Microsoft Xbox Elite Controller review: Luxury gaming and customization, at a price. Elite Wireless Controller for Xbox One is head and shoulder buttons above the rest. Its price tag -- $150, £120 or AU$200 -- puts it in an exclusive class, but the Elite controller is one of the most customizable, comfortable and luxurious controllers we've ever used. by Jeff Bakalar. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. Microsoft Xbox Elite Controller. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X. Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Google Home Mini. Google Pixel 2 XL. The Good The Elite controller is an ultra-satisfying, high-end Xbox One and PC controller that offers an impressive amount of customization on its analog sticks, D-pad and triggers, and introduces back paddles. The Xbox Elite app allows for even more personalization, including the ability to remap every button on the controller. The Bad It's tough to justify that hefty price. The back paddles are very easy to hit accidentally if you're not accustomed to them. Rechargeable batteries would not have been too much to ask. The Bottom Line Its $150, £120 or AU$200 price tag certainly puts it in an exclusive class, but the Elite controller is one of the most customizable, comfortable and luxurious controllers we've ever used. Review Sections. CNET Gaming Microsoft Xbox Elite Controller. The Elite Wireless Controller for Xbox One and PC is one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held. It's head and shoulders ahead of other controllers for Microsoft's console and other platforms. The only problem is its eyebrow-raising price: $150, £120 or AU$200. Odds are you probably don't need to spend that kind of money -- two and a half times more than a regular wireless pad -- on an Xbox One controller. But for the privileged few, the Elite is an indulgence that delivers in ways no other controller can. It's immediately noticeable how much heavier the Elite is than the original Xbox One controller. It feels substantial and luxurious. Every button on the controller operates with flawless tactile feedback and satisfying smoothness. A matte rubberized coating wraps most of the controller, with the grips getting an extra textured detailing. It feels like you're holding a really high-end gadget. The included molded carrying case demands it not be left on a coffee table or couch. Impressive build quality aside, the Elite controller's main selling point is the massive amount of customization possible with the analog sticks, triggers, D-pad and more. It comes with three sets of magnetic, stainless steel analog sticks that can be easily swapped in and out. Two sets of concave-topped sticks, one of normal height and another twice the height, and one set of domed sticks can be mixed and matched to your specific taste. The analog ball joints feel really solid too and they have a certain buttery springiness that the original controller just doesn't offer. I enjoyed using the taller concave right stick for first-person shooters -- it makes precision aiming much easier. There are two D-pads included with the Elite, a traditional "plus" design and a circular, almost octagonal shape that makes hitting diagonal directions a bit easier. Both easy swap out with magnetic fittings. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X. The best iPhone asks you to think different. Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Excellent, powerful -- and pricey. Google Home Mini.

Description. The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller paired with the Xbox Accessories app gives you nearly unlimited ways to play. Create and edit configuration profiles for any number of gaming scenarios—one for the way you play Halo, another for fighting in Killer Instinct, and still another for how you drive in Forza. The app lets you store up to 256 different configurations in the app and save 2 of them to your controller at a time. Switch between them using the profile switch at the top of the controller. Since the 2 configurations are stored on the controller, they'll be at your fingertips whether you're using it at home, a friend's house, or a tournament. Buttons and paddles are fully customizable for each configuration. Choose from 14 digital inputs for each button. You can also assign the same action to multiple buttons. For example, use either the bumper or paddle to throw a grenade in Halo. The app lets you edit each button one by one, or review and remap multiple buttons at once. In addition to button mapping, you can select a sensitivity curve to fine-tune how physical movement of the thumbsticks translates to on-screen movement and control. For example, if you're playing an FPS game as a sniper, you might want to reduce initial sensitivity for slower aiming, but allow a fast response to react to an enemy sneaking up behind you. You can also adjust trigger set points. Floor it instantly in Forza. Or, give your trigger a bit of a dead zone to more easily feather the gas. In shooters, add a dead zone to prevent misfires or go the other way and make it a hair-trigger. That's not all. You've got 4 vibration sliders to adjust just how your controller gives you feedback. Swap left and right thumbsticks. Even the brightness of the Xbox button is yours to control. To start, we'll give you some recommended configurations, plus some game-based settings straight from the developers. Of course, you can always can jump right in with your own settings. It's all up to you. Available on. People also like. Halo 5: Guardians Local Server. Rating: 2.79999995231628 / 5. Controller X. Rating: 4.09999990463257 / 5. Game Controller Tester.

I have been using an elite controller for some time now. decided to try the app to customize. first thing, it said the controller needed to be updated. it ran, then said it could not update the controller. the controller turns on and windows makes a connection sound. but the app and my games don't see the controller now. 36 out of 41 people found this helpful. Bricked my Controller. I just updated to the latest version to play Halo 5. I then downloaded this app and began the firmware update, and then the app suddenly closed. Now my controller doesn't work at all and is just a $40 paperweight on my desk. Thanks Microsoft. 21 out of 23 people found this helpful. More useful than some realize. This app is essential to updating the firmware on normal Xbox One Wireless Controllers if you don't own an Xbox One. And if you have one of these controllers, firmware updates is ALL that this app does. Useful and essential, but really needs to be rolled into the standard Xbox application. This doesn't need a new app. 39 out of 46 people found this helpful. It breaks the controller. Do not use this app, your controller will stop working! 26 out of 31 people found this helpful.

Just straight up does nothing. Clicking "Configure" doesn't do anything. 23 out of 29 people found this helpful. What it could be and what it is are worlds apart! I paid $150+ for this controller. The beauty, quality, and aesthetics of the Elite Controller are 100% on the money! The controller looks amazing, is heavy and durable and feels unlike any controller that I have ever held! That is where the greatness of this controller stop. This app is useless for one who doesn't have an Xbox One. I own a high-end gaming rig that I built myself and I thought that owning the Elite Controller would give me an extra edge in gaming by giving me the ability to customize each button input. Its as if Microsoft forgot about PC gamers altogether when creating this app. That is strange because Microsoft specifically stated that this controller would be Windows 10 friendly. Which it is, but that is all. FRIENDLY. not USEFUL. If button mapping were 100% keyboard friendly this app would be unbelievable and up the sales for this controller through the roof! 14 out of 16 people found this helpful. Translate to English.

Triple the cost & more features but workmanship worse. Xbox Elite controller owner since day one release. First controller failed just after 3 months. Left bumper plastic clip broke leaving the bumper free to swing like a door. Upper right paddle button stopped working. After a spending several hours on the phone with MS Support they finally swapped the controller even though it had past its 90 day warranty. That's right the same warranty they provide for a $20 headset is the same warranty for a $150 Wireless controller. (Unless you bought the console controller bundle then you get the full year.) The replacement controller failed after 4 months with right stick drifting issues and the left bumper clip breaking again. Purchased 3rd controller from local store with 2 yr extended warranty. This one is now being replaced due to right stick drifting issues, bumper failure and paddle buttons not clicking. I would like to write about what I like about the controller but MS only gives me 1000 characters, I'm out of room. GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. 28 out of 31 people found this helpful. the only bad thing is the grips fell apart and did not hold up. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful. Wears out fast. The RB button broke within 6 months, left thumbstick will act up and move your aim in shooting games when not touching it after about 6 months, the rubber handgrips are also falling off. If it had a year long warrenty it'd be way better. HUUUGE waste of money in the long run, SAD. 22 out of 26 people found this helpful. Busted bumper. Controller feels solidly made. Fit and finish seem acceptable. But, within 30 days the right bumper broke, as has been extensively documented in these reviews and those elsewhere. In my case, the failure was within the 90 day warranty period. As stated elsewhere, this warranty is criminally short for a product of this expense. Purchase at your own risk. 27 out of 35 people found this helpful. I have had my elete controler for less than 1 year. I love everything about the controller (when it is working!) I knew I had a problem when the controller wouldn't stay synced to my Xbox unless I had the micro usb cable plugged into it, essentially making it a wired controler. I have watched countless YouTube videos on how to fix the issue. New batteries, power cycled my Xbox, updated controler. You name it is tried it. Microsoft suggested I purchase a new controler. My original controler that came with my Xbox still works perfectly! I spent 150$ on this beast. I'd say worth every penny if it worked. I don't make a ton of money and I'm just disappointed that my elete controler didn't even last one year when the original I have had twice as long still works just fine. I'm more dissatisfied with the customer service I received from Microsoft. I buy Microsoft products because I feel they are the best, but Microsoft makes it hard to be a loyal customer with poor customer service. Great controler (when it works) buy at your own risk. Once you purchase this controler if it malfunctions your stuck with an expencive paper weight. 8 out of 9 people found this helpful. Works great till it breaks. I agree with a lot of the reviews here. This controller is great in every aspect of gaming. Everything feels fresh and tactile. The weight was also a big thing that made this controller great for me. Unfortunately like others I only got to use my controller for about 6 months until the Left Bumper just fell off. I take great care of things and would never do something like throw them. So when this happened I was extremely disappointed. If you're looking for a great 6 month controller, this is it. (Model 1698 if anyone was wondering). 4 out of 5 people found this helpful. DO NOT WATSE YOUR MONEY. I have gone through two of these controllers. On my first one, the thumb sticks broke and for the second one the back rubber gripping fell off and the same thumbstick issue. I really don't see how they value this controller at 150 dollars. When issues come up on the controller Microsoft policy on a premium controller is absolutely crap. If you want one buy it but pray that you will not have any issues. 11 out of 14 people found this helpful. waste of a 150 bucks.too bad i cannt rate the thing 0. Back grips is coming off.right bumper broke.Must games i have tried to use the hair trigger switch thing.Doesnt work to fire the guns in the game .I wouldnt tell anyone to buy a elite controller.They better off just mailing microsoft the cash and keep using a normal controller. 20 out of 28 people found this helpful. Piece of trash. Keep loosing the buttons beacause they are on there with magnetics so whenever you flick up or anything like that the button flys of the taller buttons are impossible to use and the peddles on the back are way to sensitive wish I could rate a 0 star. 20 out of 29 people found this helpful. Quality is just the same as original controller. It's just a regular controller with more weight and more mappable buttons.

Use the Xbox Accessories app to configure your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. When you open the Xbox Accessories app, you'll see two buttons, Configure and Device info . Note If you have more than one controller connected, you'll see all the controllers when you move right. If several people are signed in, the assigned profiles will appear above the controllers. Device info. Choose Device info to rename your controller, turn on Copilot , and see general information about your controller. Select Configure to create and edit custom configurations for your controller. Your saved configurations stay with your profile and are available on any Xbox One or PC your controller is connected to. Get started by browsing in Community configurations and adding ones you like to your own list of configurations. Or choose New configuration to make one from scratch. Below these options are the configurations that are currently assigned to the two slots in your controller. The next section down lists all your saved configurations. Select one to perform these actions: Edit is where you do your customization, including these options: Button mapping - Use the top drop-down menu to select which button you want to change and then, under Map to , select the corresponding button that you want to remap its functionality to. The image of the controller on the screen will update to show you which buttons are which. This screen also gives you these options: Left and right stick sensitivity - Select Left stick or Right stick to customize and control how each stick responds during gameplay. Once you've chosen the stick you want to customize, you can select Default , Delay , Aggressive , Instant , or Smooth depending on how responsive you want the stick to be in your game. For example, if you want the controller to respond faster over a shorter stick movement, select Instant . You'll see a graph that shows you the response curve of the stick. Note Depending on the game you play, these settings will have different responses. One way to test your settings is to set Slot 1 to Default and Slot 2 to your customized setting. Trigger sensitivity - Adjust the maximum and minimum ranges of your triggers. You have two options for customizing them—with the hair-trigger mechanical switch on your controller or with the Trigger sensitivity section in the app. The hair-trigger mechanical switch works great for shooting games, because it reduces how much you need to pull on the triggers to fire. It may not work as well for driving games, since you need the accelerator to go the full distance for maximum acceleration. Adjusting the trigger sensitivity comes in handy here. You can change the max and min thresholds for the triggers. For example, if you shorten the max distance, you'll get to maximum acceleration with less pulling of the trigger. Try setting your two slots differently and adjusting in real time to see the differences. Vibration - Adjust the vibration sensitivity of your controllers. You can independently adjust four motors: Left trigger , Right trigger , Left main (in the handle), and Right main . The motors are at a default of 100% and can be adjusted down to 0%. When you adjust these slides, this changes the intensity of the vibration. Xbox button brightness – Decrease the brightness of the Xbox button if you prefer, down to 10% of standard brightness. This is especially useful if you like playing in the dark. Save to slot 1 / Save to slot 2. The slots correspond with the Profile Switch in the middle of your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. You can have two different profiles saved to your controller at one time. For example, if Slot 1 is your shooter profile and Slot 2 is your racing profile, just flip the switch and you're ready to go. You won't need to adjust any other settings. You can also do this while you play a game. Your configuration of the slots travels with your controllers. If you take your controller to a friend's house, the configuration will be saved on the controller and usable there. If you customize Slot 1 or Slot 2 on your controller on a different console, the new configuration will be saved to the controller and overwrite your old configuration. Make a copy of the configuration so you can use it as the basis of a new configuration without having to start over. Change the name of your saved configuration. For example, if your configuration is for playing Halo 5, you can name it Halo 5 or anything you want. Deleting the configuration doesn't affect the controller, it just erases the configuration.

When Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One Elite Controller, with all its knobs, sticks and paddles, at E3 2015, we all gasped, oohed and aahed. It’s quite the work of art, with its brushed metal accessories and matte black soft touch finish. And in reality, the Elite Controller’s announcement didn’t come as much of a surprise, seeing as the rise of eSports and competitive gaming has been huge. The new Xbox One Elite Controller is a customisable gamepad that’s quite the upgrade over the regular Wireless Controller. It’s primarily aimed at the seriously competitive gamers, in particular the ones that tend to mod out their pads for the aggressive edge. But with those customisation options comes a steep price – £129.99. So the question is, is the Xbox One Elite Controller worth it? Xbox One Elite Controller – Design. For your £130 investment, you’ll get a wonderful box of tricks. Sliding the lid off the box presents you with the Elite Xbox One Controller in its fabric-covered clam-shell case, which protects it when not in use, but also acts as storage for all the accessories. By looks alone you could be forgiven for thinking this is a standard Xbox One controller with a lick of paint. But the little moulded rubber holder beneath belies its elite status. The Elite Xbox One Controller comes with a pair of D-Pads – one a metal version of the regular D-Pad, but the other a faceted metal option – and three analogue stick choices. For the analogue sticks you’re looking at the standard concave diamond grip option, a taller version of these, and a domed set that sit between the two in terms of height. There are also two sets of paddles that attach to the rear of the controller, and a long, braided micro-USB cable, which is a must-have for those competitive sessions. All of these sit within the moulded rubber holder with the idea that you can store them securely when not in use, even when travelling around. In practice the spare analogue sticks and cross-style D-Pad all fit in securely, but the faceted D-Pad and the paddles come loose very easily, rattling about in the case. Sign up for the newsletter.

The combination of the new matte rubber finish and the diamonised rubber grip on the underside, you’re looking at a controller that moulds into your hands and stays there – regardless of how sweaty your hands get during extended gaming sessions. You get so familiar with the weight and feel of the Elite Controller, that the regular one makes feels cheap, rough and thoroughly inferior. Microsoft has ensured that by kitting the Elite Controller out with a mature, understated design. The colourful face buttons and plastic finish have been swapped out for a monochrome colour scheme and metal touches that makes the Elite look like a premium product. Both the D-Pad and analogue sticks are interchangeable, with the current option attached by magnets. While you’re playing, they feel safe and secure, but if you want to change them out for a new version, it’s quick and simple to do. The only issue with the magnetic attachments that I had was with the rear paddles. The Elite Controller can support up to four rear paddles, which can function as a duplicate of any of the buttons on the pad you want. Or, you can go without them entirely: the make-up of the Elite Controller is up to you. But these can be easily caught and dislodged as you pick up the controller. It’s a particular pain at first, when you’re getting used to have those extra appendages, but you will get used to it eventually. I’m just worried what would happen if you lost one of these accessories, as it doesn’t seem like Microsoft will let you to replace them individually at this stage. You’ll also find that the Xbox One Elite Controller has some rather lovely shoulder buttons. Gone are the overly-loud clicky bumpers of the original controller, with the Elite instead offering a quieter, more even response wherever you press them. Xbox One Elite Controller – Xbox Accessories App. But what takes this enhanced Elite Controller even further is the Xbox Accessories app. Available on Windows 10 and Xbox One, the Xbox Accessories app makes sure that the customisation options don’t stop with the hardware. The app gives you the option to rebind the functionality of every button, trigger and bumper on the Elite Controller (aside from the menu and options buttons). You now have complete control over how your gamepad works, without being confined to customisation on a game-by-game basis if you don’t want to be. The Xbox One Elite Controller can store two button mapping configurations at once. The controller lets you switch between them using the slider underneath the options and menu buttons. You can store even more configurations in the Xbox Accessories app and load them onto the controller as and when you need them. They’re great for those among us who find the thought of remapping every single button totally daunting – and trust me I did at first. The app also goes beyond basic button-mapping too. There’s individual adjustments for analogue stick sensitivity that manage the distance the sticks need to travel before they react as in-game movements. These include: delay (slow start), aggressive (fast start), instant, smooth and default. You can also adjust the sensitivity and dead zone of the triggers. The app even lets you turn down the haptic feedback and adjust the brightness of the Xbox light. For those among you that like things a certain way, the Elite Controller also lets you swap the sticks over, permanently invert the right or left stick’s Y-axis or swap the triggers around. Xbox One Elite Controller – Performance. In practice, for me the customisation started slowly. I began by adding two paddles for Rise of the Tomb Raider – one for sprinting and the other to initialise the Survival Sense. But the more I used the Elite Controller across a number of games, the more time I spent tweaking and analysing my button mapping. Take Forza 6 for example – a game where the back paddles really come into their own. Suddenly you’ve got the manual car controls at the press of a finger, which is especially handy because I don’t really want to fork out for a racing wheel that’ll clutter up my home. Instead, I’ve got the Elite Controller to provide me with more of an authentic racing experience, while still providing me with an excellent gamepad for other games. Elsewhere, I started using one of the Halo 5 presets to make commanding Team Osiris much easier, as suddenly I’m not having to reach down for the D-Pad anymore, but toggling commands using the back paddles. If you’re a fighting game addict, then the faceted D-Pad will also be a huge success. Although I’m using it because I prefer the feel of it under the thumb and the general look, I’m assured that it makes it a lot easier to pull combos in titles like Mortal Kombat X and co. Should I buy the Xbox One Elite Controller? Although I’m totally addicted to the Xbox One Elite Controller now I’ve used it – God forbid I’m forced to go back to the regular one at this stage – my recommendation comes with some caveats. If you’re looking to spend £130 on a controller, you need to seriously think about how much you play on your Xbox One and what games you’re playing because it is around £90 more than a regular controller. However, for your £130 investment you will get the ultimate customisable controller that will no doubt last the entire lifespan of your console – and possibly longer. The Xbox One Elite Controller really is the one controller to rule them all, with its mature aesthetics, strong customisation options and durability. You might just want to wait for a price drop before you buy. Is the Xbox One Elite Controller worth the upgrade? Should you really spend £130 on an Xbox One controller? Ever since Microsoft unveiled the customisable Xbox One Elite Controller at E3 2015, there’s been quite the buzz around it. Going on sale alongside the long-awaited Halo 5: Guardians, the professional eSports-grade pad has proved exceedingly popular and is still seeing limited stock levels at most major retailers. But as you refresh that Amazon page for the millionth time, you might want to take some time to consider whether the Xbox One Elite is really worth the investment, even if it can now be had for less than its original £130 RRP. Xbox One Elite Controller vs Regular Controller – Price. The first stumbling block for the Xbox One Elite Controller is the price. If you want to buy a regular pad, you’re looking at an investment of around £45 or £50 with the Play and Charge Kit as well. Due to stock issues, we’re currently seeing the Xbox One Elite Controller retail for around £175, so make sure you wait for some fresh stock before hitting that Buy Now button. Xbox One Elite Controller vs Regular Controller – Design. The most obvious change with the Xbox One Elite Controller is its visual design. It’s still got the same genetic make-up as the original Wireless Controller, but it now features a matte black finish with metal detailing, as well as customisable paddle, analogue stick and D-pad options. The interchangeable items can be swapped out for the other options you’ll find in the box, and it’s all done via magnets. Sign up for the newsletter. Get news, competitions and special offers direct to your inbox. It’s worth noting that the Xbox One Elite Controller comes with a braided Micro USB cable too, which is an absolute necessity for tournaments. Xbox One Elite Controller vs Regular Controller – Triggers and Bumpers. Although we much prefer the force feedback triggers of the regular Xbox One pad to the PS4’s DualShock 4, the Elite Controller takes it all a step further. Xbox One Elite Controller vs Regular Controller – Analogue Sticks. As we’ve mentioned before, the Elite Controller improves the durability of the regular analogue sticks with a reinforced ring. But there’s much more to the Elite’s sticks than that. When you open the carry case for the Elite Controller, the pad is kitted out with similar analogue sticks to the regular controller – albeit reinforced with metal. They’re the standard concave version with a grip around the edge. But underneath the controller sit two additional options in the case. First up you’ve got the tall versions of the concave sticks, but you’ve also got a set of domed analogue sticks that fall in between the other two options in terms of height. The customisations go further than that when you get into the Xbox Accessories app, with the option to choose from various sensitivity curves ranging from Delay or Smooth to Aggressive or Instant. Having the option to really drill down into the sensitivity of your sticks and having the choice of swapping out for alternative options is definitely a boon over the regular pad. Xbox One Elite Controller vs Regular Controller – Buttons and Paddles. Aside from the swappable analogue sticks and D-pad, the big bonus of having the Xbox One Elite Controller is the fact that the Xbox Accessories app allows you to completely customise your button mapping. You can even add four extra buttons using the four paddles on the rear of the Elite Controller. These will automatically be assigned to the four face buttons, so you don’t need to move your thumb as much – thus decreasing reaction times. For us, the paddles initially became useful as an alternative to the L3 and R3 button presses, as it’s much faster to sprint away from enemies this way. The Elite Controller can store two button configurations at any one time. All you need to do is program them from the Xbox Accessories app and assign them to slot one or two. There are some presets for top games like Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Halo 5: Guardians, Forza 6 or even Sunset Overdrive, but you can also take the time to make your own. This button mapping is something you do now have on the regular Xbox One Wireless controller via the app, though. You just won’t get the paddles. Xbox One Elite Controller vs Regular Controller – D-pad. With the Xbox Elite Controller you also have the option to choose the D-pad you’d like to use. Both are metal, for increased durability (and to keep your thumb cool). But one is the normal cross-shaped D-pad, while the other is faceted. The latter is our preferred one now – although it doesn’t function as much like the touchpad on the Steam Controller as we’d like – as it allows you to roll your thumb between options without having to reposition. It’s perfect for fighting games, as it allows quicker combos, and also it just looks more visually impressive. If you’re looking for the best controller money can buy, the Elite Controller is it – unless you like the look of the more garish SCUF Infinity 1. Microsoft has obviously honed its Wireless Controller design by adding vital tweaks and upgrades to make the Elite Controller, well… Elite. Start saving those pennies! Have you upgraded to the Xbox One Elite controller and, if so, what do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Xbox One Elite Controller review: The price of perfection. Price when reviewed: Quick verdict. It might be £120, which will be considered steep for a console game controller, but that is a small price to pay for perfection. And after all, serious PC gamers are willing to pay hundreds for mice and keyboards. Why should they have all the fun? Read full verdict. Beautifully made with robust design Customisable controls can suit each game specifically Thumbsticks and d-pad can be swapped out More comfortable to hold than any other controller New assignable paddles. Too pricey for casual gamers No rechargeable battery in the box. Until recently we've felt that the controllers that come with Microsoft's Xbox consoles have been far superior to the DualShock ones that have accompanied Sony's PlayStations. And we're not the only ones. We've often heard that hardcore and pro gamers have favoured Xbox controllers over the years. However, we feel that Sony significantly upped its game with the PS4's DualShock 4 controller and we've been less sure on which gamepad we prefer for this generation of gaming. Until now, that is. The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is, quite simply, the best game controller we've ever used. It is the ultimate in games-playing tools, and while it comes with a hefty price tag to match, there is no better out there. So why does it justify such a meaty outlay? Make yourself comfortable and we'll reveal all. Xbox One Elite Controller review: Better in every way. There is already much to like about the standard Xbox One Wireless Controller: it sits nicely in the hand; it's reassuringly hefty, solidly built; and the rumbling impulse triggers add to haptic experience that offers more immersion into a game. But the Elite version builds on that in almost every way. It is heavier and more substantial to hold, with more pronounced rumble in the triggers (by default). With grippier surfaces on the handles and a slightly nicer matte finish on the face it's nicer to hold too. It looks more premium thanks to silver finishes around the Xbox button and on the left and right bumpers. It is also less garish thanks to the A, B, X and Y buttons not adhering to Xbox's usual primary colour scheme. It makes it trickier to follow on-screen button presses for less experienced players – during games like TellTale's Walking Dead adventures – but the type of player this pad is aimed at will instinctively know where each button is placed without ever having to glance down. Xbox One Elite Controller review: Customisable controls. The same players will make best use of the Elite Controller's main selling point too: it is the most customisable controller there has ever been from a first-party console manufacturer. Mad Catz released a controller it designed in conjunction with the Major League Gaming Pro Circuit more than three years ago, for both Xbox 360 and PS3. It had swappable thumbsticks and plenty of other customisation options, and even took the form factor of an official Xbox 360 pad (regardless of what system you used it with), so the idea of a controller you can alter is far from new. And PC owners will know more than enough about reconfiguring controls and sensitivity of devices, with plenty of mice and other devices out there with those features. However, few are as elegant as the Xbox equivalent. The Elite Controller comes with three sets of stainless steel thumbsticks, that magnetically attach to the controller itself. You can have the traditional dimpled thumbpad, a rounded one more like DualShocks of old, and a longer thumbstick for more pronounced movements. The d-pad can also be swapped, with the new plate able to make way for a more conventional directional cross – both of which are finished in stainless steel too. Then there is the rear of the controller, which offers something completely new for Xbox: as well as two flip switches that can reduce the distance each trigger travels in order to add a hair-trigger effect for shooters, there are slots for four steel paddles. These paddles can be removed if you find yourself accidentally pressing them during play, but can also be assigned to any of the regular buttons on the controller. That way you can use them to specifically access elements of a game more quickly. Up and down manual shifting during a driving game, for example, or scrolling through available weapons. Xbox One Elite Controller review: App adjustments. There are also plenty of other options that can be manipulated through a dedicated Xbox Accessories app on the Xbox One itself. As well as map button presses, you can also change the sensitivity of the thumbsticks independently, and the triggers too. The amount of vibration in each trigger and handle can also be tuned. Even the brightness of the glowing Xbox button can be toned down. Pro players and dedicated gamers will no doubt spend considerable time adjusting each setting to make for the best set-up for specific games, and there is a switch on the controller to choose between two configurations so you can have one set for Halo 5: Guardians or Fallout 4, for example, and the other for Forza Motorsport 6. If you're not the sort of player who will spend hours fine-tuning your experience, you can also download configurations other gamers have designed for different titles. The app will list all those that are currently available and there are several available already – mainly for Microsoft's bigger games. More will appear as the community becomes larger too. The whole package is rounded off with a carry case for when you want to ensure you have the very best chance of winning games around a friend's house or in a competition. And pro gamers will be delighted by the inclusion of a tough, fabric-coated USB cable. In pro tournaments, you cannot risk disconnection so wired is always preferred in that scenario. The cable doesn't double as a charger, though, as there's no rechargeable battery in the box, just a couple of Duracell AAs. Which, for some, will be the controller's biggest, if not only, shortcoming. Having used the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller to finish Rise of the Tomb Raider and plunge into the wastelands of Fallout 4, we can safely say that it offers the most comfortable control experience yet. It takes a little getting used to, mainly because of the additional weight, but it now feels weird when we go back to our original Xbox One controller. We also found it more responsive during Halo 5: Guardians single-player and multi-player matches, thanks to the offered configurations available through the Accessories app. But it perhaps came more into its own, for us, when playing Forza Motorsport 6 thanks to the rear addition paddles acting as gear-shifting paddles. If there's one small gripe, it's that we'd like there to have been a rechargeable battery included in the box. The rear cover of the battery compartment features button indicators and any replacement rechargeable equivalent devalues the design immediately, but it's not enough to spoil our enjoyment of the device. It might be £120, which will be considered steep for a console game controller, but that is a small price to pay for perfection. And after all, serious PC gamers are willing to pay hundreds for mice and keyboards. Why should they have all the fun?
