NEStalgia Whilst I know there has been tweaks over the years, the last couple of generations have been more 'revisions' since the original XB1 controller. The latest controller is essentially a version 4 XB1 Controller. The only controller color that's so pretty (at least until this one) that I really feel like I want it is that red Dual Sense. That's a thing of beauty. Today, we are excited to announce the Xbox Wireless Controller – Stellar Shift Special Edition as the newest member of the Shift Special Edition series. The Shift series debuted with Aqua Shift, inspired by the deep sea, and Lunar Shift capturing the awe-inspiring aura of the moon, but we knew that the Stellar Shift had to take it one step further. The Stellar Shift controller features a striking color shifting blue-purple shimmer that gives it a mesmerizing feeling of deep space vibes. Each controller has unique swirl grips that allow you to hold onto all of your gaming action.”

There's that part of me that wants the premium feel of the Elite again, and the part of me that hasn't touched Elite 1 since getting XS.... those two parts are warring BAMozzy Oh, yeah, definitely revisions. No need to mess with perfection, just refine it. The X1 controller was the best controller around, ergonomically. They just took it, shrunk it slightly, made a few trims and roundings of the corners and just made it that little bit more ergonomic. But man after a few hours those half millimeters can make a lot of difference. BAMozzy How different is the V2 from the V1? I loved the V1. I even have a spare (or 2?) I bought my X1X in part because I wanted the premium controller to go with it. The only down-side is it was much too heavy for my preferences, and that affects my wrists too easily at the angles I hold it. My big worries with the V2 are worries about drift, and that I still hate the built-in battery on the V2. The Play & Charge batteries being replaceable are so much nicer an option. That's one reason I never got the V2 to begin with was the battery thing.
