![]() This also meant the Elite was completely incompatible with mobile phones, which is a bit of a problem for Microsoft's upcoming XCloud game streaming service. The Series 2 resolves one of the biggest pitfalls of the previous controller, in that it required an Xbox Wireless USB dongle for use on most PCs. The Elite Series 2 dock also has a rubberized high-friction underside to help it stay in place, and connects to the carry case magnetically for more stable storage. The Surface Dock, for example, has added weight to prevent connected cables from pulling it around from its intended position. One thing dock manufacturers tend to get wrong is in the weight and underside friction of their charging docks and accessories. The controller itself is chargeable via USB-C, and the charging dock has a unique design that allows it to sit inside the provided carrying case, complete with a hole for feeding through a charging cable. Users will not be able to swap the battery out, however, Microsoft reckons the internal battery provides up to 40 hours of continuous gameplay. And I like them fine.Revealed by Windows Central last year, Microsoft has now confirmed that the next Elite controller will have an internal battery complete with a charging dock. What's your issue with the P&C kit? I use one in each of the 3 controllers I use in my separate rooms that either have an xbox or a pc. But a 5 year longevity simply isn't even a thought in the back of my mind when I buy something like this. I know everyone is different, and your preferences are totally fair. It was always a matter of sticks/triggers getting worn out or a cool new color released. And I never got a new one because of the battery. I never had any battery issues with my Dualshocks in the 3 or so years I used each before getting a new one. I don't think I have ever, in my life used a modern gaming controller for more than 2 or 3 years. I know a better or different iteration will be out by then. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also don't plan on having this thing for 5 years. So I have never had to go wired while playing, let alone bought a second just to have one ready. When I'm not using my controller, I charge it. Personally, none of those issues apply to me though, which is why I find it odd that anyone wouldn't want a rechargeable controller by default. You can also map social functions such as "record that" Some other things I noticed that I haven't seen elsewhere: The home button press is much more shallow and clicks.Īlso, the accessory app has been completely revamped, and there is now an option to map a shift key which gives all buttons alternative uses. Very happy with the construction of the V2, let me know if you have any questions about it. I know from the pictures it appears to have a seam that separates the grip like the original but it is actually just stamped on with the texture. The exterior is only 2 pieces, the front and back plate. Here's why: unlike the v1, the v2 grip is not a separate piece but is actually the same rubberized material as the rest of the controller, just with added texture. After taking a close look at the controller I am happy to confirm that it seems impossible, and I am surprised that this hasn't been addressed by people who received controllers early to review. So I just received the controller today and wanted to address this because the general discourse I have seen here and on some unboxing/review videos is that people are still concerned about the grips falling off like they did on the V1.
