Is the elite series 2 right for me or should I skip it for something else?
​
For context, I love the xbox layout feel, and ive used xbox for the longest, but now with my transition into pc, im selling my controller with the xbox, so I need a new one for a PC
The vader 5 pro has been on my mind for the longest and i really love it, but today I just saw the elite series 2 at my local store for 121 dollars (for context, the elite 2 on amazon is 257 dollars so this is a steal)
Its second hand but i tested the stick drift and its not...horrible, but they give me warranty for 3 months + a store by me allows me to replace the sticks with tmr for 50 dollars..
But the vader 5 pro is 109 dollars flat id be buying it overseas through aliexpress shipping to my country south africa (if I had a better option I would use it but sadly I dont)
So im left with this dilemma, both to my knowledge come with a lot of everything I care about
Charging doc
Tension
Back paddles
Xbox layout and feel (the series 2 feels SO nice to hold and use)
The elite 2 isn't the core elite, uts the black controller thay comes with everything +the case
So idk, should I try to save the elite 2 and get it ASAP and deal with the consequences or go for the vader 5 pro ?
My budget is the budget of the series 2 controller, 134 dollars,
I live in south Africa, but I translated to dollars for easier understanding
Im playing on pc now, so neither is advantage since im giving up the xbox
I usually play sonic 3d games (not 2d) for honor, Minecraft , not often shooters or 2d games,
Id greatly appreciate any and all comments to this internal dilemma 😭
The photos are of me testing it out in store, comes with everything but..idk a lot of issues have cropped up for this controller but a lot of people also said thay "it worked for me for years, ylu just need to take care of it"
Can i get your guy's input please?🙏😁
