PlayStation guy here, and I'm impressed. XBOX continues to innovate on its comfortable and precise controllers, and to think the very first XBOX controller was terrible. They really did up the ante didn't they.
+TheColonelAngel what is worth it's money? things cost what they cost. as a company you have to have good profit margins to run a sustainable business.
+livibam I just thought your explanation was a bit shallow towards the colonel. First off there's plenty of factors that go into a products cost. I'm also in actual shock that they are taking a huge gamble with this as its geared towards the competitive FPS types. Which lets face it Halo and Black ops 3 will be the only driving factors to get this right now.
QuickTim3 It's a fair point, though I think PC players use KB/M for FPS. I'm primarily a PC player and hateeeee using controllers for shooting. Now I'd love a controller that makes that experience more tolerable, but (in my opinion) if I'm already on the PC I'd never use a controller to shoot and I feel like these advantages on the controller are mostly geared toward FPSes.
+Instagamrr - Road to 20K! i agree. but i think any pc players that want a controller will look at this one first based on what it offers, i know a lot already use 360 ones. popular streamers too, some you might know :)
Nobody would buy a ps4 elite controller. People who bought ps4s were too poor for an xbox one and cant afford the premium console experience. They settled for what was in their budget and always try to find ways to justify their purchase of such a piece of shit.
+Declan Pillay That's why is called an ELITE controller for ELITE gamers. This is targeted towards people who would spend like $250 dollars on a scuff controller with all the same features. You see where I'm coming from?
***** Lol I'm not saying that. I didn't single out elite gamers as a whole. I just said it's targeted towards elite gamers who would spend $250 on a scuff controller with the same features. I'm in no way implying that all elite gamers are rich.
This is cool. Im into legally modded controllers and this right here is perfect. You can map buttons, i wonder how that works. is there software in the xb1 and controller to do so?
Why would you want an internal rechargeable battery when you can go to almost any store and get 4 rechargeable energizer battery's with a charger for $20 and never have to buy battery's again. Once the first two run out, you just switch them with the other two that have been charging and so on. Saves time and money.
Yeah, though the problem with that is that those batteries typically don't have an extremely long lifecycle. There are definitely exceptions but that's what I've experienced
Since I'm more of a pc gamer, I went with a steam controller for $50. It also has customisable controls and paddle controls plus mode shifting which allows multiple commands to be assigned to one bumper or button.
having those longer thumb sticks are nice, I'm glad it comes with some, because it is proven to work, I use the Kontrol freak ones right now. I don't use them so much for accuracy, but mainly for fighting hand fatigue when playing for long times.
One of my best investment! Xbox really killed it with this controller. If you know how to use it, you can have a nice advantage over your opponents depending on the game
PC & PS4 user here, just the aesthetics of this controller is enough, top notch presentation and it looks solidly built as well. I will consider one for my PC gaming for sure, just not enough to make me go from PS4 to Xbox just yet. I have to say though, Xbox/ Microsoft are slowly wearing me down after the whole 'secondhandgamesgate' before its release. Really nice product Microsoft :)
Jack Jack they're used to remap the face buttons. i.e. taking A, B, X, Y and putting them on the paddles so that you don't have to take your right thumb off the stick
I just ordered mine online yesterday from Gamestop and it should be here very soon. I traded in like 3 controllers and other stuff so I didn't pay a cent towards the controller. My original plan was to trade in enough things to total up at least like $70 so then I'd only really be paying for the controller. Because the controller itself is usually $64 and the software and extra stuff is what costs $150. I think it's well worth it. I ALWAYS had the problem in Destiny when I'm double jumping and aiming at the same time, but I can't turn directions and also shoot at the same time. That was always the death of me in crucible when I couldn't react fast enough.
Gotta admit that's a damn nice controller and not to bad for the price I mean you really gotta think about it it's an updated FULLY customizable controller, and comes with $100+ in additional components. Everyone might not be able to afford it but that's a damn good price for what it comes with and has to offer.....
Never had anything for Xbox before, but I'm trying to get an Xbox controller to use on my PC. This is kinda out of my price range, but man that thing looks so cool! I love how smoothly they can change the dpad, analogs and such.
Kinda stupid that as per this vid, pro players complained about the price of the elite, cause they "pros" if sponsored get a scuf for free that is valued at $180 + .... and why complain about the elite not having a rechargeable battery when u can just use a usb wire and never need batteries. .
True, like I use a thing called a "strike pack" that adds 2 paddles where the battery pack is, I miss wireless, but getting new batteries is not terrible, considering the battery life for the Xbox one controllers is pretty long.
It seems that not very many people know about this, so I thought I should tell you. It seems that everyone is disappointed that the Xbox One Elite controller does not have a rechargeable battery, but the reason for this is, you can take the battery(s) out of your controller and plug in the usb cable. This effectively disables the wireless functionality of the controller, removing any input lag that occurs with all wireless controllers making it better for competitive play.
People don't seem to realize this is a more costly option for people that want a Scuf controller but don't want to pay $200-$300 (depending on how you customize it). It's true it's gonna seem costly to people that are fine with just standard controllers. I'm one of those people as well. There are others out there that want to add more to their experience and that's what this is for.
This happened to me as well today my RB broke its a very small piece of plastic that snaps off. If you play hours of gaming please don't buy this controller. Microsoft does not care, Nor will they fix it. I was on the phone with them for three hours to try to get this fixed I was told by support and a manager to use super glue to fix it. Like wtf super glue. Sorry sir it's passed the 90 days we can't help you. I was told to just go buy another one if I wanted another elite controller. No thank you I already gave you $ 150 once will never buy this product again. Don't buy
+FREEDOM188 won't buy it again either. For a $150 not even 1 year warranty. They are not standing behind it's product!! Using my old $20 controller now. What a joke!!!!!
LOVE MINE! Except for the fact I have broken two, with all honesty, the first one, was dropped a couple times, the second one never left my desk unless it was in hands. For the price, I'm not too impressed with the durability, however, the performance is amazing.
Sony Only I expected that response. The whole "Oh it hasn't failed me so nope, your argument is dumb". Well good thing yours hasn't failed. All those people with failed Dual Shock controllers can now sleep at night knowing yours hasn't failed. Tsk tsk tsk.
Sony Only "League of loners" •Using an insult in order to avoid the facts. Tsk tsk tsk. They don't use removable batteries (AA) in order to keep the bulk of the phone down. The Lithium batteries they use are thinner. Yet you also ignore all those people that carry around power banks since phones can't even make it a full day before the battery dies (with some exceptions). "Where are all the pissed of consumers raging about the internal battery dying". •They're obviously there. Otherwise Apple wouldn't offer to replace broken batteries. And there wouldn't be guides to replace smartphone batteries if they never failed. Even then, you have phones that you can swap out the battery whenever it has come near it's death cycle. LG G4 to name one. What about good arguments? Do you like making good arguments?
Sony Only I wasn't making a case over which phone last longer. You're the one that brought up the phone analogy. It didn't prove your point at all, in any case, it proved the disadvantage of Lithium batteries. All you've been doing is nitpicking every comment I write. Where did I say it was unreliable?

And like I said, it keeps the device thinner. Since the phone is going to go inside your pocket, it needs to be thin and not bulky. #GetEducated
I placed my order for this on November 2 on the microsoft store and im still waiting for it to ship. Just for anyone wondering, if you do manage to get an order placed youre not out of the woods yet. Regardless id say im in better shape than most poor souls trying to get their hands on one. Im so stoked for it. Treating myself to a nice controller for breaking 100K gamerscore.
Nice unboxing video! :) I hope they will sell a nice bundel with game and elite controller included. I think that one elite controller is enough. Friends might bring there own controller or use a regular controller. I really like it. I'm planning to buy a next-gen console for christmas. Before this cotroller, I was pretty sure I wold buy the PS4,but this changes averything. I think I will go for the Xbox One Elite bundel.
sbn025 I didn't said the steam controller is good or that I even like it, I'm just amazed on how IGN presents that product that costs 150$ (they are like such wow much amazed) but on the other hand they are so critic about the steam controller that costs 1/3 of the price
***** the problem is not the money is how biased this unboxing looks comparing to the steam controller one. they even defend 2 AA batteries for a controller in years 2015 ffs
just a plain Scuf with 2 paddles is $150. 4 paddles, remapping, pro grip, and hair triggers is over $250. And then if one of your paddle buttons gets stuck (a known scuff problem) they charge you $20 to send the controller back to "fix" it. Screw scuf
I love the elite controller. Had mine about 2 months then the RB bumper broke on me. I thought this controller would last a while. Its on its way to Texas to get fixed.
***** thats the best part! You can use them on pc! Better graphics, mods, free multiplayer and if you're into it, even free games that cost 60 bucks on xbox :D
+Gnome in space Can't really get a good mechanical keyboard for less than the cost of this controller....people hating on this controller for the price are just doing it for the sake of it. Yes it's expensive, but it's also a quality product. Don't think it's worth it? Don't buy it. This isn't made to appeal to the mass crowd.
The price is justified because gaming is simply a hobby like anything else. Just how a musician plays instruments or an artist paints, draws, etc. When people get started in a hobby, they tend to buy something a little cheaper to help them get started. For example a guitarist buying a beginner's guitar and over the course of time through practice, they get better and better and are wanting to move onto a guitar that sounds and plays better. Naturally these kinds of guitars are much more expensive. Same exact thing with gamers wanting to get something nicer and that will last much longer. I can see why people don't agree with the price and that's fine. Truth is, you just aren't as invested in gaming as some other people.
I'll be coming over from 15 years of the same playstation controller so I'll be getting this because hairpin triggers for shooters and full length of pull for racing.
hey dudes you know with the new controllers and the A40s you can plug the headphones straight into the port at the bottom and use the device settings as your mix amp. it eliminates tons of wires and mess
I had a scuf for the 360. I'm now on the one and I just re configured my brain to play claw for shooters so I don't have to buy another custom paddle controller like this one. I would recommend this if you're trying to save some cash haha
I stick with default button layout on all my games but that doesn’t stop me from jump shooting or slide shooting. I just have to move my thumbs a little more. This would help me a lot more.
+IGN nothing about the infrared (IR) sensor who missing from this "Elite". How a feature from the original controller could be remove from a version like that, IR sensor are need to low power state that conserves your battery and for enables Kinect to associate the controller with whoever is holding it.
I sincerely hope this controller is more durable than the normal xbone controller. I would really like to put my hands on one before I decide to buy it.
I'm definitely getting this, not because I'm a pro but I don't seem to have much luck with my controllers.. I'm onto my 3rd since I got the xb1 & yet again the right trigger is creaking so its only a matter of time
Too expensive for me, but it looks like a damn fine controller. Already love the Xbox One controller in general. Might pick up a new regular controller because of its audio jack, but I'll wait until my current controller breaks.
PlayStation guy here, and I'm impressed. XBOX continues to innovate on its comfortable and precise controllers, and to think the very first XBOX controller was terrible. They really did up the ante didn't they.
+Earth Linger i wouldnt buy a controller like this ps4 or xbox. 150 for a controller? no thanks
+snowfortinmybackyard it's a good price why you being cheap
Acrux Portii if i save up another 150 i can buy a console think about that 2 controllers equal the cost of a console
+snowfortinmybackyard you can buy the console that comes with it so there's your solution
+snowfortinmybackyard The controller isnt aimed at you then. Its for HC players who are willing to spend that money.
I can't decide between this, or an Xbox one...
You need an Xbox one to even use it so..
you don't get it.
L
I see what you did there
Its the price his talking about....
The guy on the left was dying to hold the controller
God Squad ikr
Who shaggy?
@@TM-kn7gy that was the comment of the year lol
This is way better than a scuf controller, holy shit!
+Jays agree
+Jays im with you, i dont have an xbox one so it really makes my wanna byu one.
+Jays agree
+DeathModz - RoadTo1K agree
+Jays u right lol, im getting one if it goes on 99 bucks or something
The only people saying this controller sucks or is over priced are the ones that can't buy one XD
Or just don't won't one and think it's not worth buying. People have their own decisions.
+Error 508 I have a $150 keyboard and an $80 mouse, I can afford it, it's just not worth it.
I'm sorry but NO rechargeable battery??? massive fail! lost all interest in this now.
+halochamppp Who cares lmao the rechargeable battery cost about $40 for the elite
iLLmatic240 play and charge kit is like $20
I've pre-ordered the Elite Console and I can't fricking wait to get my hands on this controller!
looks nice but I dont think it's worth the money
+TheColonelAngel what is worth it's money? things cost what they cost. as a company you have to have good profit margins to run a sustainable business.
+livibam full proof explanation you get a 1.8/5
+EVAN DAVID AEGIES what are you teaching? trolling?

+livibam I just thought your explanation was a bit shallow towards the colonel. First off there's plenty of factors that go into a products cost. I'm also in actual shock that they are taking a huge gamble with this as its geared towards the competitive FPS types. Which lets face it Halo and Black ops 3 will be the only driving factors to get this right now.
i wish they could dim the xbox button's light because i like to play in the dark and that button is so bright that it draws my eyes from the screen.
Very nicely packaged; I must not be in their demographic though, I couldn't imagine paying 150 for this. Maybe I'd have to try it to believe xD
+Instagamrr - Road to 20K! Its meant to be the "best" controller ever made according to some.
***** Hmm, I'm not sure how this is better than a scuf aside from being cheaper (and kudos for that!)
their target audience is the hardcore players who want that edge. i actually think this controller will sell very well especially to pc players.
QuickTim3 It's a fair point, though I think PC players use KB/M for FPS. I'm primarily a PC player and hateeeee using controllers for shooting. Now I'd love a controller that makes that experience more tolerable, but (in my opinion) if I'm already on the PC I'd never use a controller to shoot and I feel like these advantages on the controller are mostly geared toward FPSes.

Just got mine, its beautiful, exceeded my expectations. very nice. Feels very solid. Love the colour scheme.
PS4 needs a response to this. This is such a great controller.
Sadly the only way they would come up with something like this is if they ask for crowd funding.
+Steven Lopez they're bringing gold, black steel, and two other colours of controller in, I think, so that should be cool
Nobody would buy a ps4 elite controller. People who bought ps4s were too poor for an xbox one and cant afford the premium console experience. They settled for what was in their budget and always try to find ways to justify their purchase of such a piece of shit.
+Jim Sharp PS4 was more expensive than the Xbox one,,are you that stupid, fanboy?
+Super Luigi Studios last time i checked 400
I have this. It’s so awesome. Gives me a tactical advantage in games like Rainbow Six and Battlefield.
Just got one today. Gotta say, the controller is really good. The extra triggers really help.
Might get it when it goes on sale or when my birthday comes around.
You'll be waiting a couple years lol
Ill probably get it on Ebay
Black Friday
+Michael Johnson says the black person
+Michael Johnson I doubt it will be on sale for Black Friday
This controller has taken my game from 0 to 100 real quick!!!!!
Anyone here after the trailer of the new xbox elite controller v2 people complained about the 150 buck for the elite v1 but the elite v2 is 180😂
My biggest complaint with Xbox controllers is that a rechargeable battery is not standard.
Beautiful! ps4 needs to have one too
Agreed
Agreed way way cheaper than a scuf completed with everything
to me this controller is worth 150 js

So hyped for this!!! Seems like it is definetly worth the money
premium shit, for a good price... i like it... it's time to retire my 360 controller.... lel
This controller is one of the most beautiful things up have ever seen
I would not say that I'm a heavy gamer but I want this!! and I also hope they will make the controller compatible with the next gen xbox.
+Noon.Alina You wouldn't have to worry about that if you were my girl ;D
***** It's a nice way of complementing a lady.
+Noon.Alina Off course you aren't....you game on Xbox nobody is a heavy gamer over there.
+Sony Only not true stop lying to idiots
+Raghu Vamsi don't insult someone you don't know
All gripes for the price aside, that thing looks majestic!
This controller looks so cool! :D
loving mine. dont regret spending the extra dough at all. Been using for past month on FPS games and haven't bumped into any issues yet.
An internal battery would not cost 30-50$ more...
Looks like its got incredible build quality, hopefully the controller life will be significant to reflect that.
This is cool. Im into legally modded controllers and this right here is perfect. You can map buttons, i wonder how that works. is there software in the xb1 and controller to do so?
+pasGedden7 Yes, code to download XB1 app is included.
+pasGedden7 Yup. When you buy the controller it comes with a code to download the app to map buttons.
Bee Meighan Also that feature is on the Xbox one new preview experience. You can remap all the buttons on any Xbox one controller.
+Shadowmark r (vXSHADOWMARKXv) I can confirm you are right as i am also in that program :)
Oh yeah forgot about that. Also in the preview program.
I just got this thing for Christmas today and it is so easy to use.

pretty much
David Jones not really
+Dirty Dan of course! A lot more! I mean depending on the game
im getting a elite for cod to have a advantage
+Dirty Dan if you know how to use it, you can take advantage (plus, it's sexy af)
having those longer thumb sticks are nice, I'm glad it comes with some, because it is proven to work, I use the Kontrol freak ones right now. I don't use them so much for accuracy, but mainly for fighting hand fatigue when playing for long times.
Look at the consoles trying to be more competitive with their controllers... So cute :)
The Elite controller looks great though.
It's funny because it actually is more of a competitive scene than pc's.
+venom wave lol, dream on.
The Steam controller isn't anything special either.
Aren't different pc companies competing with their different mice/keyboards?
One of my best investment! Xbox really killed it with this controller. If you know how to use it, you can have a nice advantage over your opponents depending on the game
designed for pro gamers
1 kills and 21 deaths and 10 assists
PC & PS4 user here, just the aesthetics of this controller is enough, top notch presentation and it looks solidly built as well. I will consider one for my PC gaming for sure, just not enough to make me go from PS4 to Xbox just yet.

same does anyone know?
Jack Jack they're used to remap the face buttons. i.e. taking A, B, X, Y and putting them on the paddles so that you don't have to take your right thumb off the stick

+venom wave lol!
+TheLazyFatMan He definitely said "The price of Two Of these Controllers." People need to read before they reply jesus.

just a plain Scuf with 2 paddles is $150. 4 paddles, remapping, pro grip, and hair triggers is over $250. And then if one of your paddle buttons gets stuck (a known scuff problem) they charge you $20 to send the controller back to "fix" it. Screw scuf
+Gage Scheiderer 4 paddle scuff cost at least 250 kid.
I love the elite controller. Had mine about 2 months then the RB bumper broke on me. I thought this controller would last a while. Its on its way to Texas to get fixed.
too overpriced for 90 bucks maybe
Scuf makes the same controller but for $100 dollars more so thats a good price
compared to the competition its good. i see a lot of pro gamers picking this up for gears halo and cod actually probably smite and ki players too.
+Gaming Globster scuf is overpriced too
+QuickTim3 this controller is amazing for smite
+QuickTim3 gears a pro game?!?
Microsoft produces high quality stuff. That's why i like the company and keep supporting them.
A mouse and keyboard are more accurate and way cheaper. Idc what people say, it's the truth.
I've seen expensive keyboards and mice for gaming and no they aren't cheap
Tony if you just look for cheaper ones you can get great quality.
***** thats the best part! You can use them on pc! Better graphics, mods, free multiplayer and if you're into it, even free games that cost 60 bucks on xbox :D
+Gnome in space Can't really get a good mechanical keyboard for less than the cost of this controller....people hating on this controller for the price are just doing it for the sake of it. Yes it's expensive, but it's also a quality product. Don't think it's worth it? Don't buy it. This isn't made to appeal to the mass crowd.
it's meant to undercut other controllers used by pro gamers, people.
it's not exactly something you pick up at Walmart on a whim.
LMAO Xbox desperate as always
Shadow Zylo Troll harder, lol
Trippze No I don't :p
hi sony pony
always
+Needle Really?then what does that make the Xbox One since PS4 bests it in every way possible XD.
The PlayStation ad that ran before this video doesn't fill me with feeling that this is a good neutral video xD
I just got these... I FREAKING LOVE IT
I use it for my gaming laptop
Something to invest in to take the best advantage on Star Wars Battlefront !
I almost bought a suff one then Microsoft came out with this and i am extremely impressed
I'd say that's the best controller I've ever seen.
This is the Best controller i've ever seen
that faster shooting is gonna make my trigger finger faster
I'm a PlayStation guy but I have to say I love the Xbox one controller.
I'm totally getting this for my birthday.
I’m gettin one of them for Christmas boys gonna pull some sick trick shots with it
The price is justified because gaming is simply a hobby like anything else. Just how a musician plays instruments or an artist paints, draws, etc. When people get started in a hobby, they tend to buy something a little cheaper to help them get started. For example a guitarist buying a beginner's guitar and over the course of time through practice, they get better and better and are wanting to move onto a guitar that sounds and plays better. Naturally these kinds of guitars are much more expensive.
Same exact thing with gamers wanting to get something nicer and that will last much longer. I can see why people don't agree with the price and that's fine. Truth is, you just aren't as invested in gaming as some other people.
Nice, looks like Ive just found the Xmas present for the kid!
picking mine up Tuesday morning pumped to try it out
I love the extra paddle triggers, but $150 for a controller is way too steep. I'm a casual gamer and it's just not worth it.
This is so much better than a Scuf Infinity considering the fact that it's $100 cheaper
I could get two controllers...two boxes of zingers and a pack of socks for the price of this controller😂😂
I'll be coming over from 15 years of the same playstation controller so I'll be getting this because hairpin triggers for shooters and full length of pull for racing.
"I Hate the Double AA"
"Yea Old School"
your an old school gamer deal with it
i am still in love with video game...but as u grow up, there's something important than this....i am almost done collecting all kind of that...
hey dudes you know with the new controllers and the A40s you can plug the headphones straight into the port at the bottom and use the device settings as your mix amp. it eliminates tons of wires and mess
Ryan's eyebrows look like they were chosen from the Skyrim character creation menu xD
It looks dope! Definitely gonna get it.
I'm number 3 in the 🌎 of destiny pvp for Xbox one and I have been using this controller fits perfectly
FaZe Wifi 1v1 ? add me TacoPabloJR
Tomas Byrne so let's 1v1 I call bs lol
This thing is so awesome I want one so bad
I'm just surprised they're already sold out! I forgot to place my order for the controller, so i just hope they'll have more in stock soon!
A man in a Captain America shirt should never udder the word centimeter.
I had a scuf for the 360. I'm now on the one and I just re configured my brain to play claw for shooters so I don't have to buy another custom paddle controller like this one. I would recommend this if you're trying to save some cash haha
damn straight...looks sick. Probably a good idea just to pick up the elite console.
Xbone sales so low they have to try and sell an upgraded controller looks good none the less
If that's what makes you feel better inside with your ps4 purchase.
why?
I stick with default button layout on all my games but that doesn’t stop me from jump shooting or slide shooting. I just have to move my thumbs a little more. This would help me a lot more.
+IGN nothing about the infrared (IR) sensor who missing from this "Elite". How a feature from the original controller could be remove from a version like that, IR sensor are need to low power state that conserves your battery and for enables Kinect to associate the controller with whoever is holding it.
im part of the IGN crew on xbox, not sure if your part of that but i subbed anyways, awesome vids.
I sincerely hope this controller is more durable than the normal xbone controller. I would really like to put my hands on one before I decide to buy it.
I'm definitely getting this, not because I'm a pro but I don't seem to have much luck with my controllers.. I'm onto my 3rd since I got the xb1 & yet again the right trigger is creaking so its only a matter of time
When will someone do a full in dept review of this controller? I would like to see how good it is for fighting games like Killer Instinct.
Too expensive for me, but it looks like a damn fine controller. Already love the Xbox One controller in general. Might pick up a new regular controller because of its audio jack, but I'll wait until my current controller breaks.
