Review on Gamepad Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, black by Ada Maachowska ᠌

In general, it is clear that a lot of work has been done on the bugs. Many wishes of users are taken into account. The behavior of the players was specially studied, what loads they applied to the controller and at what angles. Satisfied with the purchase. Pros: This is the third elite I have, the first two of the first version. Built-in battery. Replaceable petals have become smaller. In the first version of the Elite controller, they randomly worked when it was laid down on the surface, because the long petals protruded. They didn't hold very well and sometimes fell out during the game. Here the fastening was done better, they are inserted deeper (the lock of the petals is slightly changed) - falling out is excluded. The problem with the bumpers was solved by thickening the jumper, in the first versions the jumper often broke. There will be no backlash on the sticks over time either, so the base material is a 3d analogue on which a replaceable stick is put on. In the first version, the metal base was put on the plastic tip of the 3d analogue of the gamepad, and over time, the plastic was erased and the metal head with a magnet began to hang out. Changed the saddle at the base where the landing for interchangeable stick heads takes place. This is also good, as there are more teeth for the clutch, which leads to a secure fit and less head dangling. The surface of the gamepad is rubberized and rough in the grip area on both sides. Moreover, this is implemented as a monolith - one material with a common surface. There are no glued rubber pads as on the first version, which peeled off quite seriously over time. Three profiles against two in the first version that are switched and controlled by diode backlight. You can turn off the profile completely and the controller will go into default mode. The xbox website has recommendations for assigning buttons to different games that have already been tested and are best suited so as not to invent the wheel yourself. Adjustment of rigidity of an inclination of sticks that was not in the first version. Of course, this gamepad is best suited for shooters and racing in the first place. In fact, it simplifies the interaction. The only problem is that once you get used to this gamepad, it will be very difficult for you to use standard controllers in those games where you have already "stuffed" muscle memory. Has cons: I did not notice any serious shortcomings in physical performance. Unless you count the fact that the petals and interchangeable stick heads from the first version do not fit the second version of the controller. The petals themselves are a bit noisy. And it seems to me that the gap between the petals and the gamepad should have been made smaller. Feeling that you press harder and break something. On the first version, the gap was smaller and pressed without fear. The brightness of the central button seems to me not sufficient. The price is a little high.
