This was one of MS best announcements (apart from the price), wish Sony would do something like this. The DS4 is good but it could do with some tweaks and improved component quality.

The only really awful part about the PS4 controller is that, for me at least, it seems like the 'stick' portion of the analog stick wears down faster than any other controller I've used since PS2.

I might have to try these, thanks
X1 pad is the best pad out there imo, this is a premium controller from the same team, they've already garnered a lot of good will from me. Controller Type S, X360 then X1. Best pads around for those generations.
There are some reviews are out there (that are positive) but id be surprised if it isnt going to blow people away.

I'd say the backwards compatability was the biggest, but this one is outstanding.
I am seriously impressed that they are dedicated to bring this product to market with steel parts too! Away with shitty plastic.
The Steam Controller sounds amazing, and I hear the build quality is good, but I've also heard it feels cheap even though it isn't due to its plastic construction and the finish they use.
Right now I use a Steelseries Sensei mouse, and it's fantastic due to the metallic surface. I've had rubberized controllers and mice before and the sweat from your hands, or grease or dirt, it sinks into the rubber and is almost impossible to get off. I have some Logitech mice which are just fucked.

Those paddles just may revolutionize controllers.

No, because then it would be in the wrong place, and that would be silly!
I'd be in at 79.99 but not at 150.
Looks good though.

Yes, I would have preferred this too.

Oddly enough this is the thing I am most excited about from E3. Most of the games which were announced/shown off will just be played for a short period of time. This controller is something I will use for years (hopefully, if it is as good as advertised). I seriously can't wait! Think I might preorder it.

That is a fantastic piece of hardware. Pricey but I'm sure it's worth the money.

do you have asymmeterical hands?

It's a shame that MS goofed so badly with the Xbox One hardware etc, resulting in a dwindled marketshare and the big shooters alligning with Sony. This controller would have done so much better, maybe leading to it being a standard feature.
Not that it still isn't great of course.

guys lets not go down this path.
Everyone has personal preferences, and mine is symmetrical as ive been a playstation gamer primarily ever since the ps1.
i also own a x1 and i just wanted to know if its possible. its not and thats too bad, but well.
but i wont pay 150 for it then. beeing able to play how i like would have made me buy it.

not really Scuf has been doing it for a couple of years now.

No. However I do use each analogue stick differently.
The left almost always has permanent pressure applied in any one direction, meaning that a relaxed as possible thumb position is the best ergonomically for prolonged use.
The right stick is used far less and is mostly used for short twitch based movements like camera correction. Sometimes it isn't used at all.
Xbox gets it right. And that's the end of this little controllers war. Let's talk about the pad, not Sony or anyone / thing else.
Scuf does lack the ability to change button assignments, joystick sensitivity and other things directly from the console. This all coming directly from Microsoft makes it a bit of a gamechanger.

Keep in mind you're trying to make this point in reference to a controller meant to enable you to never have to take your thumb off the right stick. If anything, Wii U Pro Controller-type stick position is the way to go

Still most excited about being able to swap concave sticks for PS3 style/convex ones! (^______^)

Yeah, something like that would make people like me, who are used to symmetrical thumbsticks from playing on PlayStation, consider getting an X1 more.
(Just so you wouldn't have to adjust every time you play on the other console.)
i like the idea of having two settings savable and instantly switchable. might be nice to have a vastly different analogue setting for sniping versus regular play in halo 5. pick up the sniper? just slide the setting to position 2 and snipe away.

This controller looks great.
Well, you don't have put any money down to pre-order and you can always cancel or return if you decide it's not for you.
The only risk is if you decide you want one later and they don't have enough to cover demand.

Heh as someone who drops his controller a lot this controller would mark the first time I would be worried about the thing it fell on rather than the controller itself. Just need to find $150 somewhere.
lmfao
i'll go through 2-3 controllers in a typical generation. if this lasts as long as it should, it might not end up costing a ton more. plus, it has HUGE benefits to the games i like to play.

It works for PCs as well, given you have W10.

Well, a lot (A LOT) of people got hands on with these controllers at E3 (myself included). I think the hands-on praise has been pretty universal (not so much with the price.. but same as it ever was..).
The controller is unbelievably solid, I played Halo MCC & Forza and both were great experiences. Getting used to using the paddles will take some time for sure though.
I'm on the fence for ordering one though, just because of the price. I can see it being 'worth' the $150 due to construction & materials.. I just don't know if I really 'need' it.

It's expensive but I'd put it in the same bracket as a good arcade stick. Like others, I'd need to personally try the dpad was before I'd ever considering getting one.
The triggers have less travel so you can press them faster.

Did the wireless adaptor for the XB1 controller ever actually come out?
Is that needed in order to use this wirelessly as well?

it lowers the amount of trigger pull it takes to get a full reaction from the switch.
also because its a hard lock inside the controller it bounces back off of it pretty nice.
this is what they said in the vidoc anyways.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
When you are shooting, you dont have to push all the way in. You can lock it at 50% or something. So its faster to press and release.
they make it so the bumpers only get depressed a bit. should come in handy with some shooters. as an example, when i play a shooter with a rapid fire single shot gun, sometimes i don't let the trigger fully extend back before depressing again, which doesnt register as a second squeeze. this should fix that and allow you to fire much more rapidly
I just say "xbox screenshot", or "xbox record that"
Soon I will say, "Hey Cortana, record the last 2 minutes 50 seconds and upload to onedrive when this match is over"
