One more thing, I was told it comes with a USB cable.

When you plug any Xbox One controller into a USB cable, both data and power go over the USB cable. The controller doesn't use wireless at all when tethered.

Makes sense given the Pro target market, those guys would never want to run the risk of battery depletion, wireless lag/interference or disconnects during a match anyway.

I still wish they'd throw in the battery pack from the play and charge kit.

Any other retailer other than Amazon selling this in the US?

MS Store.

Hopefully this is released before H5. Is it stupid/pathetic that I'm so hyped for a fucking controller?

I think it's releasing in October so it will be before Halo 5.

Nope. It's one of the most important part of a gaming experience.

This looks great, but at $150 I'll need to hold one before I bite.

 

[Doukou]

I hope they announce some sort of limited edition. I know its superficial but I don't want to give up my Titanfall controller

 

[Phionoxx]

Kind of debating picking one up for use on PC (Windows 10). I don't have an Xbox One yet, but might jump in whenever they get around to doing a slim / revised model so that their exclusive library has some more time to build up.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Got this on my Amazon wish list. If it ever goes on sale for a good percent off, I'll bite.

 

[Slayer-33]

The vidoc sold me..

Welp.

That's that.

 

[Cru]

Already preordered but is the $150 official?

 

[Darryl M R]

The vidoc persuaded me to buy this as my second controller. It's bad that I only have 1 or 2 games on my X1 compared to 7+ on my PS4. God Sony look at MS on how to do controllers!

I can't wait to see some of the truly ridiculous joystick attachments that come to this.

 

[Chill Penguin]

This is the greatest controller I've ever laid my eyes on. Cannot wait.

This thing just looks right/precise to hell and back. The build quality seems insane just by looking at it. You can easily tell.

I never in a million years would have thought to consider paying $150 for a damn controller. Maybe a racing wheel if that but a controller? Hell no..

This thing is a game changer (pun intended, lol)

Goddamn best controller ever.

I'm seriously considering selling both my controllers just to get this

holy shit it looks so good

 

[subwilde]

Wow so you can switch between full trigger and hairline? This 360 controller needs to go!

 

[Bsigg12]

You can adjust a ton more with the app as well. You can create ramps for joystick movement where it starts really sensitive and goes full balls to the wall speed after a second or two of holding it.

The normal Xbox One controller does this as well.

 

[Biker19]

You seriously think $150 is acceptable for a controller?

For that much, you can spend it on a Arcade fighting joystick for the system, or for PS4.

Or 2 $60 (w/tax) games.

[Aguero9320]

Looks absolutely amazing.

Don't need. Do want.

Will buy?

 

[Rex Griswold]

Damn, that vidoc sold me. It really is like an official Scuf controller but better in every way.

 

[johntown]

I like the controller but no way I would pay $149 for it. Not even $100,

 

[uncledonnie]

Damn it why did I watch this. Pre-ordered.

 

[Hendrick's]

Really hope this drops to a 100 dollar price point. Will need to pick up for PC.

I should not have watched this.

Being able to play Halo 5 bumper jumper and having thrust on one of the paddles is so sweet.

 

[shrek]

Looks awesome as hell but that price tag...I'll probably end up caving a few months after it launches lol

 

[JackBauer24]

What are the paddles used for, remapped Bumpers and Triggers?

 

[m23]

Yeah you can remap X,B,A,Y to the paddles. Useful so you don't need to take thumb off right stick.

 

[knightfolk]

What are the paddles used for, remapped Bumpers and Triggers?

Remaping of the face buttons is how I believe most will use it.

 

[Fury Sense]

This controller is the xbox 2.

 

[KenzinFive]

Looks fantastic, and I want it in my hands, but it will probably be something that I grab when it's discounted (to maybe $120 or $100). Still a lot, but it will help me overcome the initial sticker shock.

 

[AgentOtaku]

aw man

want so bad

 

[gus-gus]

Finally put my order in at Amazon. Now I wait.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

I love the idea of this but $150? What the what?

That vidoc really makes the features of this stand out and I'd love to own one of these one day. Maybe I'll never need to buy another controller... but who knows what changes will come in the future. Still, I think all controllers should have those under belly bumpers. They are awesome.

My gawd. Holy crap this controller is amazing. Everything about this screams premium like no pad before it.

 

[Duress]

lol taking the local multiplayer garbage controllers to another level.

One person with the elite controller, others with regular.

 

[Bsigg12]

That's a lot of potential joysticks.

 

[EchoChamber]

Will buy

Spoiler

on sale

Same

Wish it was 100$ but I understand stuff like this is expensive to produce

The regular controller works the same way -- but doesn't come with a usb cable

 

[Saintruski]

elite controller for the elite gamer? I'll always consider the mouse and keyboard the "elite gamers" go to "elite controls." If your getting this controller for competitive purposes I think you've been misguided especially if your looking for this on PC if you game on PC with a controller stick to cheaper 360 controller. I'm not sure how the console support is for keyboard and mouse is i havnt had a consoles fur maybe 7 years now my console passion died with the PS3...but really if it supports keyboard and mouse that's where you should be at if it supports it if your aim is to increase competitiveness. But I mean if it's shiny and has swappable shiny things and you put some nice marketing words on it I guess people will jump on it? I'd rather by a steam controller I think for the innovation or custom metal typewriter style keys for my keyboard and stick to the keyboard mouse combo than dish 150 dollars on this.

 

[Fletcher]

I get these types of co trollers are normally more expensive and for a specific crowd, but bummed its $150. I probably would've bit for $100.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Held this controller today and it feels just so damn good. Triggers feel great when locked, and the paddles on the back are nicely places and have a really light action about them. The sticks are super smooth, and in a nice surprise, the main Xbox button on the front isn't squishy like the normal controller.

Yes, $150 is a lot, but then again, so is spending $200+ on an arcade joystick. Not everyone will see $150 in value in this controller, but for a portion of the user base this controller will be heaven.

I'm glad i've preordered mine and can't wait.

Sure, I'll run right out and get one of those magical keyboards and mice that work on games that only support controllers.

Personally can't wait to play Destiny with one paddle assigned to jump.

 

[Cave Johnson]

Isn't modular controls something Valve patented prior to steampad? Can't believe they let MS steamroll (pun intended) all over them like this.

While M/KB has an amazing flexibility to be utilized across genres, you'll NEVER catch me using that scheme for 3rd person games.

EVER!

my understanding is consoles now have keyboard and mouse support

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Many gaming peripherals (headsets, gaming keyboards, mice) cost north of 300 dollars easily.

This product looks incredible. Now it just so happens that I want a Steam controller, but after seeing this I don't know if I should double dip. This is quite spectacular. You can see all the RnD that went into this.


This is great microsoft!
