Venom Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Accessory Kit – Blue

 

I have no idea what this is. Bought for my grandson who found it on amazon and I just bough it. I’m assuming it’s just what he wanted. There have been no complaints.!!!

 

So first things first, I originally decided to buy these as I have a terrible habit of wearing out thumb sticks way too quickly.
I searched about to see if there was anything for the series 2, and these were advertised on the Microsoft website itself, so I figured they must have at least approved of the company making them, to put them on there.

I have done any strenuous testing, but here are some thoughts/observations so far;

Firstly, everything seems to fit how it was intended to, which shouldn’t be a surprise, but is nice to know!

Secondly, I did try putting in the ‘+’ D-pad, just for a slightly different colour, but when it was in the controller, it was ever so slightly ‘off’ and it had a slight bit of movement that you could press down on before the button pressed as normal. A minimal difference for a casual player, but it was noticeable. Whether that’s just my batch in production or not, I can’t be certain.
But I did change back to the official one as I noticed it and couldn’t un-notice it! If it ever breaks, I’d be happy to use this one as a replacement.

I put the thumb sticks in, and gave them a quick spin, just to see how they held up. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between them. Except the knowledge that they were different, they felt like for like with the official ones.

I didn’t try the levers, but based on the other 2 things, I can see these being absolutely fine as well.

Overall, I think this is well worth the money, as there is normally nothing wrong with the controller, and I can’t justify spending 150ish on a new controller, when all that’s wrong is 2 thumb sticks have worn out!
