Loved my elite series 2 until the covering started peeling off the back plate. Replaced the back plate but something is off and it now loses power/connection when not plugged in. Spent $30 on the replacement back shell. Then I spent $30 on an 8bitdo that works well enough. I never used the back paddles on the elite, they were too easy to accidentally trigger, so I din't miss them.
I love the back paddles on the elite. I find them perfectly sensitive and satisfying to press, and I find the back buttons on the SteamDeck to be too difficult to press. But yeah, durability is a notorious issue on those.
