A weighty controller it may be but the Xbox elite wireless controller series 2 packs in a lot, making it one of the most customisable controllers you could choose. It has thumbtacks you can adjust the height on as well as adjustable hair triggers so you can opt to hold them down a little or a lot depending on your play style. Once you do narrow things down, you can save individual profiles so that you can easily switch methods and games at the tap of a switch.
Comfy to hold thanks to a rubberised grip with extra triggers on the back to ensure you have plenty of buttons to tap as needed, it’s hard to return to a regular controller after this one. A decent battery life and an option to plug it in via a reasonably lengthy charging cable ensures you’ll never need to cast it aside for any length of time either. It’s pricey, but a valuable investment for the long term.
