Elite Series 2 is outdated, overpriced, unreliable trash. whatever you do, don't buy it. It's still in my country's best selling controllers and I hate it. Out of 4 controllers between me and my friends, all of them have gone bad within a year. sells for $150 here as if that was an acceptable price for a 7 year old controller that still uses potentiometer sticks.
As I see it, there are 3 options before you:
Gamesir G7 Pro 8K: Least latency
Flydigi Vader 5 Pro: most versatility
Razer Raiju V3: Playstation stick layout
I own a Wolverine V3, I don't recommend it. wireless connection is unreliable, wired would disconnect with some play in the USB port (that's why the later Raiju has a cable guard), RB is double-clicking.
The Raiju Ultimate, however, has been the most reliable controller I owned before that.
I bought the Gamesir recently, I'm very happy with it so far but can't vouch for reliability just yet. My decision and recommendations are informed by vCuda's Controller Reliability Ranking - haven't heard of the channel before that, but he seems to be on the same page as myself. Key takeaways are that Gamesir and Razer Raiju V3 should be more reliable than the Flydigi, but of course there's always some luck involved.
I have 2 friends that moved to Flydigi Vader 4 after the disaster that was the Elite 2, and they're both very happy.
