For those who don't know MS announced an Elite X1 controller. It's aimed at hardcore/competitive gamers:
The amount of customization has never been seen from a first party. The controller is extremely modable. It's also $150. They show the controller and address that in the video. Will be able to use it on W10 with wireless dongle too.
@ 5:15 they explain why it costs so much and the high quality materials that are used.

It's expensive but the customization of it has never been provided before. You can completely re map buttons to any game with the separate app for any game. Also sounds like a clear step up in materials which is pretty important. I went through 2 DS4s that performed terribly and broke down not too long after purchasing. That was $120 in replacements right there.
I'll most likely get this for that reason alone. $150 over the life of a console isn't too bad imo.

I'd be a boss in FIFA with this controller. I feel that nowadays controllers are too awkward to be used to their full potential, i.e. to use all their buttons, and I mean specifically the shoulder ones. So back paddles replacing the L1 and R1 for me would be perfect.
By Retro Go To PostSeems like the same thing as the Steam controllerand also doesnt look like garbage.
Just three times the price
I would be interested in a PS4 version of this.
I might even be willing to pay north of $100. Just make the joysticks and shoulder buttons durable ffs.

By HasphatsAnts Go To Postwhoa. is that a flappy paddle for racing games?
Yup. Or it can be remapped to be whatever button you want. In the video they mentioned mapping it to swap weapon button in a FPS so you don't have to take your thumb off the sticks
You can store up to 255 profiles in the cloud. So if you go to a friends house with the controller you can sign in with your GT and acess all of your profiles.
You can also (I think) switch between two on the fly with the slider button.
Pretty much every aspect of the controller is customizeable.

Yep
But I highly doubt we will see Sony do something like this. The DS4 is such a cheaply built controller too. I think the newer ones are a bit better but still.
It literally took them years to get to the current iteration of the DS.
Found a official viDoc on it

It's a shame too, because the ergonomics and design are so damn solid.
By psychintellect Go To PostMaybe Sony will make one.
nah
you'll probably have touse SCRUF https://scufgaming.com/4ps/ if you want something similar to this on ps4
just pre-ordered mine my elite controller tho
By Smokey Go To Postjust pre-ordered mine my elite controller thoMore money than sense.
And please tell me this isn't how some people use a controller?
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postu gona help me tear kids up h5 smokey?
do u even x1 bro
By reilo Go To PostMore money than sense.
it's obv a quality controller. what is wrong with paying for quality
By psychintellect Go To Postsmokey what laptop should i buy
My laptop knowledge is suspect I can't help you there. All i have is a macbook pro as my reference. It gets the job done. Dunno how u feel about Apple tax tho
By reilo Go To PostAnd please tell me this isn't how some people use a controller?I know a lot of Halo pros used to do that because it let them do button combos easier. Probably people still doing that so they can use face buttons while aiming in console shooters.
By Forever Go To PostYou're only buying one Smokey?
Yeah
I got two pre ordered right now. One from Best Buy and one from Amazon. Mainly for backup purposes tho since this will be a niche product and I needs it on launch. Every impression from E3 I've read has been overwhelmingly positive.
Of course smokey is buying several, he gets a new graphics card every fucking three months and has like five backup PCs
And gondo I agree with the cheap ds4. Love everything about it except the sticks. Playing fifa destroyed my left stick and playing 2k destroyed the right stick lol

By ph33nix Go To PostOf course smokey is buying several, he gets a new graphics card every fucking three months and has like five backup PCs
Not true
DS4 has been my main but I think I'm gonna make the Elite my main. The ability to remap every button is too stronk on pc and x1.
By ph33nix Go To PostAnd gondo I agree with the cheap ds4. Love everything about it except the sticks. Playing fifa destroyed my left stick and playing 2k destroyed the right stick lolThat feeling when you're in the middle of a boss fight in Bloodborne and your R1 button sticks... D:
i clocked in about 500h on my DS4 and everything is still fine. the only controllers i ever had to replace are 360 ones. goes with the piece of shit console i guess.
By Dipro Go To Posti clocked in about 500h on my DS4 and everything is still fine. the only controllers i ever had to replace are 360 ones. goes with the piece of shit console i guess.I have 2 DS4s and the rubber on the analog sticks is fuct.
I'd pay more for a higher quality DS4.....not $150, but maybe $100.
I never had a problem with the rubber but on my first one the left stick wouldn't recongnize left. It would go up/left or down/left never straight left. I basically had to give up on DA:I till I got a new one because the radial wheel was unusable.
The rubber on my left joysticks was fine for over a year, but Bloodborne did them in.
More annoying to me is the shoulder buttons sticking.
Never had those problems with the DS3.

“$150 for a gamepad? Hell nah.” When Microsoft announced the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller, those were my first thoughts. Then, like a fool, I decided to try it. You can probably see where this is going.
Two Novembers ago, when the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One first hit the market, I’d decided that the DualShock 4 was superior to the Xbox One controller. To me, it felt a little more solid, a little less matte-plasticy. The shapes and textures made it easier and more comfortable to grip. I loved the opportunities of the built-in touchpad and light bar, not to mention the 3.5mm audio jack.
And yet I’d throw it away in a heartbeat for one of these Xbox Elite gamepads. They totally leapfrog the DS4

I think the biggest issue with the $150 price tag is the fact that the standard controllers are $60. If the standard controllers were priced fairly ($30?) then the elite controller could be $100 and nobody would complain too much.

Yeah I thought it'd be $100 tbh. Mentally I attribute the extra $50 to the MS tax.
But then again fight sticks and aterring wheels can cost north of $200 and can only be used with specific games. At least that's not the case here. Controller is clearly catered to a certain customer and they say so in the videos.

I should fucking hope so
By JayEleven Go To PostBetter than crippling your hand in some obnoxious tryhard claw shape to win.
It's totally fine that you don't like the comfort of holding a controller in the claw method, but calling it tryhard is incredibly dismissive to people who either A) play Southpaw (like myself) and B) Enjoy the niftiness of using your index for face buttons.

It ain't that serious. You're playing videogames. Relax.
tryhard is such a dumb word
yeah lets all embrace mediocrity because not being shit at something is something to be proud of

Sounds like something a tryhard would say.
As if being really good at a videogame means anything to anyone but you. Nigga please. It's not like I'm talking about writing a thesis or building a house. Shut the fuck up, you sound like a crybaby.
