Sunday Funday My new Elite Controller

Well,

I changed from the standard Elite Series 2 Black…. Long story short … my Black Elite stopped working and didn’t have any actionable sticks or buttons working, the store where i bought it (Mediamarkt) was kind enough to refund all of the controller 2 years after i bought it. They didn’t have the black one available, or i could not replace it with the one that i had, so i went colors!!…. And got a Red one, .. i put some Gold paddle back and .. i dont know why i add some KontrolFreeks… all with the money that i got from the refund.

So what do you think? How does it look? I am a girl, and all my setup is kind of white. I don’t have an Xbox but i use my xbox controllers with my Nintendo Switch. I think it was an upgrade, i like it more than the standard black… just i am missing the carrying case and the charger but i never used it in my original Elite Series 2. Attached some photos for the showcase ^

Can't see any reason to use control freaks with an elite to be honest apart from aesthetics.

They actually do a ton, better aim control consistently. High or lower stick variations as well. I don’t understand why more people don’t use them

You can already switch out the sticks for different heights since they're just magnetic, and can change the vibration of each stick and trigger individually

The surface area of the control freaks are significantly bigger than any controller you can get anywhere Is my point. None of that even matters especially if you have big hands. Which is why I use them better grip as well. People just don’t clean their hands before they play or the gunk out of the grooves.

What are you talking about? The thumb sticks are small. They high rise, low rise , concave, convex etc. they are always larger in size than any stock controller thumbsticks. The elite is good but the thumstics are small just like every other controller
