Speaking of the trigger buttons, they're silver and on the top of the controller (as is expected) alongside the LB and RB buttons, a Bluetooth connection button and a USB-C port. The trigger switches have three settings, with each further restricting the amount of give when it comes to pulling the trigger buttons. You can essentially change these buttons and sticks as you see fit, to create the most comfortable gaming experience for you.Īt the rear of the controller are four silver paddles - two on each side - and two switches which allow you to adjust the controller's hair trigger locks. There are three settings available, with each increasing the tightness of the sticks. The tension of the analog sticks can also be adjusted, using a little screwdriver. In addition, there's a set of four paddles, including two medium and two mini, and a set of two D-pads: standard and faceted. You get a set of six thumbsticks including two standard, two classic, one tall and one white dome. The beauty of the Series 2, however, is that there are also changeable analog sticks and D-pad buttons that you can simply pop off and replace magnetically with any of the buttons included with the controller. On the front, there are the standard X, A, Y and B buttons, alongside the standard Xbox, share and menu buttons - and a profile button that we will come back to.
The controller itself is matte black, with rubberized grips covering both controller legs - unlike its successor, which only had this on the backs of the legs. On opening the box, the Series 2 comes in a hefty carry case, with a wireless charger pack (that can also be wired), a USB-C cable and a variety of buttons.
