Xbox Elite Controller Review

What makes the Elite controller one of a kind is its capacity to be tweaked. The thumbsticks and D-cushion are attractive, and can be immediately swapped for distinctive styles, contingent upon what diversion you need to play. Removable metal oars on the back likewise give you four extra catches to guide particular activities to.The ace evaluation gamepad has a decent heave to it and there's metal and elastic all over the place, making it feel worth its $150 asking cost.


In the case you'll discover three arrangements of compatible triggers, two swappable D-cushions, two arrangements of oars, and an extensive twisted small scale USB link. The majority of the Elite's extras feel sturdy and premium, particularly the exchangeable thumbsticks, which are attractive and fit properly with a fantastic snap. You can hold the controller and the majority of its adornments in the included hard case.


One of my most loved customizations on the Elite are the Hair Trigger Locks, which let you abbreviate the go of the triggers to offer you some assistance with firing speedier in shooters. For dashing diversions like Forza 6, you can expand them for extra control over the quickening agent and brakes. The haptic engines under the triggers permitted me to feel when the brakes were locking up and when the back of the auto was kicking out. Race fans may at present need to buy a haggle for a definitive driving reenactment, yet the Elite controller isn't terrible by any methods.

The customizations proceed with the profile slider on the focal point of the controller, which gives you a chance to rapidly switch between two controller profiles. This is valuable for exchanging in the middle of amusement sorts or even weapon sorts in a first-individual shooter. I played Call of Duty: Ghosts and the controller felt somewhat more exact than the ordinary Xbox One controller. Where it emerges is the capacity to change trigger affectability and relegate particular weapons to its oars.

To remap the catches and change catch affectability, you'll have to download the Xbox Accessories application on your Xbox One or in the Windows Store (accessible now on Xbox One yet PC clients need to hold up until Oct. 27th). Past the standard catch mapping, you can change the affectability of the thumbsticks and even the no man's land of the triggers. You can even change the four haptic input engines situated in the controller.

It's staggering at first and you'll need to test out various catch mappings and settings to see what you like. On the off chance that you need to bounce directly into an amusement without redoing the catch maps, you can download group made arrangements.

The greatest frustration of the Xbox Elite Controller is the absence of rechargeable batteries. The controller uses two AA batteries, which are incorporated into the container. Be that as it may, for $150, you would believe that the Play and Charge Kit ($25) would be incorporated.

The Xbox Elite Controller works with the Xbox One or a Windows PC running Windows 7, 8.1, or 10. Windows 10 clients don't need to stress over drivers as they're incorporated into the working framework however individuals Windows 7 or 8.1 will need to download drivers from xbox.com/xboxone/pc-controller. PC clients hoping to go remote will have the capacity to buy a Wireless Adapter adornment (excluded) for $25.
