Xbox Elite Wireless Controller.
The world’s most advanced controller.
Get free shipping and hassle-free returns when you buy direct from Microsoft Store.
$149.99** MSRP.
Improved performance and fit.
The Xbox Elite controller adapts to your hand size and play style with configurations that can improve accuracy, speed, and reach with thumbsticks of different shapes and sizes. Swap between a variety of metal thumbsticks and D-pads for personalized control and ergonomics.
Interchangeable paddles.
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller has four slots for interchangeable paddles that you can attach or remove without any tools. The paddles give your fingers more control, so you don’t have to take your thumbs off the thumbstick to execute intricate jump, aim, and shoot combinations. With the app*, you can assign a wide range of inputs to each paddle.
Hair trigger locks.
With the flip of the Hair Trigger Locks, you can fire faster and save valuable time with each trigger pull. Hair Trigger Locks stop the trigger movement after the shot and get you ready for the next one. Simply flip the switch again to get back to full-range trigger motion, or use the app to further fine-tune your settings.
Limitless customization in the app.
Customize your experience even further with an easy-to-use app.* Adjust trigger min/max values, thumbstick sensitivities, button assignments, and more. Create as many controller profiles as you like in the app and instantly change between 2 of them in game with the built-in Profile Switch.
Designed for performance.
Every detail is designed to meet the demands of competitive gamers: low-friction, reinforced rings around each thumbstick minimize wear and provide buttery-smooth action while the rubberized diamond grip gives the controller a substantial feel and added stability. The enhanced grip allows you to hold the controller with less effort. The soft-touch finish on the top case provides a luxurious feel.

Xbox One Controller.
Tens of millions of dollars have gone into the development of the Xbox One controller and hundreds of mockups were created in order for Microsoft to nail the perfect design of the Xbox One controller, without throwing out the so much loved Xbox 360 design. At a glance, the Xbox One Controller is quite similar to the Xbox 360's Controller, with a different handle contour, but with off-set analog sticks, the A, B, X and Y face buttons, a directional pad, and two buttons, Menu and View, where Start and Back were. Microsoft has confirmed via twitter that up to 8 controllers can be used compared to the 4 supported on PS4. The day one controller has special text in the middle and has a metallic d-Pad compared to the standard black.
The controller maintains the overall design of the Xbox 360 controller but features 40 minor and major design improvements, according to Microsoft that makes the controller more comftorable and more intuitive. The directional pad has a more traditional design compared to previous Xbox controllers, and the battery compartment is slimmer. The triggers will have built-in rumble system called "Impulse Triggers" which is forced vibration built directly into the triggers, which is used in games like Forza.
EditXbox One Controller Features.
The Xbox One Controller features a slightly altered design from the Xbox 360 controller and some new features:
Trigger Rumble Motors Battery pack flush with controller Plus-shaped D-Pad (mechanical) Haptic feedback triggers Grip texture around sticks Faster response time Micro-USB port IR sensors for Kinect interactivity.
EditCharging and Battery.
Charging your Xbox One controller will be done via micro-USB cable (not included) . The controller will take standard or rechargeable AA batteries in a new integrated battery compartment that doesn't bulge out as it did previously. When you plug a micro-USB cable into the controller for wired play the internal radio is shut off and all data is transmitted through the wire. In this mode the controller can be used without batteries.
The new controller will also feature a low power state to help conserve battery life when it is not in use, so you can rest assured knowing that it won't be needlessly draining energy while watching a movie or when away from the console. [1]
EditHeadset.
Audio delivery through the Xbox One Chat Headset (which is included with the console) will be a higher quality than what Xbox 360 users have become accustomed to, thanks to an improved data transfer rate with three times the sampling rate between the controller and console. According to Microsoft, communication can be clearer than when speaking on a telephone. [2]
It has also been announced that the new controller will NOT work with current headsets. [n] This could mean a focus on using the chat capabilities of the Kinect 2 or possibly a new type of headset being made. A chat headset with volume and mute controls come included with every Xbox One, both Day One and regular editions.
EditSyncing.
The controller will utilize both invisible reflective technology and LEDs to communicate with the console and Kinect, which will make syncing the devices a simple task. The technology can also be used so that Kinect can pair the controller with the person holding it, so that if a couple of friends were enjoying a multi-player game, the console can configure the split-screen positions based on where each is sitting. [3]
EditXbox One Controller Button Names.
The Xbox One Controller introduces two new buttons on Xbox where Start and Back appeared on Xbox 360. These buttons are named 'Menu' and 'View', similar to how Sony shook things up this time around with 'Options' and 'Share' [n]
Menu : "The Menu button (on the right) will bring up context-specific menus which game and app developers can design to enhance the user experience. The Menu button could be used in scenarios such as bringing up in-game menus, showing video playback options, and accessing commands on the console’s user interface."
View : The View button "will change views or provide more information in games and apps. Developers will drive the function of the view button. Possible uses of the View button include viewing a map during a role playing game, displaying a leaderboard in a first person shooter, and enhancing the navigation of the console's user interface."
EditDay One Edition.
The Day One edition controller has "chrome" colored d-pad and a special stamp that shows it's a Day One Edition (Day One 2013).

Good controller.
I received this controller about a month ago and it works exactly as it should. It's a little bulky for smaller hands but it is still usable. Just try to use it while over a carpet just in case you drop it. When I received it I had to update it but it only took 1 min. I haven't tried using it with windows 10 yet so I don't know about that but Overall it's a great controller. I would definitely recommend purchasing it.

Came with the system as a bonus item. perfect for the holidays. works perfect, bought rechargeable batteries and works perfect!
I love the rumble feedback on the triggers, especially when playing Forza. It's like when pressing the gas and brakes it feels so realistic.
Always happy with Microsoft products, feels and lo.
Same good quality.

Update your Xbox One Controller.
When you update your controller with the latest software, you get full use of your Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter capabilities, plus important controller improvements. You can update your controller wirelessly or via USB. For assistance with troubleshooting update issues, see Troubleshoot update issues with your Xbox One Controller.
On this page.
An Xbox One Wireless Controller purchased in or after June 2015 can take updates wirelessly without connecting via USB cable. This controller has a small, circular 3.5-mm port on the bottom of the controller; controllers without this port must update via USB cable.
Follow these steps to update your controller wirelessly and to support the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter:
Sign in to Xbox Live on your Xbox One console and install the latest system update if prompted to do so. If you have a stereo headset adapter, plug it into the bottom of your controller so it can also get updates. If you're using a stereo headset adapter, plug in a headset (a headset must be plugged in so the adapter will turn on). Press the Xbox button to open the guide. Select System > Kinect & devices > Devices & accessories , and then select the controller you want to update. Select Device info , select the Firmware version box, and then select Continue . When the update is complete, you can update additional controllers. If they can only be updated via USB, see Update via USB. Otherwise, select the Update another button on the screen after the first update is complete, and then follow the steps.
The auto-detect feature of this update may not work immediately if you plugged your stereo headset adapter into the controller while downloading a system update, or while the console was turned off. To resolve this, go to the Home screen and unplug the adapter. Then, re-plug the adapter into the controller. You only need to update your controller one time to use the stereo headset adapter. However, if you plan to use the stereo headset adapter with other Xbox One controllers, you’ll need to follow this process for each controller. Additionally, check for new updates periodically as Xbox frequently ships new controller features and improvements. If you try to update a controller that was already updated, the system will check the controller and proceed to the success screen within a few seconds to indicate that it’s already updated.
Follow these steps to update your controller via USB and to support the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter:
Sign in to Xbox Live on your Xbox One console and install the latest system update if prompted to do so. If you have one, plug the stereo headset adapter into the bottom of your controller so it can also get updates. If you're using a stereo headset adapter, plug in a headset (a headset must be plugged in so the adapter will turn on). Plug the big end of the included USB cable into the port on the left side of the console, around the corner from the disc tray. Plug the small end of the USB cable into the top of the controller.
Instructions to install the update should automatically appear. Follow the instructions, and don’t disconnect the USB cable while the update is in progress. (The process can take up to 3 minutes.)
If instructions to install the update don’t automatically appear, you can start the process manually. To do this, press the Xbox button to open the guide, select System > Kinect & devices > Devices & accessories , and then select the controller you want to update. Select Device info , select the Firmware version box, and then select Continue . When the update is complete, unplug the USB cable. If you have additional controllers to update, connect them now, one at a time, select the Update another button on the screen, and then follow the steps.
Press the Xbox button on the wireless controller to turn it on. Your controller is now up to date, and you’re ready to use your Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.
The auto-detect feature of this update may not work immediately if you plugged your stereo headset adapter into the controller while downloading a system update, or while the console was turned off. To resolve this, go to the Home screen and unplug the adapter. Then, re-plug the adapter into the controller. You only need to update your controller one time to use the stereo headset adapter. However, if you plan to use the stereo headset adapter with other Xbox One controllers, you’ll need to follow this process for each controller. Additionally, check for new updates periodically as Xbox frequently ships new controller features and improvements. If you try to update a controller that was already updated, the system will check the controller and proceed to the success screen within a few seconds to indicate that it’s already updated. If you have more than one controller connected via USB cable, the update will tell you to disconnect the other controller and update just one controller at a time.
Update your controller on a Windows 10 PC by using the Xbox Accessories app:
Get the app from Microsoft Windows 10 by searching for "Xbox Accessories." Launch the Xbox Accessories app. Connect your Xbox One Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
Note You'll be prompted to update to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition if you haven't yet done so. When the controller is connected, you'll see the message Update Required if an update is mandatory. Install the update.
Note You can also go to Device Info to check for an update.
The Xbox Accessories app is available only on Windows 10. Controllers that don't have a built-in 3.5-mm audio port must be updated using a USB connection and must have the Windows 10 TH2 Update (or later). Updating the controller over Bluetooth is not supported. Bluetooth requires a PC running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. See Windows Update: FAQ to learn how to get the latest Windows update.

Microsoft Xbox One S review:
Xbox One S is the best Xbox you might not want to buy.
Xbox One S is the best Xbox yet.
The Xbox One S is the most feature-filled console Microsoft has ever made, but that doesn't mean you should buy it.

The Good The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick. It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games. The updated controller works with other Bluetooth devices, too.
The Bad 4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017.
The Bottom Line The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box.
Review Sections.
CNET Gaming Consoles Microsoft Xbox One S.
Update 8/4/16: Several spec teardown reports have uncovered slight difference in the graphical hardware performance of Xbox One S. Specifically, Xbox One S has a small GPU clock increase of 914 MHz from 853 MHz and an ESRAM bandwidth increase of 219 GB/s from 204 GB/s. These bumps are only noticeable in-game in a small number of situations. In fact, they exist only as an bonus side effect of Microsoft ensuring HDR content performs without a hitch.
This is more like it.
The Xbox One S is the version of the console that Microsoft should've first released back in 2013 instead of the lumbering beast that we got. It's better in a number of ways, making it even more of a worthy alternative to Sony's PlayStation 4.
Xbox One S offers a far more attractive enclosure, options for a bigger hard drive, a slightly redesigned controller and some video perks for owners of 4K TVs. It starts at $300, £250 or AU$400 for the 500GB version; $350, £300 or AU$500 for a 1TB model; and $400, £350 or AU$549 for 2TB.
That last model is available to buy as of today in the US (and includes the vertical stand that otherwise costs $20 when purchased separately in the US), while those with the smaller hard drives will be available later in August, bundled with games such as Madden 17 and Halo. (Additional bundles will follow later in the year -- including a pricier 2TB Gears of War 4 version in October -- and may vary by region.)
Sounds like a slam dunk, right? Unfortunately, it's never that simple. The One S doesn't get an across-the-board "buy it now" recommendation for two reasons. First off, it doesn't deliver huge improvements for anyone who already owns an Xbox One. But more importantly, Microsoft has already promised that the next Xbox -- dubbed Project Scorpio -- will be arriving in late 2017 with with the seriously amped-up graphics and VR-ready hardware that audiences are clamoring for.
When it's all said and done, the Xbox One S should be primarily viewed as a slimmed-down version of the Xbox One that introduces a mildly updated controller and provisions for 4K display. It's not going to warp you into a state-of-the-art gaming experience. Pragmatically, you're probably better off nabbing an older Xbox One, which are now being sold at fire-sale prices. But if you are getting an Xbox One for the first time, have an interest in the bundled games and aren't saving your pennies for 2017's Project Scorpio, the One S is certainly a good all-round gaming and entertainment deal.
What's new in the Xbox One S.
There's a short but significant list of improvements and changes to the Xbox One S.
Smaller, cleaner design: To start, it's 40 percent smaller, which considering its power supply is now internal, is impressive. It's also stark white, with some slick plastic moldings flanking the entirety of the box. I think it's the best-looking Xbox Microsoft has ever designed.
The One S can also stand vertically, too. The 2TB model we received for review packs in a stand. If you buy one of the other models, you can get the stand separately for $20.
4K and HDR video: Xbox One S gets a fairly beefy upgrade on its video capabilities, with 4K resolution (3,840x2,160, or four times as sharp as standard 1080p HDTVs) and HDR (high dynamic range, which is basically enhanced contrast and color). Keep in mind: those features only work on compatible TVs and 4K functionality only works with a small but growing list of compatible video content. 4K can currently be accessed through streaming video services such as Amazon and Netflix (as long as you have the bandwidth to support it and pay for their premium tier) and those new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Certain games, meanwhile, will eventually be able to take advantage of HDR visual improvements, but don't look for PC-like 4K graphics -- the games are merely upscaled to 4K.
So no, you're not getting native 4K gaming out of an Xbox One S. In fact, only a limited number of games will feature HDR and none of them are out yet. They are Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and 2017's Scalebound.
New controller design: The Xbox One controller has been updated for the S, too. It has a more streamlined top section, better range and textured grips. It can also use Bluetooth to connect, which opens the door for compatibility with other devices -- no more annoying dongles, at least on Bluetooth-compatible PCs.
The One S controller (right), compared with its predecessor.
Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the new controller's design. It's not a drastic departure from the original, but there's just enough of a change to make it feel cheaper. The plastic textured grips don't feel good the way rubberized ones do, but thankfully the triggers seem unchanged. The D-pad also feels slightly less tactile -- I even noticed differences between two of the new controllers side by side.
IR blaster and receiver: Still present is the IR port for controlling the console with a remote, but the Xbox One S also features an integrated IR blaster to control or power on other devices in the room.
And it still does everything the old Xbox One does: The good news is that you're not losing anything with the Xbox One S compared with its predecessor. Around back the console offers a lot of the same ports as the original Xbox One, though noticeably absent is a dedicated Kinect port. You can still attach Kinect to the Xbox One S, you'll just need a special $40 (!) adapter. Either way, the omission of a Kinect port should give you an idea of how that peripheral is regarded at Microsoft HQ.
HDMI-in and -out ports are still there, so you can still make use of the Xbox One's live TV integration if that's something that appeals to you, but I never found it overly useful.
Suffice it to say, the One S plays all existing Xbox One games, and a growing list of Xbox 360 games. It also includes all of the encouraging software improvements Microsoft has made over the past few years, including the redesigned interface, support for the Cortana digital assistant (using a microphone headset), compatibility with the Windows Store and, soon, additional cross-play options with Windows PC gamers on certain titles.
4K and HDR scorecard.
I want to personally thank the Xbox One S for introducing me to the hot mess that is the world of 4K and HDR formats. I considered myself fairly fluent in the language of home theater, but I was bewildered at the insane of amount of granularity and confusion that the format is currently plagued with.

The New Generation Xbox Controller.
Xbox One is designed to be the best system for gamers, and its new controller is specifically created for gaming. The Xbox One controller is instantly familiar to anyone who has used the tried-and-true Xbox 360 controller, and introduces more than 40 technology innovations that make it more immersive, precise and comfortable.
The Xbox team meticulously analyzed the Xbox 360 controller for areas to innovate, and conducted 20 research studies around the world with more than 500 participants of all ages, genders and gaming proficiencies to validate every proposed improvement. Some innovations were small. Others were substantial. By the end, after 200 prototypes, the team was confident the culmination of their efforts was a controller that was still distinctly Xbox, but refined and improved.
The team, including Quintin Morris (Senior Product Designer), Jeremy Lees (Senior Electrical Engineer), Dave Nelson (Senior Firmware Lead Engineer), Bryon Ashley (Principle Program Manager) and Navin Kumar (Senior Product Marketing Manager) sat down with Xbox Wire to highlight just a handful of the improvements that fans can expect from the new generation Xbox controller.
More Immersive.
Impulse Triggers – Xbox One’s Wireless Controller sports four vibration motors – a small one behind each trigger that adds precise haptic feedback to the fingertips, and a larger in each grip for large scale rumbles. This gives users a sense of in-game directionality and depth, creating rich, immersive experiences where gunshots, car crashes and explosions can come to life.
For example, in “Forza Motorsport 5,” Turn 10 Studios is using impulse triggers to provide players with precise feedback that enhances the racing experience. If your tires break traction from over-acceleration or if you drift on the gas pedal, the triggers emit very distinct vibrations. This is combined with the chassis rumble that conveys impacts, engine roar and driving over surface irregularities like cobblestone.
Higher Quality Headset Audio – The data transfer rate between the controller and console has been improved, allowing for higher fidelity audio in communication headsets. In-game chat over Xbox Live, according to the team, will be in many cases clearer than talking on a phone.
More Precise.
Revamped Thumbsticks – The thumbsticks are built for precision and comfort. They’re smaller and outlined with a knurled texture for better grip. Competitive gamers will be pleased to hear the sticks require 25 percent less force to move, allowing you to adjust your aim in a first-person shooter or execute a half-circle sweep in a fighting game faster and more accurately. The controller also uses advanced electronics that reduce thumbstick deadzone in the center.
Brand New D-Pad – The old Xbox 360 D-pad is replaced by a new design that pays homage to classic controllers and is architected to deliver more precision and tactile feedback for gaming. The D-pad’s cross shape is honed to provide accurate cardinal direction input, sweeping movements and combinations – important factors for sports and fighting games, and other experiences.
More Comfortable.
Refined for Comfort – The controller’s design is deliberately honed to the closest tenth of a millimeter to offer the most comfortable fit in users’ hands, and was tested extensively by a broader age group than ever before to ensure it is optimized for as many people as possible. According to the team’s research, this improves gameplay performance and allows comfortable gaming for longer periods of time.
Angled Triggers and Bumpers – The triggers and bumpers are carefully designed for performance and comfort. The specific angling allows for a natural fit for your fingers, and the triggers require a lighter pull, so squeezing it repeatedly is an easier and more precise action.
Picking up the Xbox One controller feels familiar. Its contours, heft and proportions are reminiscent of the Xbox 360 controller, and yet the augmentations the team made are evident. It is distinctly its own controller, enhanced with more than 40 technology innovations that make it more comfortable, precise and immersive – the ultimate accessory for your gaming needs.
