Her hands are adorably tiny, so even though it’s kind of insane to buy another controller when I already own approximately eleven billion that are compatible, I think it’s worth it. I’m tempted to even buy an extra one for my wife, who usually uses the original Elite controller. But now, at this price point, and given that most people don’t really need or use the back paddles, I think the answer is going to be the Series X controller. That doesn’t sound like it should be possible, and yet it is.īefore, if people asked me which the best controller was for Xbox, my answer would automatically be the Elite 2. The shape has been re-engineered to taper up at the top a bit, which makes it comfier for both bigger and smaller hands to reach stuff. But over time, while the Elite 2 can start to feel a little heavy, the Series X stays at the same comfort level. When you first pick it up, it feels about the same as the Elite 2, even though the Elite 2 is 330g with its built-in batteries (the Series X is 287g with batteries) (yes, I did get out the kitchen scales). The weight has been redistributed from the centre to the wings so it feels more substantial and less like a toy. While the Series X controller is only 6g heavier than the One S controller (241g vs 235g without batteries), it actually feels far heftier. The controller that comes in the box - and sells separately for roughly a third of the cost of the Elite 2 - is just as good, even if it is lacking the customisation and back paddles. Almost all the Xbox One accessories (aside from the Kinect) are compatible with the Series X after all, and the Elite 2 is just leagues ahead of the base Xbox One controller.īut, friends, I haven’t yet felt the urge to pair the Elite 2 to the Series X.
