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

The controller meets my expectations: pleasant to the touch, with convenient controls and finally a built-in battery. It turned out to be a good job on the mistakes of the previous generation, but for such a price, it seems to me that it should be simply flawless, but this, alas, is not the case. Has pros: Tactilely pleasant. Rubber grips, velvety plastic in the finish of the case, almost all controls with a matte texture (except for the AXYB buttons). Great analog sticks. There is no friction around the edges of the circle, you can adjust the elasticity for a softer or tighter stroke, several nozzles of different heights and with different “fungus” patterns are included. The control buttons on the bottom of the controller are more comfortable to use than they were on the first generation of controllers. The petals have been made shorter and the buttons tighter, so there are no more problems with accidental clicks. This is a very handy thing, especially in dynamic games. I have no idea how to play DOOM Eternal or Dying Light without petals. Built-in battery. Waited! It holds a charge significantly better with active use and retains it much better when not active. There are no more situations when the controller is discharged, although you have not touched it at all for three weeks. In addition, the controller learned to charge from the console in standby mode. Other gamepads, when connected, turn on and wake her up from sleep - there is no such problem here. Docking station included. Convenient magnetic charging. Simple and very convenient. And the controller is charged, and there is a place for it. Bluetooth module. Finally, you can connect the controller to other devices without unnecessary hemorrhoids. Different cons: Specifically, in my instance, the Guide button does not always register a click. It seems there is a click, but it must be pressed even harder for the click to be counted. I doubt it was meant to be. Too deep and small pattern on the handles. They get dirty even with careful use and are very poorly cleaned of dirt. Trigger limit levers. An interesting thing, but too crudely done: the collision of the trigger with the limiter is accompanied by an unpleasant knock and makes it feel like a foreign object just got inside the mechanism. In addition, soft plugs are installed on the levers themselves . which, in my copy, eventually fell off and were lost. Now in their place are sharpened pieces of plastic that dig under the nails when trying to switch.
