so how much would you pay for the ultimate in game controller customization if you pay $100 what about 150 that's how much the Xbox elite controller costs a hundred and fifty dollars and yeah that's a lot but the elite controller offers more customization over anything I've ever seen first off this thing is dead sexy it's got a real nice weight to it more so than the existing Xbox one controller it feels great in my hands not to mention it's got a smooth rubberized coating throughout and it's just a really slick and smooth looking controller okay so the customization that's the focal point on the controller the elite ships with three sets of stainless-steel analog sticks each bearing in height and tip design you can even mix and match each to your heart's content there's also two types of deep heads as well one traditional plus shape and another octagon looking thing that should help hitting those directional diagonals best of all everything's magnetic the deep heads and sticks easily swap out with one another even the triggers can be modified each has a switch that lets you alternate between full and hair-trigger mode the latter of which stops you from having to pull the trigger all the way down then there's the interchangeable backpedals these are small little levers that allow you to enter a command using just your middle finger around back now you need to program these with a free app for Xbox one which lets you assign any controller input to those back pedals you can even remap the entire controller to Microsoft says that developer design control schemes will be available for the elite all accessible through that Xbox one app there's a switch on the controller as well and that'll let you go back and forth between two loaded profiles I'm not a huge fan of those back pedals I mostly played with them removed but some players love them because you can bind them to car controls like the brake and gas or use them as a quicker way to access something like a grenade toss or melee I just found myself hitting them a lot by accident so I didn't use them finally the elite controller will also work with Windows 10 and it'll even work wirelessly if you buy a $25 adapter but the question you've got to be asking is is this worth $150 well that depends right the elite cost more than twice the amount of a regular controller and you could argue it has more than twice the amount of features but is it twice as better probably not I'm not really sure competitive players will likely love this because of the endless amount of customization and those twitch controls we talked about now if that stuff doesn't mean much to you then the elite shouldn't be your go-to controller bullet for $150 you are getting a top-of-the-line fully customizable and gorgeous controller that can work on PC and Xbox one
