XB1 Elite Controller ($150)

I'm not surprised there's delays. Phil is only one man, and he's got a lot of controllers to make - that's obviously why it's so expensive.

Please. I'm sure Phil has at least a half dozen Chinese kids down in his basement slapping these puppies together.
 
You guys want an OT for when this thing drops? Share mapping suggestions and troubleshooting and all that. I can set one up if y'all are interested.
 
Got a relative who works for Microsoft, and he's gonna check his employee discount on the Elite controller. Wishing for 50%, but it'll probably be a $10 discount, and with shipping it would even out with Amazon or Target.

Kinda bummed to hear about people who ordered quickly getting delayed orders with Amazon.

I don't think they get much of any discount on hardware. My mother in law works there and we always ask and it's never worth the shipping cost.
 
Cool deal. I'll check the OT OT and get it set up. Start thinking of OT names.

- finally an official controller that's up to Scuf
- Monocle wearers have a new accessory
- We get it, it's too expensive for you, now fuck off
- Seriously, buy the extended warranty, dum dum

I'm not good at this.
 
This surely would be an opportunity to use the "now you're playing with power!" tag

No? Well then never mind..

Xbox One Elite Controller |OT| $150 lol...DOA

- Like the Jaguar, more buttons means more power!!
- More options means more buttons
- $150 closer to a keyboard and mouse
- Button mash at hair trigger speeds


I can't wait to get my hands on this thing.
 
Heard back from the relative who works at MS about a discount and they aren't even available on the employee page.

So that answers that.
 
I LIKE CONTROLLERS.

Can't wait to get mine, provide impressions. This is the type of controller I've studied/researched for years and years. It's been very interesting to see/watch.

Scuf announced a licensing agreement with Microsoft for its technology and will be official 3rd party controller partner.

Looks like Microsoft had to pay up to use scuf's paddle design. Wonder how much this deal was worth to scuf?

Whoa, good for SCUF then. I had assumed that company would've been basically dead after the Elite controller but I guess they were smart to have gotten patents on the paddles.
 
So I'm planning on picking up the Elite console in Nov., but i just wanna know if this new controller comes with the standard 3.5mm audio jack or do you need an adapter?
 
Ill buy one first time its on a good sale to satisfy the controller nut in me, by then it might even be better lol

Xbox One controllers are like an addiction for me at this point. So many to collect. @_@

That's awesome. I got the Titanfall controller as a gift but that blue camo one is sick.

Anyone know when we'll start seeing some full reviews pop up? I've been seeing a lot of Steam Controller stuff this week and it's getting me excited.
 
Xbox One Elite Controller |OT| Finger flickin' good

This or something that says "yeah, it's $150, don't like it then GTFO". You know whatever we call it you will have the non-xbox owners flooding in on how it is not worth, I would never spend that much, I will get it when it is under $60 etc. etc...

Don't worry. I've already made something to take care of that.
 
I'm almost more hyped for the controller than I am for Halo 5 and Fallout 4. It's getting weird.

It's not weird at all. this is going to essentially make every shooter that much more fun. people don't understand, having more optimal control over your movement increases your enjoyment of various games, especially shooters.
 
Thinking about buying the Elite Console that comes with the Elite controller. Not sure though. Not able to find any impressions on the controller.

Are there any impressions out yet?

there's not, but in the end what exactly are you looking for? It's an xbox controller with stainless steel parts, trigger stops, paddles, 3 different Dpads and a customization app with stick sensitivity curves.

the only negative impression from a reviewer could be how the paddles sit within his/her particular hands, may not fit someone right but with Scuff going to offer different shape and size paddles that problem can be addressed.
