I got an Elite 2 just in time for Elden Ring and the right stick had drift and the D-pad was wonky. RMA'd it and didn't get one back until 3 weeks after Elden Ring came out. :( The one they sent back still has the wonky D-pad but I can live with it.
The back paddles where amazing for Elden Ring. No more claw grip. But overall, not worth the premium price.
