XB1 Elite Controller ($150)

i pre-ordered. this is going to make so many people better at FPS. this controller is a must have for titanfall.


i want to know though, will third party pedals be offered? I want stuff in different shapes and sizes to try and make the best config possible for my hands!!!


does anyone know?
 
Man that app is probably way more control than I'd ever use. I doubt I'd even use the paddles on the bottom outside of shooters. I still want to buy this. Count me in as one of the dumb asses preordering.
 
It already was... during E3 :p
$89.99 was a steal, glad I grabbed it. That's like $68.50 USD....

Holy crap! I had no idea it was that cheap on amazon.ca. I really should have gone looking for it during E3. Probably would have gotten two of them at that price.
 
Is the price really $150 and is the release date really October 31st?

come on, MS. really?

are you saying it's expensive? you know how much this controller costs from custom shops with half the features?

believe me i've dealt with them and it wasn't cheap nor fun, i am so happy microsoft is releasing this controller.

This is an excellent point.

Just another option for gamers. I'm ok with the price tag tbh.

I currently have over $300 in xbox one controllers preordered, what the hell is wrong with me?

This post reminded me I have the Master Chief controller preordered. Fuck.
 
So do I...and the Locke one...

Couldn't resist

Yup, im giddy with anticipation. I think it won't just be an option for FPS players, it's going to be the ONLY option.

I imagine overnight a spike in quality of play by a portion of the FPS community in every game. Titanfall? this controller will open the door for that game to be played on console like it's played on PC.

sorry, my excitement is getting out of hand

Yea..I just thought about Halo 5 and how I can imagine getting my ass handed to me because there are people that have the advantages of this controller...

There goes $150.

It still uses analog sticks. This will not be comparable to a mouse, if that's what you're suggesting here.

If you're talking about the customization, then yes, I agree.

they said they will be partnering with 3rd parties for accessory packs at launch
 
October 31st? Could be wrong.

I'd imagine releasing in that window and on the week Halo 5 is released will provide excellent sales.
The 31st is just a placeholder. It is coming out in October though.
Can I pre-order that wifi adapter at Amazon?
I forgot all about it.

Source is me. Either believe it or don't. I guess I will see if I can get a pic from the list I saw it on later.
There are 2 Halo controllers that come out on the 6th. Maybe MS releases them all the same day?

Oh, they aren't shipping to my country, and it's apparently not available on Amazon UK. It'll probably pop up here closer to release. When is it planned to come out?

They haven't announced anything yet. Not even the month. It's just fall this year. I expect it around October/November.

Best slayers in the PC version use controllers for the aim assist boost. Given the speed at which players move, sticky aim is invaluable for them.

Wait...what? When?

I pre-ordered on Amazon.ca as soon as it went up during E3, and I still have it at $169.99. If the price had been updated to $89.99 then my price should have been adjusted (like every other game has been thus far).

Was it a temporary pricing/product error?

It was before the price was even officially announced. Very short period. I managed to grab it for $89.99 CAD. So I don't think the price will be adjusted since it was before the actual price was known.

Mines was actually price adjusted down to 89 and I bought it the same day it went up. I don't know what happened there.

it will never be as fast and accurate as mouse and keyboard but with the options available with the elite we will be closer than ever.
 
Preordered mine with halo 5 bundle yesterday. Gonna sell my old day one console and the current two controllers to my friend.
 
Stupid question, but will this work with the Steam Link (in combination with the yet-to-be-released wireless PC adapter)?

don't see why not since it is streaming from your pc anyway

to the pc it is just a standard xinput controller. all the customizations are done in the controller firmware
