A:AnswerPer the release announcement, it has the capability to use back paddles however the controller will not come with them. They will be sold separately or if you have accessories from the first Elite series two controller, you can use those accessories.
A:AnswerThe difference in price is because this is the core. Does not include the paddles and extra joy sticks. Also no case, it's just the controller and a charging cable. I upgraded to this one because my previous elite RB was going out and I didn't need all the extras so I just put them on the new one.
A:AnswerThe paddles from the elite series 1 will work just fine, but you will need to purchase thumb sticks specifically for the series 2. The series 1 thumb sticks are not compatible.
A:AnswerI've had the same controller for 2 years, no problems. You might be hard on yours. I play about 3 hours per day if you average it out so mine get a lot of use.
A:AnswerUnfortunately, the black Elite Series 2 controller is not sold separately without accessories. The Core versions (like the white one) are more affordable options if you don’t need extras.
