@@MV-ri7zu I’m talking regular controllers. You can buy modded pads that you can map to any button for 30-40$ and that will last you years. Even if you buy control freaks it would still be cheaper even in the long run
It's kinda funny how the Elite feels much more quality, but the Thrustmaster literally *is* much better quality. From mechanical buttons to actually having precalibrated sticks from the factory out there's really no comparison here. Plus the amount of broken Elite series 2 controllers out there... yikes. I wanted to love those but man what a let down.
Yea the biggest thing for me is that if sometime down the line I get stick drift, I can simply replace the individual module instead of trying to buy a whole new controller or bringing it to a repair shop for a costly repair.
As someone who has owned a Thrustmaster for months, I can tell you that while the controller is undeniably good, the price tag is not worth it. It’s hardly durable, and problems arise within the first few months, especially when playing a game like Rocket League. Within the first 2 months, the right throttle started acting out, and every once in a while, it would input on its own and I would have to press it down to cancel it out. Eventually it would continue on its own and pressing the button down did nothing. I decided to get it replaced by Amazon, and the new controller continued to work well until the next few months when the right bumper started getting worn out and the button started jiggling a lot more. If you have the money to burn, then it’s a really good controller, but the low durability and longevity makes the hefty price tag not worth it.
@@Yatagarasu unfortunately a lot of these pro controllers have durability issues. I’ve owned the elite series 1, series 2, razer wolverine tournament, razer wolverine ultimate etc. so far my favorite has been the ultimate but it has the same bumper issues that the elite series 2 has. I have yet to try the thrust master but It has my attention. I’m currently thinking about getting the razer V2 but it doesn’t have paddles on the back which sucks. The turtle beach recon controller looks good but also no paddles and no trigger stops. If razer made a Wolverine Ultimate V2 I’d definitely buy that in a heartbeat
Yeah I hear a lot of reviews say the elite is the best Xbox controller ever but then when I hear about people who have been using the controller for a while they all report various weird problems that happen pretty quickly.
I think you actually forgot about one of the most important things: the precalibrated sticks of the Thrustmaster a way more precise! It is absolutely insane how you can feel the difference with these thumbsticks. Yeah, they are a little loose, but still so damn accurate, it blows my mind every time I go back an compare those two on a new shooter game.
I wish ThrustMaster would have just gone with the same shape as the Elite S2 and Paddles. Or Microsoft needs to make an Elite S3 with the swappable thumbsticks. Just merge the two for the perfect controller.
I just returned mine to cosco after having it for a year I didn't even have the box I'm glad they returned my money my RB button was bad I had to really press it hard to get feedback
After having both and having so many problems with the elite series 2 I gotta go with the thrustmaster..plus love the mechanical buttons!! Have had the thrustmaster for a good wile now and still works like new...my first elite 2 started drifting in about a month and my second one took about three months...my wallet doesn't dig that too much!
How is the thrust master still? I just received an elite series 2 controller and the B button already wasn’t registering out the box, brand new too. The right trigger also got a little stuck at the very bottom so I’m returning it and trying to find a good controller like it that won’t break immediately.
@@Zakilgore Thrustmaster Controller is a bit pricey but the fact you can change most of the buttons easily ( including the joysticks ) , you will save a shit ton of money if something breaks or have stick drift , with other controllers normally after you get stick drift or a faulty button you just buy another $60 Controller but Thrustmaster you can just buy the button itself for like $20.
I have the elite series 2 right now and have stick drift and a delay when pressing a button so after reading the comments I think I will buy the thrustmaster next instead of the elite series 2 again.
I hope this eSwap Pro is durable. Have already 2 broken Elite Series 2 controllers with the same issue(LB dead/lagging) and not looking forward to a 3rd one.
I agree with lots of u guys comments. Why won't Xbox just try harder and make a controller like the thrustmaster. Where we can remove modules and left thumbsticks. Playing Madden h2h online has been a pain for me. I have used every controller naked and they all get stick drift too soon for me. Only when playing Madden it seems. I have also had Sony products as well. Same issue with Madden. Taking modules out with Thrustmaster still don't stop stick drift..
Xbox series is too small, and, I hate the Xbox thumbstick offset configuration. The thrustmaster wins as far as size and thumbstick position easily. I do wish the back buttons were more accessible however.
Got my Elite Series 2 a year ago and it didn't hold up 4 months before sticks became floppy and RB button stopped working. Hope my new Thrustmaster holds up longer.
A friend of mine owns 2 Thrustmast E Swap controllers(PS4 version) he bought both within 4 months of each other. Let me start by saying that the Thrustmaster is one of the best controllers I've ever used and seen before i absolutely loved them! However, the 1st one around 3-4 months into its life cycle started to have unbearable stick drift issues and the 2nd one around 3-4 months(again 😂) have suffered from the same issue. He's now back to using his Nacon Revolution 2 which he has owned for 3 years now. He's looking into trying the Elites after my suggestion but he's very upset because according to him the Thrustmasters simply felt superior to anything he's tried before
...? just buy a new joystick unit for $20. Thats kinda the focus of the controller, you don't have to replace the whole controller if you get stick drift or something like that.
Regretting buying Xbox elite 2 controller. Microsoft is still using a thin plastic flexible piece of aluminium/plastic inside the controller mechanism to press the right bumper. They got sued and they deserve it. So basically you are holding Right bumper but its flickering if you are not hard pressing it. ( Even if you feel it's being clicked) Many complaints about the buttons getting sticky and when you have a button that you use much, it might stuck ( google A button stuck Microsoft series elite 2 controller ). I only like the back extra pads which is easy to click. Comfortable to handle. BUT NEVER EVER BUY IT as these previous problems are still commonly happening.
I have both of them and I’m a pc player I play fifa I was gold 3 since I bought the thrustmaster eswap x pro controller I get gold one or elite, this one is much faster Thant Xbox elite one and if it’s a problem with the stick you can just replace it for $20, for me this one it’s much solid and faster than the Xbox elite 2, so I’m so happy with this one ...
@@CRUUUNCHYY well I’m using the thrustmaster more than a month and I don’t have any problem if the sticks stop working I can just replace it for $20 not like elite you have to replace the hole controller with elite i Changed 3 times the first one was 3 months the second time 1 month and the last time I hade was after 2 weeks the left tigger stop working and now I can’t replace it I have to wait because I got from Best Buy store and it’s out of stock and every time I replace the elite I have to pay $60 for new insurance ,so I’m happy with this thrustmaster for now ...
I’m a elite controller person and I’ve just purchased the thrustmaster ,after one month of use I run the drift testing software and let me say Xbox want shooting ,elite thumbstick are total garbage , basically elite 2 controller is unusable and the thrustmaster still has 0 stick drift and the elite should be sold with a Cronus zen so you can control the stick drift it’s that bad ,if anyone using the elite thinks I’m wrong test your controller and you will see why you miss them shots ,gamepad tester software .elite is like a sports car with no engine ,
Could you play double claw on the thrustmaster in the ps4 layout, and is it confortable. I play double claw on ps4 and I dont want to get a ps5 cause apparently the xbox is better.
Don't buy the Elite Series. Wait until Microsoft fixes their durability issues. If the Elite Series 3 still can't last more than 3 months without breaking, then never touch and Elite con again. Razer Wolverine Tournament is the most durable controller on the market. While the Ultimate has more features and is mostly recommended for FPS, it will not last as long as the Tournament edition. When it comes to looking for the right controller, DURABILITY is TOP PRIORITY Overall, if you plan on playing FPS, Mouse is best. It'll outlast any and all controllers by YEARS
I have this eSwap controller for Xbox and when I try to use the Razer Kaira Pro headset, the microphone doesn’t work when trying to play games. Not only can I not hear others, they can’t hear me. Anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
I've been using an eswap X pro since it came out and recently tried out an elite series 2 controller, i hate the elite, its too tiny, the buttons are mushy, the start/select buttons are in the worst place possible, why should my thumb rub the stick when i need to press the start button? the elite series 2 being so small also makes the paddles do nothing but get in the way from accidental presses, the price of the elite is way over the top and the weight is a tad much.
Elite: Still the most advanced controller on the market. WAY more pricey. Has so many features that it can't sustain itself and breaks after 3 months (at most) eSwap: The most accurate thumbsticks on the market. Swappable. Mechanical buttons. Wired = less latency. And the controller will likely last years longer than Elite Series could ever dream of
Hacen mandos pensando exclusívamente solo en la gente que juega a Call of Duty, pero se olvida en crear los gatillos con más recorrido para las personas que les gusta o que casi solo juegan a juegos de conducción para poder simular algo más el acelerador de cualquier coche o moto. Por favor, la próxima vez que hagan un mando, den la opción de que los gatillos tengan mucho más recorrido tanto para frenar como para acelerar, todo no son solo disparos.
Man I've had the elite series 1 and 2, only one of each, never had any button issues, but the stick wobble (not strict drift) on both has gotten to be too much for fps games, its got to be at least a .2-.4 second delay on fine aiming, and thats obviously too much. I hope this controller doesn't have that physical stick wobble. It'll be here in a few hours so we will see
Awesome comparison! I had a question, do you know if there are attachments for the thumbsticks on the eSwap to extend them like the Elite 2 has with its extended removable thumbstick?
Can someone please explain to me why the eswap feels so much different. I have the ps controller and when I play with the normal PS4 controller and then swap to the eswap pro, it feels so different that I literally can't play right.
Looks like a better alternative to the elite 2 controller, i do love the highest tension setting on the elite controller 2. It would be good if you could buy a higher tension analogue to match the elite controller 2
I play Rocket League and I use lb as my drift and I like to be able to reverse and drift at the same time with 1 finger. Can't do that on the thrustmaster unfortunately. But, It's the only controller that offers square deadzone for console players. I hate the feel of it though. the buttons are way better. If only the elite had square deadzone settings Id be happy.... even though my lb on my elite started malfunctioning after 1 month... had to take it apart and fix it.... elites are a joke for quality.
ordered 7 elite series 2 controller before i finally got one without sticky right trigger. 7. the 8th lasted a couple weeks. fuckin hate the series 2 cheap shit quality control.
It's actually impressive how amazingly well designed, comfortable, and high quality they FEEL, but simultaneously how fucking cheaply they really are made, cutting costs everywhere where it's possible. It's a joke to ask more than $50 for this piece of shit. I had the series one, incredible controller while it worked. And I really mean the whole fucking thing just disintegrated in couple of years, with very occasional, careful use. Never again.
I don’t recommend the Elite serie 2. I had to return 3 of these and still no luck. The A and Y aren’t alway responsive. As a pro Rocket league player, I will say this is quite anoying.
Lol what? Are you talking about non-rechargeable normal AA batteries? Who on earth uses those in this day and age? Eneloops have been on the market for like 15 years now, and even before that there were normal NiMh cells for cheap (I remember when my dad transitioned everything in our household to rechargeable AA cells in the late 90s).
Eswap pro x is so much better then the elite 2, best sticks in the game and you can easily replace them for 20$ where as when the elite sticks start to drift (which mine did out of box) the controller needs to be replaced.
bro get that xbox out of that cubby lol. you need 4 inches of space from all vents. the back ones and tops ones need 4 inches. heat not exiting how it should could cause issues long term
I bought and test both so I can give you a simple answer: Buy Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro. Also for your information is true that: - eSwap X Pro is bigger than elite 2 however is only a little bit (mid hands can use it 100%); - with elite 2 wireless u will have better confort (nice rubbers all over the controller); - the elite 2 wireless don't come factory calibrated; - the buttons ABXY of ALL series 2 wireless are bad (if you press without full pressure the buttons don't register); - eSwap X Pro have amazing ABXY buttons and more precise joys. - If you have a series 2 wireless and don't agree with me, just go to your windows control panel, gamepads, and check the buttons there. if you do 100 light clicks on the buttons especially (A and Y) you will notice what I'm saying. Now take your choice.. I bought a Series 2 Wireless and in the next day I was swapping for eSwap X Pro and I'm 100% happy.
In what way? I want to know because I find the Playstation layout better for FGs more comfortable. This is the only Xbox/PC controller I found that has a PS layout that isn't trash.
@@santiagoflores2272 Do you think it might be fixed with the "Fighting Parts?" I'm still leaning towards it but would like your opinion on the extra parts you could get or is it something with the controller itself.
@@santiagoflores2272 It's probably because he didn't buy it. Also I must have not been paying attention and just noticed the Eswap is wired which might be a hard push for me. I wanted an Xbox controller for its nativity and Bluetooth, but if its wired I might just stay with a plugged-in PS4 controller on my PC.
Elite..... till the first stick drift.... still no solution Microsoft?.... o right, just order a new controller.... and just wait till that tiny USB3 port gets damaged because why give it any support... so Elite yet so fragile... is it a girls controller? do we even supposed to touch it? I only hope Thrustmaster does not go cheep on the Sticks quality, so far mine feels great and I just got that tiny steering wheel to swap it for the D-pad, I mean how cool is that!
I have the first gen elite controller and I'm sorry but I hate it! The damn paddles on the back are always getting hit on accident almost every time you set the damn thing down. Xbox controllers in general are too damn small! They are made for kids hands not full grown male adult hands! Maybe I just have big hands but come on Xbox can't you make two sizes of controllers? They keep making the damn things smaller instead of bigger for those of us with big hands! Perfect size my ass! Maybe if you've got dainty little girl hands! Now the Xbox 360 controller that was a better size controller! Still not perfect but way better than these small ass POS controllers they have now days! Corded oh well. I use my POS Elite controller wired (it's faster and more responsive). Of course the elite controller has the drift issue as well (I'm in the class action lawsuit over that crap too) that's the beauty of the Thrustmaster! Drift issue get another stick instead of having to buy another complete way over priced POS controller! I haven't splurged and got the Thrustmaster yet but I really think that's the way to go! It's bigger! It's got the advanced swappable joysticks/buttons so no need to spend way to much money buying a replacement controller just for the drift issue! It's got buttons instead of the damn paddles that always seem to get in the way. I won't be wasting money on another Xbox Elite POS controller again that's for sure! I only bought it for my PC for racing games but then I broke down and got an Xbox One S to play PUBG with some buddies on console and man I hate shooting games where you have to use a slow POS controller! Keyboard and mouse is the way to play shooting games! All controllers suck for shooter games! They are all way to slow! (Yes I've upped my sensitivity as much as I could with it still being usable and it still sucks!) I think it's complete BS that you can't use a keyboard and mouse on any system! Xbox is Microsoft. Microsoft is computers. Let us use whatever we want to control our characters! Don't give me the BS that's cheating cause NO IT'S NOT! The same could be said for these damn controllers with the extra "cheating" programmable buttons on the back of the controllers! Auto aim or aim bot or no recoil that's cheating! Just using a better method of controlling your character is NOT cheating! Get over it console users! Mouse and keyboard is the way to go!
It's much better to run just the two lower paddles on the elite 1 and not all 4, some pros use 3 paddles from time to time but I've never actually known of someone who used all 4 .. generally if you must run more than two you'd allocate the 3rd paddle towards something that doesn't require a split second decision making and muscle memory like medkits in PUBG. Forget about trying to get used to all 4 paddles on an elite 1 controller, using all 4 paddles on an elite 2 controller is feasible but the controller is quite noticeably thinner than the elite 1 controller which is quite painful for my hands as it's just too small to use for a full game session, I wound up returning the elite 2 after a few days as it just killed my hands having to increase tension in order to hold it correctly ... My elite 1 NEEDS to be replaced here in the next month or two and I'm fine enough with the size of it + 2 paddles only but something feels wrong about considering buying the elite 1 6 years after release for the same price as an elite 2.... and to be perfectly honest every non microsoft "xbox" controller I've seen looks like it would feel about as cheap as an old 20$ mad catz controller.
@Goodliferacing yeah they keep making the damn things smaller and don't even care about people who have bigger hands. Why wouldn't a company make two sizes for people? That's so dumb and I feel they are missing the ball big time on that one! Yet another reason I want the Eswap Pro. That and the fact when it gets the drift issue like all controllers eventually do you can just replace the stick giving you the issue instead of having to replace the entire thing. There's really no reason to buy any other controller unless you have dainty little girl hands lol
Well I thats true but if you really haven’t heard of the stick drift in that controller idk what to tell you lol (not saying you haven’t just saying that as a sort of example)
@@theolives4597 no trust me I know ALL Abt stick drift in controllers, ya know if you don't keep them clean or wear an tear over time.. but stick drift being NOTORIOUS if you read any reviews on a 200 dollar control almost immediately after buying..... Noone should know about
@@Lbdataz1469 the paddles mean that you don't need to take your thumb off the analogue to reload, jump, crouch or change weapon. It might be situational, but the situational situations are every time you engage with an enemy. That split second of your thumb off the analogue can often be the difference between winning the gun fight.
@@HeyItsDoobie Yeah I have the Elite 2. It's a really good controller, the only downside for me has been stick drift on the last 2 I've had. It's easily controlled and not even noticeable when playing. It's just really annoying when you're doing certain things
Do not buy this shit controller :D My right trigger and 2 pairs of sticks broke within the first 2 months. Didn't drop or throw the controller a single time.
The d Pad is Not good at Thrustmaster. That works Not very Well for fighting Games. 1 or 2 Millimeter Game have the d Pad. The best for fighting Games is the ps4 d Pad. At beginning of Playstation History time. I dont find a bether.🤷🏻♂️

@@CRUUUNCHYY well I’m using the thrustmaster more than a month and I don’t have any problem if the sticks stop working I can just replace it for $20 not like elite you have to replace the hole controller with elite i Changed 3 times the first one was 3 months the second time 1 month and the last time I hade was after 2 weeks the left tigger stop working and now I can’t replace it I have to wait because I got from Best Buy store and it’s out of stock and every time I replace the elite I have to pay $60 for new insurance ,so I’m happy with this thrustmaster for now ...
FIFA is a trash game made for disabled people, fifa is the same garbage every year and pc is trash because it doesn’t have disc games
I’m a elite controller person and I’ve just purchased the thrustmaster ,after one month of use I run the drift testing software and let me say Xbox want shooting ,elite thumbstick are total garbage , basically elite 2 controller is unusable and the thrustmaster still has 0 stick drift and the elite should be sold with a Cronus zen so you can control the stick drift it’s that bad ,if anyone using the elite thinks I’m wrong test your controller and you will see why you miss them shots ,gamepad tester software .elite is like a sports car with no engine ,
Anyone know if these controllers will work with the xbox 360? I see them only list the series x and xbox one on their store pages
Could you play double claw on the thrustmaster in the ps4 layout, and is it confortable. I play double claw on ps4 and I dont want to get a ps5 cause apparently the xbox is better.
Would you suggest this over something like the elite series 2 or razer wolverine ultimate for fps
Don't buy the Elite Series. Wait until Microsoft fixes their durability issues. If the Elite Series 3 still can't last more than 3 months without breaking, then never touch and Elite con again. Razer Wolverine Tournament is the most durable controller on the market. While the Ultimate has more features and is mostly recommended for FPS, it will not last as long as the Tournament edition.
When it comes to looking for the right controller, DURABILITY is TOP PRIORITY
Overall, if you plan on playing FPS, Mouse is best. It'll outlast any and all controllers by YEARS

Do kontrol freeks fit the eswap x pro ??
I have this eSwap controller for Xbox and when I try to use the Razer Kaira Pro headset, the microphone doesn’t work when trying to play games. Not only can I not hear others, they can’t hear me. Anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
I've been using an eswap X pro since it came out and recently tried out an elite series 2 controller, i hate the elite, its too tiny, the buttons are mushy, the start/select buttons are in the worst place possible, why should my thumb rub the stick when i need to press the start button? the elite series 2 being so small also makes the paddles do nothing but get in the way from accidental presses, the price of the elite is way over the top and the weight is a tad much.
In short.
Elite: wireless, more tuning options.
Eswap: better analog sticks by quite a mile (measurable), but... ehh... it looks kinda weird.
Elite: Still the most advanced controller on the market. WAY more pricey. Has so many features that it can't sustain itself and breaks after 3 months (at most)
eSwap: The most accurate thumbsticks on the market. Swappable. Mechanical buttons. Wired = less latency. And the controller will likely last years longer than Elite Series could ever dream of
Do they have an adapter for the 3.5 mm port for an Astro headset?
Hello, on a thrustmaster can I reassign the joystick push button for one on the back of the controller?
Yes you can
Yes, it comes with a software rhar u can use to customize
Hacen mandos pensando exclusívamente solo en la gente que juega a Call of Duty, pero se olvida en crear los gatillos con más recorrido para las personas que les gusta o que casi solo juegan a juegos de conducción para poder simular algo más el acelerador de cualquier coche o moto. Por favor, la próxima vez que hagan un mando, den la opción de que los gatillos tengan mucho más recorrido tanto para frenar como para acelerar, todo no son solo disparos.
Man I've had the elite series 1 and 2, only one of each, never had any button issues, but the stick wobble (not strict drift) on both has gotten to be too much for fps games, its got to be at least a .2-.4 second delay on fine aiming, and thats obviously too much. I hope this controller doesn't have that physical stick wobble. It'll be here in a few hours so we will see
how is it so far compared to your elites?
The elite 2 also has about 14ms of input delay.
Awesome comparison! I had a question, do you know if there are attachments for the thumbsticks on the eSwap to extend them like the Elite 2 has with its extended removable thumbstick?
Was wondering this too, I haven't seen any yet. I need a tall right stick.
th-cam.com/video/RE2abunOQ9g/w-d-xo.html
@Krispy Chikken stfu there are slightly different ones, no actual tall ones.
Something that i have heard is that the playstation kontrol freeks will fit it. But not the xbox ones.
@@Scion15 👆
which one has more resistance to analog wear / stick drift ?
Definitely the eSwap X, Xbox series controllers are well known for sticki
What game is that at 2:00
Can someone please explain to me why the eswap feels so much different. I have the ps controller and when I play with the normal PS4 controller and then swap to the eswap pro, it feels so different that I literally can't play right.
Just by looking at it I think the thrustmaster is just too big and kinda clunky
I may have missed it but does the eswap need to be plugged into the console or does it work wireless?
Wired
Wired its better tho because it makes the controller for games a bit more responsive
It's better wired for the same reason Ethernet is better than WiFi
Wired isn't that much better. Unless you're playing in an actual tournament you're just being a clown 🤡
I’ve gone through 2 elite 2 controllers and I would not recommend so now I’m here looking into the market for something else
I’m also looking for an alternative. This thrustmaster would’ve been perfect if it had paddles
And if it was wireless
Is it usb type c?
Looks like a better alternative to the elite 2 controller, i do love the highest tension setting on the elite controller 2. It would be good if you could buy a higher tension analogue to match the elite controller 2
Thrustmaster back buttons are bad though. You can only use 2 back buttons the other 2 are way to close to the middle of controller.
@@paperchaserttv8754 i found it was easier to use all paddles when you switch to a playstation layout and the shorter thumbsticks it comes with
You didn't even add the fact that the eswap has a whole app for adjust the sticks and triggers and the elite doesn't have that
It does what?!
I’m buying a new controller and doing the research, but what?
You say I can customize even further this controller?!
The elite 2 does have that software
The Elite 2 has full customisation in the xbox app
Is thrust master wired?
Yes
I play Rocket League and I use lb as my drift and I like to be able to reverse and drift at the same time with 1 finger. Can't do that on the thrustmaster unfortunately. But, It's the only controller that offers square deadzone for console players. I hate the feel of it though. the buttons are way better. If only the elite had square deadzone settings Id be happy.... even though my lb on my elite started malfunctioning after 1 month... had to take it apart and fix it.... elites are a joke for quality.
The tm eswap is just a little big (well its just fucking huge)
Analog layout doesn't suits me on Xbox elite. Thrustmaster modular design solves this.
ordered 7 elite series 2 controller before i finally got one without sticky right trigger. 7. the 8th lasted a couple weeks. fuckin hate the series 2 cheap shit quality control.
It's actually impressive how amazingly well designed, comfortable, and high quality they FEEL, but simultaneously how fucking cheaply they really are made, cutting costs everywhere where it's possible. It's a joke to ask more than $50 for this piece of shit. I had the series one, incredible controller while it worked. And I really mean the whole fucking thing just disintegrated in couple of years, with very occasional, careful use. Never again.
I don’t recommend the Elite serie 2. I had to return 3 of these and still no luck. The A and Y aren’t alway responsive. As a pro Rocket league player, I will say this is quite anoying.
PowerA Fusion Pro, easy choice
No reason not to buy one of these. 7 months of using default series x controller, you've already spent the same amount of money on batteries.
Lol what? Are you talking about non-rechargeable normal AA batteries? Who on earth uses those in this day and age? Eneloops have been on the market for like 15 years now, and even before that there were normal NiMh cells for cheap (I remember when my dad transitioned everything in our household to rechargeable AA cells in the late 90s).
Stop buying batteries do yourself a favor and buy rechargeable batteries.
@@poppychalupa9390 lol do urself a favor and buy a good controller

Eswap pro x is so much better then the elite 2, best sticks in the game and you can easily replace them for 20$ where as when the elite sticks start to drift (which mine did out of box) the controller needs to be replaced.
bro get that xbox out of that cubby lol. you need 4 inches of space from all vents. the back ones and tops ones need 4 inches. heat not exiting how it should could cause issues long term
Elite 2 is literally garbage. I had 3 of them and they buttons go unresponsive every time! R2

I bought and test both so I can give you a simple answer:
Buy Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro.
Also for your information is true that:
- eSwap X Pro is bigger than elite 2 however is only a little bit (mid hands can use it 100%);
- with elite 2 wireless u will have better confort (nice rubbers all over the controller);
- the elite 2 wireless don't come factory calibrated;
- the buttons ABXY of ALL series 2 wireless are bad (if you press without full pressure the buttons don't register);
- eSwap X Pro have amazing ABXY buttons and more precise joys.
- If you have a series 2 wireless and don't agree with me, just go to your windows control panel, gamepads, and check the buttons there. if you do 100 light clicks on the buttons especially (A and Y) you will notice what I'm saying.
Now take your choice..
I bought a Series 2 Wireless and in the next day I was swapping for eSwap X Pro and I'm 100% happy.
If you haven’t used the thrustmaster controller, it is the worst controller I used for fighting games. The Elite is the way to go with its dpad
In what way? I want to know because I find the Playstation layout better for FGs more comfortable. This is the only Xbox/PC controller I found that has a PS layout that isn't trash.
@@Adachie the depad has bad motion when having to preform certain combos. Anything that needs corner motions is almost impossible to preform
@@santiagoflores2272 Do you think it might be fixed with the "Fighting Parts?" I'm still leaning towards it but would like your opinion on the extra parts you could get or is it something with the controller itself.
@@Adachie I haven’t seen any accessories for the dpad, and you’d think they would include it
@@santiagoflores2272 It's probably because he didn't buy it. Also I must have not been paying attention and just noticed the Eswap is wired which might be a hard push for me. I wanted an Xbox controller for its nativity and Bluetooth, but if its wired I might just stay with a plugged-in PS4 controller on my PC.
Very useful
Elite..... till the first stick drift.... still no solution Microsoft?.... o right, just order a new controller.... and just wait till that tiny USB3 port gets damaged because why give it any support... so Elite yet so fragile... is it a girls controller? do we even supposed to touch it?
I only hope Thrustmaster does not go cheep on the Sticks quality, so far mine feels great and I just got that tiny steering wheel to swap it for the D-pad, I mean how cool is that!
I have the first gen elite controller and I'm sorry but I hate it! The damn paddles on the back are always getting hit on accident almost every time you set the damn thing down. Xbox controllers in general are too damn small! They are made for kids hands not full grown male adult hands! Maybe I just have big hands but come on Xbox can't you make two sizes of controllers? They keep making the damn things smaller instead of bigger for those of us with big hands! Perfect size my ass! Maybe if you've got dainty little girl hands! Now the Xbox 360 controller that was a better size controller! Still not perfect but way better than these small ass POS controllers they have now days! Corded oh well. I use my POS Elite controller wired (it's faster and more responsive). Of course the elite controller has the drift issue as well (I'm in the class action lawsuit over that crap too) that's the beauty of the Thrustmaster! Drift issue get another stick instead of having to buy another complete way over priced POS controller! I haven't splurged and got the Thrustmaster yet but I really think that's the way to go! It's bigger! It's got the advanced swappable joysticks/buttons so no need to spend way to much money buying a replacement controller just for the drift issue! It's got buttons instead of the damn paddles that always seem to get in the way. I won't be wasting money on another Xbox Elite POS controller again that's for sure! I only bought it for my PC for racing games but then I broke down and got an Xbox One S to play PUBG with some buddies on console and man I hate shooting games where you have to use a slow POS controller! Keyboard and mouse is the way to play shooting games! All controllers suck for shooter games! They are all way to slow! (Yes I've upped my sensitivity as much as I could with it still being usable and it still sucks!) I think it's complete BS that you can't use a keyboard and mouse on any system! Xbox is Microsoft. Microsoft is computers. Let us use whatever we want to control our characters! Don't give me the BS that's cheating cause NO IT'S NOT! The same could be said for these damn controllers with the extra "cheating" programmable buttons on the back of the controllers! Auto aim or aim bot or no recoil that's cheating! Just using a better method of controlling your character is NOT cheating! Get over it console users! Mouse and keyboard is the way to go!
It's much better to run just the two lower paddles on the elite 1 and not all 4, some pros use 3 paddles from time to time but I've never actually known of someone who used all 4 .. generally if you must run more than two you'd allocate the 3rd paddle towards something that doesn't require a split second decision making and muscle memory like medkits in PUBG. Forget about trying to get used to all 4 paddles on an elite 1 controller, using all 4 paddles on an elite 2 controller is feasible but the controller is quite noticeably thinner than the elite 1 controller which is quite painful for my hands as it's just too small to use for a full game session, I wound up returning the elite 2 after a few days as it just killed my hands having to increase tension in order to hold it correctly ... My elite 1 NEEDS to be replaced here in the next month or two and I'm fine enough with the size of it + 2 paddles only but something feels wrong about considering buying the elite 1 6 years after release for the same price as an elite 2.... and to be perfectly honest every non microsoft "xbox" controller I've seen looks like it would feel about as cheap as an old 20$ mad catz controller.
@Goodliferacing yeah they keep making the damn things smaller and don't even care about people who have bigger hands. Why wouldn't a company make two sizes for people? That's so dumb and I feel they are missing the ball big time on that one! Yet another reason I want the Eswap Pro. That and the fact when it gets the drift issue like all controllers eventually do you can just replace the stick giving you the issue instead of having to replace the entire thing. There's really no reason to buy any other controller unless you have dainty little girl hands lol

Video stinks idc abt semigloss whatever he didn't even mention the elite controller stick drift issue

The buttons on the back would absolutely make me smash the controller to pieces.
been trying to use the back paddles coming from elite and im switching back. its damn near impossible lol
The paddles are completely situational and mostly pointless if we're being brutally honest. Just take them off and run it like a normal controller.
@@Lbdataz1469 the paddles mean that you don't need to take your thumb off the analogue to reload, jump, crouch or change weapon. It might be situational, but the situational situations are every time you engage with an enemy. That split second of your thumb off the analogue can often be the difference between winning the gun fight.
@@Driver987 i use paddles on elite series 2 these ones are impossible
@@HeyItsDoobie Yeah I have the Elite 2. It's a really good controller, the only downside for me has been stick drift on the last 2 I've had. It's easily controlled and not even noticeable when playing. It's just really annoying when you're doing certain things
Do not buy this shit controller :D My right trigger and 2 pairs of sticks broke within the first 2 months. Didn't drop or throw the controller a single time.
The d Pad is Not good at Thrustmaster.
That works Not very Well for fighting Games.

The best for fighting Games is the ps4 d Pad.
