Xbox Elite Wireless Controller

Now this is somewhat obscene – Microsoft took the covers off its Xbox Elite Wireless Controller for the Xbox One and PC. Based on earlier leaks, most of us were expecting the inclusion of a 3.5 mm headphone jack. As it turns out, there’s much more.

The Elite Wireless Controller has a large amount of customization including custom paddles on the back which can be modified, hair trigger locks, the ability to swap out the analog sticks and D-pad, button remapping and much more. There’s also no denying how sleek it looks – now let’s hope the price isn’t too harsh for some of us.

A release date for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller will likely be announced soon so stay tuned for more information and let us know what you think in the comments below. Is it truly for pro-level players or simply full of gimmicks? Tell us what you think and watch the trailer below.
