No delay at all? Anyone know a way of measuring the latency of this compared to a PS4 controller?

There is no perceptible delay for me personally but I do believe it adds right under 2ms according to what I've read.
Actually I just looked it up and it says its adds about 1ms.
Yup same day delivery. Turned up 9pm last night.

I know they're already making game-themed parts kits, but $30 is out of my interest range. I don't really need extra paddles and sticks (especially since you won't even be able to see the paddles whether you're holding it or displaying it). If they were to make game-themed packs with just the D-pad and disc piece, though (like that Gears disc they gave out, say around $10 for a 2-pack), I'd probably collect a lot of those. They could make a little carrying/display case for them. I totally want a Nuka Cola bottlecap disc.
I would hit up Microsoft support.

Do the paddles feel like they have a click or do they just move freely and register at a set point?
nice nice

They click.
Im not sure I get the descriptions used for example, but I say that they feel as the trigger buttons, and Honestly they feel good almost like something that should be part of any normal controller and I could see a future gen console using controller with paddles.

Thanks for this
Tried out my Elite Controller on Halo 5 with just the short paddles on the bottom row. It took me a bit to get used to them, but now I can never go back to a standard controller. I mapped grenades to the left paddle and thrust to the right, and it has really helped my gameplay.

Aggressive is what I ended up settling on its feels the most natural to me in halo 5. Im not having all these aiming issues people are talking about.

Take this for what it's worth but the Store Manager at a local Gamestop told me they expect to have more Elites in November.

So, how are the people who've had ticking joysticks doing? Has it stopped?
Does the adapter still have the 8 min timeout?

Loving my Elite controller. I'm just using the the 2 top paddles for now. Have it programmed for sprint and thruster, though I'm thinking of switching sprint to change weapon/flag juggle. My only complaint is that I can no longer rest the controller on my leg because of the paddles. Obviously that's not a big deal. Still gotta get used to it though. I sometimes hit LT and nade myself when I meant to hit the left paddle to thrust...

This is huge for me, thanks so much! Now to start saving my pennies
I haven't been able to try it out yet, but I wonder how the CronusMAX identifies the paddles. Does it go by a default layout that the controller automatically has, or can you do a custom layout? I plan to try it out this weekend.
What is the 8 minute timeout? I really have only used the CronusMAX with PS4 controller on PS3, and WiiU on both PS4/Xbox One. Only one time did the controller stop working when I was using WiiU Pro controller on Xbox One. But other than that, no issues.
Gamestop is expecting Nov 8th I think for second round of shipments

What if the connection was wired?
Since you would move on you can always just send me your cable.

don't get your hopes up. The controller is selling like hotcakes and goes for like $250+ on ebay
It's still there. The noise also occurs on both my regular XB1 controllers (albeit the noise is a lower pitch and harder to hear) which makes me think the noise isn't an issue but just a side-effect of the design used. Your opinions may vary.
For me it's not worth the time or worry to do anything about it since the replacement would probably make the same noise anyway and the fact that it doesn't affect the performance of the controller in use.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Who was the person who suggested having the two smaller paddles, one bottom-left and top-right? I think I love you. It feels so much better than trying to contort my hand into a position that lets me press all four.
I'm serious - this is definitely the way to use it.

Whoops, I actually did know that. Thanks for the reminder!
It's already out, search for Xbox Accessories on the Windows 10 Store marketplace.
Isn't it just part of the existing Xbox app? Never tried it myself.
Ah, got it.
Just be aware that if you're like watching netflix or something and and leave the controller alone for a while and it goes to sleep, the paddles will re-enable when you turn the controller back on.

Mother-effer! I already have a problem with buying and collecting the "regular" 60 dollar controllers!
That thing is so pretty!

man, Ford makes some pretty controllers. I guess it's a good thing they're not for sale...well, I guess at least not now. I'd totally buy the shit out of that elite...I think...
I've just been using the default in the app, but I use 6 or 7 in game for the Halo games or Destiny.
I'm not too interested in getting used to strange curves...
But i just bought one. :_:Via Aaron Greenberg

Anyone got scratches on their paddles too? Bought the Elite Bundle today btw ( already out in the Netherlands ) and the 2 largest paddles have minor scratches / markings on the sides.

Damn lol. Sites reporting on the Elite controller took his post as if he were actually Phil Spencer.

That's unfortunate. I'm sure he doesn't want people quoting him with stuff he hasn't said.
That sums up tech/Games Journalism for you Ladies and Gentlemen. Incompetent.

I want that Ford controller
Me too, and a lunar white version if they ever released one.
Still performs the same way. Only reason I don't use mine that much on my ps4.
