinda... i guess 'dumb' in a way, that they seemingly dont care about those types of joysticks at all and now they only include ONE domed stick. like, they added one. so why not give it a brother?
I want one but almost $200 for a controller? Is this worth it?
I made a follow up video few days ago and at this time the quality control on these seem very bad. I'd hold off.
The idea and concept i am all for and find it worth the price.
I had my elite controller for 2 years and I only had 1 minor problem. And that problem was that my pinky would rub against the rubber and it would cause blisters. The 2nd one is 10x better and I felt the difference the first time I held it. People are saying that there are many problems but I have encountered none and I got this controller the first day it came out. Hands down best controller of the Xbox one era
Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately my A button just started doing some sticky things and had to send it in. But other than that, it's been bliss all around.
Play Tested yea that’s been a problem for my friend. I guess I’m just lucky but I think the controllers awesome. Hopefully you won’t have anymore problems!
I'm hoping they figured it out and got it fixed quickly. M$ said they are shipping me a brand new unit in box.
Play Tested Awesome!
Matt from Wii Sports Ohh shit,I remember beating you on bowling on Wii sports all the time lol
my xbox elite 1 will come next week can’t wait to play with paddles
Is there a weight difference?
Slightly heavier.
Sir what about those metal paddles from elite v2 are they compatible in v1 also?
They are. Along with the dpads.
@@playtested2168 but the changeble analog sticks are not compatible sir?
Correct.
@@playtested2168 ty sir
I feel like your hands and I just had a intimate connection.
I felt it too. 😍
😂😂😂😂
Nani!?
I buy this control and I thought is a good controller but until two week
is make noise on the right trigger. I return it! And I thinks about
buying this controller again but feel stupid buying so expensive for
just a controller. Is about a console price!!
Great comparison, thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Got mine an it’s a great controller
Thanks for watching!
I may get one in Christmas
Ill put in a good word with santa. we are bros.
I 'Am' getting one for Christmas,and also a keyboard.Fucking gamer
The triggers in the elite 2 are digital and not analog which is baffling
What star sign are you ?
I'm sorry what?
@@playtested2168 zodiac sign?
Leo. Why do you ask? Just kinda random lol
@@playtested2168 cause you sound like me, born in July though ye ?
nice vid I preordered mine and it still has not. come
Thanks for watching!
It'll be worth it when it comes.
thats why i just did the walmart pickup. basically reserved it because they put it in their pickup tower
Still useful 11 months later
I love the new V2
Again I use tall dome sticks, so will hold off buying a new one, until you can no longer get the first type.
I'm hoping some third party accessories will hit at some point with different sticks
thumbs up for a KI fan.
The joystick nubs aren't compatible, bummer man.
Thank you god bless!!!
Im ordering series 1. Nice video.
Thanks for watching and commenting
That’s why the series 2 won because the first one was breaking a lot and had drifting sticks i still have the first series but I use the 2nd one more
False the series 2 seems to be evidently less reliable in all aspects except for the grips 😂
@YO Mama then tell me why my elite series 2 isn’t broken then even though I’ve had it for almost a year and yet my series 1 started to shatter 3 weeks after I got it
@@BigMelvinHarrisSmokemy shit works fine till this day besides the grips but everybody knows those were trash maybe if you take care of your shit it won't break bud
@YO Mama may I ask, why do you butt into people’s comments anyway? For attention? For honour? Because the only honour you’re getting is to sit down and shut the fuck up I didn’t even ask you to reply anyway you fat shit, my Elite series 1 doesn’t even turn on now because of the lack of carefulness Microsoft put into the first elite series, just admit that the elite series 2 is better already dumbass
@@BigMelvinHarrisSmoke lmao its a comment section u donut cry about it baby boy
This mans a baby about led lights😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gamergopt i agree
I will
You didn't mention key adjust tension
I did briefly but didn't go into detail.
cool
i am getting an elite 2 and my brother alredy has one
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy it.
That sucks that your controller magically got cracked. It happened in a really odd place. Video came controllers shouldn't be brittle to crack like that, or at least One would think so. Of all the components of a console gaming system, the controllers are the parts which get handled the most and it's not unlikely that one will get knocked off the coffee table a time or two..... eventually. I haven't dropped any of S-series controllers but I know I've "set" them down a bit carelessly a couple times from game frustration but luckily they are fine. But mine are standard console bundled model 1708s. I'm just sayin, it seems like it took a good knock or fall for it to crack like that. So you have kids?.... Or a spouse or siblings? I'm guessing somebody might be scared to tell you what happened.
Thanks for watching!
And no I live alone. Like I said in the video I did have a squeaky trigger and I used a device to get a bit of oil on the spring which required me to snake it under the trigger and I'm guessing maybe the oil did something.
@@playtested2168 lol okay. Still no fun, those controllers are expensive.
Love your video but that intro wounded me.
Yeah someone else commented on this! Didn't notice when I made it but future videos are fixed! Apologies for your ears
@@playtested2168 No worries. At least you addressed it. Lookin foward to future videos.
I love my new elite 2 controller
Cheers! Thanks for watching
How to use the paddle for jumping like in call of duty
Tim Thompson watch a vid
I want to get it. But idk i like the long dome on the left side and i use a scuff long concave on the right and they wont work so i dont know if I'll get it. If they could switch the sticks i would idl
These things are literally less reliable than the normal base model controller. They're wonderful when they're working but they're a woeful product considering the price you pay.
9:01 noooooooo
Yeah I had read the paddles and dpads were back compatible and I just assumed the sticks would be too.
@@playtested2168 hey thanks for figuring it out for me before mine arrives lol
iGnashtys I was trying to find this info out for a while thanks for the info
Elite controllers are a great design but the parts and build quality is just about the worst I have ever experienced, it's shocking how the can charge so much for something that
will fall apart within months of purchase.
It seems the quality control is questionable.
Here Here!!!!
Exactly.
My concern and anyone that can answer this, I appreciate, not a gamer, so be nice about it, please. I hate, so much, when there are design complaints, that clearly were there to start with, made to break and my biggest concern, is reliability, will that built-in, pain in the ass to change, or maybe impossible to change, is braindead, colors (who cares, I want it to work), but the battery thing: why not make a replacement charger swap that is easy, to make your greed money, not profit, because noted by a Microsoft marketer on this, it was glanced by, that is seemed to me, impossible to swap, meaning, wired only and warranty doesn't fly on this, because when "renewed", or "refurbished" is offered for real, even by Microsoft, that rechargeable battery is likely, dying, to die. When I say, the warranty does not fly, that means, having to pay shipping games for the warranty, means no joystick and at these prices, get real. Yeah, I am a geezer, old games were fun, but the beating that a Sega Genesis could take, being tossed (stupid and childish, but they were cheap), they were almost impossible to break, $30 to replace, but these are $150-$200 controllers, sorry, not, joysticks, clearly made to break and one person, looking a few of these great videos, had one arrive, broken and Microsoft had the poor guy, who also bought a warranty, ship it back, wait for repair, then have it shipped back, over just replacing it, was some trust, putting out that kind of cash, like that money would break Microsoft, or, this was a huge con, for a joystick. It is just obvious, or seems so, for anyone designing this, to think of a dead battery, seemingly, so damn hard to replace, maybe, cannot and when cell phones started this BS crap, citing dust, that was a piss off. The original just broke on its own, taken care of and the new and improved has glaring design flaws (on purpose), come on. This made to break BS, is BS! * I could be 100% wrong, not a gamer, so be kind in correcting me, I value it and I don't troll others, so please, be nice, polite, helpful and I will thank you! Cheers!
A custom battery is usually made for the reason of space.
If you want the consumer to be able to use either swappable batteries or a rechargable you have to account for both. Meaning less room or you have to make it more bulky.
There are other small things that can be better without a swappable battery but it varies from product to product.
Not saying it's not Microsoft being a bit of a dick here but the elite series 2 does have a different chassis from the standard controller. It's possible that to keep it the same size an internal battery had to he used.
Are you going to give away the xbox elite controller? I can't afford it so I would very appreciate it
I will not be able to. I will have selling it in order to be able to afford the V2. We do give away gamepass codes on our podcast though. Game Pass or Pass
@@playtested2168 it's all good, thanks
Paddles, PADDLES SAY IT WITH ME PADDLES
NOT PANELS
Lol I see I struck a cord
@@playtested2168 chord, CHORD LOL
Oh yeah that...CHROD
@@playtested2168 Well played earned a sub
I work hard for my people.
I’m rockin one of the Elite series 2 controller on my game streams on Mixer @ BRIMMER555
fucking hell that intro music is too loud man...
Others have expressed this. I have fixed it on future videos. Apologies.
@@playtested2168 cool btw just an advice if you can still edit videos even after you uploaded them already or put a warning at beginning that would probably help your channel a lot since this is my first time viewing your channel my first impression was a immediate pause and a dislike cause that intro really blew my eardrums off lol. I'm not trying to be an asshole or anything just saying first impressions means a lot.
@@haxx1707 I completely agree. I just edited the audio to something else that hopefully isnt as loud but in post it doesn't really let me adjust levels that I can see.
So what ur saying is, i just got the best controller out...
we are broke broke pppl chat here
Personally I would get the series 1
Both are a good option and miles beyond the regular controller.
I picked up the modded zone elite controller 2
I can have auto fire on everything
Lots of other mods on it
I'm a cheater lol
Lol at least you admit it.
Thanks for watching!
absolute waste of money....jsut stick to regular controllers. They are lighter....and all of them are going to have stick drift eventually. With regular ones u can just get new one without worrying too much. All the gimmicks like software editing and paddles are just lame and don't really help in real game. CLunky and heavy af, with squishy buttons.. Bougth the Elite series 2 ....not too impressed tbh
that killer instinct reboot was garbage stopped watching thumbs down for that this guy is clueless.
Nerd alert
