I play with the elite 2 on PC. Love the feel of it. I use the sticks on full tension and only use 2 of the back paddles for warzone. Havnt found any abnormal stick drift issues like a lot of people mention but i did have one of the rear paddle actuator buttons fail. I returned it within the 1yr warranty period and got a new replacement on the day plus my warranty got extended for 1 more year from the return date. Im in australia so not sure of consumer laws in other countries but i was pretty happy as it costs A$250.

Running full tension all the time will cause stick drift 2x as fast if not faster. My first one i had i changed the tension and after 2 weeks i had to bring it in for stick drift. Using the tension kills the controller. Ive never used the tension after that each time the controller last longer than when i used the tension full

I have had an Elite series 2 for just over 2 years and have used it nearly every day since I got it. I have 0 issues with it. There's no real noticeable stick drift so far as long as I don't bring the deadzones to the absolute minimum, it works like it's brand new. The only issue I have is that my A button is a little soft and it has basically always been soft. The rest of the face buttons all have that distinguishable click when pressed down and A has always been muddy on mine but the A button is also almost always mapped to a paddle so it is more of a non-issue for me. The amount of customization you get through the app is way more than just button mapping too. Custom sensitivity and acceleration, how much it rumbles, where you want the triggers to register, there's a lot to it and each individual profile you make gets it's own series of customization on top of the button mapping. It's 100% worth the buy but I do have to acknowledge that I seem to be in the luckier group of people who just haven't had any real problems with it. Either that or everyone else treats their controllers absolutely horrendously.

I have the elite 2 and it works great ,love the paddles it has increased my game abilities tremendously.

This review is quite good. It did answer most of my questions and concerns I did have about the PowerA Fusion Pro and Series 2. The elite controller I will not get because of price.

You can do that in about 2 seconds on the power a... not really a selling. Point tbh. Pay over double for a controller for a slightly better feel and being able yo adjust tge tension of the sticks sound like you made a bad choice tbh.

The main 2 reasons I didn't wanna leave the Fusion 2 was b/c of the share button & being able to control the volume, but i found out about the Tuttle beach audio adapter 4 headsets, that can turn a regular headset into a gaming head set. Not only can u change the volume but u can eq headphones & the mic to fit ur style of play....I also can use 2 paddles so i turned the right upper paddle into a share button

I had an elite for 7 months and the drift was so bad it was not usable. The warranty is only 6 months so it has been a paper weight ever since. I bought the razor for half off on black Friday and it is the best controller in my opinion ever. I love the mechanical feel to the buttons. I have used it daily for over a year and no issues at all.

I was honestly skeptical of the Elite 2 and it was a little weird after a year as my Y button had a malfunction but it was easy to get a replacement and haven’t had a problem with it since. In total I had for like 2 years with the replacement

I had the fusion pro I played with it for a while and took great care of it never dropped it or anything like that and part of the trigger inside the controller just snapped so the controller was completely unusable for what I was playing believe it or not being able to shoot is pretty useful in halo so I later got the series 2 it worked super good I definitely prefer it it feel a lot more well made only problem I had was the weird bumper problem I’ve seen people have so my right bumper didn’t work but It was under a year warranty and luckily I sent it back like a year before the warranty and they emailed me saying they shipped it and I received it the next day

You can map one of your paddles as a shift button, and re map every button, so technically you could map a share button.

Having used all three (the Razer Wolverine as well) I much prefer the Razer version. I like the buttons over paddles, and the programmable RGB lights on the Razer are pretty sick. I have found the Power A controllers tend to get stick drift very quickly. Plus the Razer has another set of buttons called M11,M12 that can be mapped so I don't have to use my thumb to touch the 'A,B,X,Y' buttons.

This is a small thing, but for future videos of this type it would be helpful if you refer to the controllers by their names. In my case, and I assume I'm not the only one that ever does this, I was attempting to listen to the video while doing something else. You always referred to the controller as "this one" or a variation of that. If someone is only listening they have no idea which one "this one" is. No big deal, just a convenience thing for your subscribers I suppose. But it would be good practice in case you ever decide to do sponsored videos.

Prepare to take the elite controller apart at some point for numerous possible issues that may occur. My most recent one was the LB and RB button no longer being functional, which I had to modify to fix. Other than that, solid controller.

I have never had any issues with stick drift, just always bumper button issues. What do i do about it? i buy the controller at best buy and get the 2 year replacement plan. so when my bumper(s) hit that point of not working correctly i take it back and get it replaced and then get another 2 year warranty. if you buy an elite controller and dont get the extended warranty you are crazy to spend that much money on controller because it will wear out.

Thanks man!! Glad to have you on board!!

I have no idea what to get when every controller seems to break so quick. I still use the og xbox one controller from before they even had blue tooth. I just want back paddles

I've had my elite 2 for 1yr 1/2 now. No issues held up well even survived a few falls

The Standard controllers always last forever. I feel that they are alot more reliable in my experience.

completely disagree. standard controller is very prone to drift ... like ALL controllers. Still, i guess i’d prefer to spend 1/3 the price to replace the controller when drift sets in. But here’s a better idea - how about these manufacturers start using more robust modules or completely redesign the thumbsticks so drift becomes a thing of the past?

Honestly I think that these high end controllers aren’t worth their price when they can develop stick drift in months. I’d much rather use a stock Xbox controller that has a back paddle attachment (as long as it’s quality), and swap it as I wear out controllers. That or a really long warranty on parts for wear and tear. The PS4 back paddles as well as the backplate kits you can get on amazon to me seem so much more worth it when compared to the SCUF/Elite/120$+ controllers. Great video by the way, good comparison.

It's pretty dop

tried all three & gotta say the base model series X controller is by far my favorite. especially if you get a nice grip skin

I have all versions . The Elite series 2 is a very well built solid controller with unique paddle features and even the tension adjustment on the sticks . However , I barely used it and developed stick drift that I couldn’t dead zone . The Fusion is AMAZING . It is a smidge bigger so takes a little practice . The only BAD thing I found is the paddles are very delicate and susceptible to cracking . Lastly : the warranty process is WAY better thru Amazon !! Had so many issues with elite 1 and 2 . ( send it out and it comes back with a new issue )

I'm still on my first elite 2, I got it when they dropped. I had my first elite series one for years, too. I swear by them, I haven't had any issues. My first elite started to drift after years of use, around the time the elite 2 came out. I have no complaints with the controllers.

Do elite paddels work on the fusion pro as well? I lost my paddels for fusion pro and can’t find replacements.

For storing the Elite 2 in its case, and the stick issues, can you just take off the thumb sticks before putting it in its case? So it has none on when stored.

Hi everyone. I have only seen about 7 seconds of the video and I love your energy bro! I left a like on your video! I'm not writing this to dismantle this video or disrespect it if what I'm about to say in this comment goes against anything I'll see in the rest of this video. I just want to stop people for making the same mistake I did. For people that play Apex or other shooters with 0% Deadzone DO NOT get the Elite 2. I got it and had it replaced immediately because right out of the box there was SERIOUS stick drift even at the tightest right stick setting . I put a work order in and the replacement had the same issue so I just returned it and am waiting for the money currently. I'm not saying this to be toxic or anything, I just want to possibly save someone the month I wasted waiting for the controller and it's replacement just for both to have serious shot affecting such drift. If I can help one person not make the same mistake I did this was more than worth it. I'm not sure about the fusion P2 but the P1 I used was solid for 1¾ before the left stick started malfunctioning which is still very solid for a 40$ controller.

I bought the core and what I figured out is save the box and when your done put the controller in there and remove the thumbsticks

FYI stick drift is a non issue with the elite v2 if you have an Xbox or pc because the dead zone can be adjusted and programmed into any 1 of the 3 profiles and will carry on to any device you connect via Bluetooth as well.

@@SwerveNation yes sir! I would go just a smidge past that so you don’t have to adjust it frequently if the drift area grows. Every analog control has some dead zone to counter this effect. There is never a case where zero deadzone doesn’t have drift. That’s why I believe people complain about drift on the elite v2. They designed it to be very precise and have a low deadzone however that deadzone is so low that it will start to drift more quickly than other controllers.

Thank for the review I choose Elite Series 2 black and white controller😅. Controller mostly sticking because it’s left on the floor or flip upside down just take care of it.

I have an elite series 1 and 2 elite series 2. No stick drift. I've had the elite series 1 for 3 years no issues at all my son's actually using it now and it's still fine. One of my elite series 2 had a right bumper sensitivity issue after using for a year or more I fixed it myself. I've used all them daily anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. Best controller I have no complaints. But I baby mine I don't hit them slam them nothing like that.

Get a mat with a logo, the same dimensions as the top camera so you can see where it will be able to see. as not only a way to promote with a specific camera view, but also to let you jusdge the frame and use it effectivly.

Not a exactly a judgment, just an idea that I think might help

I think it's nuts that the paddles are only remappable. Why would i want to map buttons over functions? Would be great to be able to map certain weapons to them for DOOM Eternal, but nope. So i just use the Turtle Beach Recon to map grenades and and melee in Infinite.

Would you not be able to just take the the analog sticks off before you put it in the case?

Razer v2 chroma is my favorite, a little pricey but solid feel and good quality

The Elite 2 is the best controller for gaming. From changing tension in driving/shooter games, configuring the controller feel like an Xbox 360, to making or mapping buttons for every single game and making a profile for each new play style makes every time i turn on my Xbox more exciting. The controller also feels very personalized, and with additional parts you can further customize the controller. Wide pads help with driving games, replacement short paddles are less in the way for more rapid taps. The trigger stops are good but i barely use them. Only in fast paced PVP games. Overall if you can manage to get a working controller and treat it right, the Elite 2 will perform very well

If you want one of the best you need to try a Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro or a SCUF controller, they are SO much better and durable.

I have used a power A controller for my pc for many years. I have found the sticks to last longer than the original xbox one controller. I have just ordered a new one though because the left trigger does not always work lately. I die far too often in sekiro because I can no longer always hold block. I can deflect but block frequently does not happen.

Got the Elite 2... only thing I'm not fond of is the paddles. I have gorilla hands so having them so close to each other is a bit annoying, my PS5 I have a Riser4 mod on it that adds buttons on the back. Placement is great. If the Razer Wv2 was wireless I would have gone with it as I have a few different versions of Razer controllers and always loved the lay out of them.

Hey enjoyed your video. Which controller would you say feels heavier? I'm coming from just the standard Xbox One controller which was pretty light.

Bro my fusion pro 2 controller just shorted out on me yesterday 😔

Funy how things work, literally on of my fave dpads of all time on the Fusino

I was thinking of getting the Elite 2 but its way to expensive. Is the Power A Fusion 2 similar to the Elite 2?

which controllers are good with never getting deadzone, and have good customer support?

The Wolverine Ultimate is designed for Keyboard/Mouse gamers. That's why a lot of console gamers are not comfortable with the back paddles. It's a different layout that's more reminiscent of a WASD grip.

Yep dropped my elite 2 once while it was in its case and now the left thumb stick is no longer smooth and the right bumper skips when I press it.

I am a pc gamer. Ive used the ps4 dualshock 4 which i gave away a while back and now im using powera enhanced controller (not the LED one), and it works fine for casual gaming but I want something better. I have found a powera fusion 2 for 49.99, $54 after fees and a dualshock 4 for about $60 after fees. Which do u think is the better controller for reliability and comfort use? Which would u choose?

I got the Power A but dont like how the buttons stick out way to much. I feel like im going to press them at the wrong time.

I watched your video. I did want to offer a correction. I play on the Elite Series 2, and at 7:13 you said it has a 'Share' button. If it's the button I think you're referring to, it isn't for sharing. It's to toggle between different preset configurations that you can have. Which are up to 3 preset configs that you can customize in the software. I've not encountered a share button while using my Series 2 Elite.

I'm confused, if the power a controller is wired then how come you can have the controller disconnected from the wire?

My L2 started to drift when i press and release the trigger states like 10% press causing movement in the game without me pressing anything

I put in a minimum of 10 hours a week on my controllers My power As have always lasted about a year(common if your a heavy user) they are one of the most reliable controllers on the market....i would recommend them to anyone who puts alot of time on theyre controller and want a "pro" feel....also the extended stick has always felt like just the right amount of height qhere as others have always felt to tall ir to short to me

My Elite 2 has stick drift and the bumper buttons are not very responsive. I am really dissapointed considering the huge amount of money it cost me.

I have the Xbox Elite Series 2 and within the 1st 6 months the right bumper stopped working. Within another 3 months another button stopped working Luckily the paddles compensate for that bit also ruins the way that I wanted to use my paddles, which was for the face buttons.

You gave the elite a con cause it didn't have a share button. That's because it was created and manufactured shortly after the xbox one x and BEFORE next gen consoles. They haven't updated them even yet. Other than that, solid review comparison. The victrix is a brand new competitor as well.

I own an Elite series 2 for 2+ years now. After 6 months i had a problem with bumpers, stick drift and the rubber coming off. I had a warranty so i get my controller replaced...
