I'm honestly starting to think you're trolling now. This is getting stupid.
We were looking at stupid in the rear view mirror a long time ago.

4 paddles is a bit overkill. Using the top two should be enough and would let you grip your control normally.My friend bought one and I tried it out. My only issue is that the way I hold the controller I would be pressing the paddles underneath and I don't know if I would enjoy altering that.
Maybe I just need some more time with it.
The build quality was great and I really liked the magnetic features of it.
I hope Sony does something a little similar or at least makes use of the touchpad more.
It's fine. Stop doing this to yourself. There is more moisture in your hands. No moisture from a shower would penetrate the case.
Dude...

I feel like I've ruined controllers forever, with this.
I'm no longer excited by my Elite. The paddles and are no longer a novelty and the materials and weight don't feel unusual any more. But every time I have to pick up a normal controller, I'm like "eeuuuww".
This is a dumb question, but where are the batteries located inside of the packaging, again? I opened mine up, and have looked, but I don't see any, so I think they forgot to include them.
In the long, thin box at the base of the controller. The USB cable is in the same box.
Everything on this controller feels better than a regular XB1 controller. Once you play with one of these things the regular Xbox controller just feels wrong.are the bumpers significantly better than a standard xbox one controller? i LOVE the xbox one controller, except the bumpers feel like cheap, clicky pieces of shit, i would buy this controller if it just improved on those alone tbh

I've been using this since December and it has pretty much replaced my DS4 for PC gaming.
Love the weight and overall feel of the controller.
However (and this is where I feel I completely failed in my research prior to buying) what on earth is with the complete and utter lack of customisation?
I was absolutely floored and utterly dismayed to discover the Windows 10 software (bearing in mind I upgraded to W10 solely for to be able to use this controller) only allows remapping of the paddles (and other buttons/sticks) to other buttons and sticks.
Seriously what on earth?
My sole purpose in ditching the DS4 and 'upgrading' was to enable myself to have 4 more customisable buttons for use in games like Skyrim etc.
As much as the controller is great in terms of build quality and overall feel the lack of keyboard bindings makes this a complete waste of my money to be honest.
Is there anything out there that 'fixes' this awful oversight?
- Q: Can I map screenshot or DVR functionality?
- A: No. It's possible in theory. The chatpad will have inputs for screenshots and DVR though.
I haven't used the new designed standard controllers but the bumpers feel great on the elite. The old ones felt awkward and would sometimes be painful to use regularly for me. Haven't noticed the elite bumpers at all (which means they must be doing their job well)
EDIT: Would the carrying case protect the thing from moisture well? I accidentally left my new unopened one in a family member's bedroom which has an adjoining washroom, and forgot to move it before they showered a couple of times. But the door was closed, the vent was on and the thing is in a heavy box plus carrying case. I'm sure it's fine.
You are a fucking lunatic.
I had to send mine off for a bad left bumper. It was gone for a whole two days. In its absence, I used my Titanfall controller. It felt like epic garbage in my hands. I opted to just wait for the replacement rather than use that trash.Everything on this controller feels better than a regular XB1 controller.

It really does suck. Any time I touch the regular XB1 controller I feel like it's some cheap $10 knock off.I had to send mine off for a bad left bumper. It was gone for a whole two days.

I was afraid it might spoil me. I didn't realize how bad it would be.
The rounded D-Pad is hard to use with shooters imho.
I will never understand who uses konvex sticks, but I tried those long ones. Odd as well, but I will try to get used to them since I heard they are good for your aim.
I've always hated convex sticks, but tried the ones with the elite and actually feel like it works for my left stick. I feel like most of my movements on the left stick are all or nothing, and I don't need precision. I end up pressing the stick sort of from the side, and the concave stick is a little rougher on my thumb, especially if I'm clicking it to sprint a lot. I can't do the convex stick on the right though, I feel like I get way more precision out of the concave ones.
I really don't like the longer stick on the left though. It feels like I'm putting more effort into using it, which isn't needed on that stick. I need a short convex one for the left, but I don't think anyone is selling accessories for this thing, even replacements. I do use the long concave stick on the right, and feel like it gives me slightly more precision.
The concave ones definitely offer more precision, so I'm with you there. Convex doesn't work well on the left, but it's good on the right.
Probably has a lot to do with what you're playing. I mostly play shooters, so I want precision on the right, and comfort on the left. If I were buying a Scuf or something that I couldn't swap stuff around on, I'd go with a short domed left stick, and a long concave right stick.

Just following up about my replacement Elite, in case anyone wondered. Got it yesterday and it's perfect. Now just crossing my fingers that the bumpers hold up a lot better.
I honestly have never had a controller break on me at any point before, and this controller is a few steps above any other controller on the market. It'll be fine.I may have asked this before, but do you guys worry about wear and tear on these things and try to use them only on certain games?
Got my Elite controller today in the mail and now just need to find a good setup for Black Ops 3.
Does anyone else's faceted d-pad not fit tightly in the carrying case? Mine falls loose if the case isn't laying flat. The regular d-pad fits nice and tight though. I don't really like the thought of putting it all in the case, then the d-pad rattling around and hitting the controller. I'm thinking about if there's something I could shove in there to make it fit tighter.

Finally got this via gamestop online.
What a difference from the regular controller. I had to replace the XboxOne controller 3 times because the thumbstick kept breaking and I only play madden pretty much.
This controller has really made a difference in precision control and feels fantastic in your hands. Pricey yes, but definitely worth it for me.
The paddles on the back though, completely annoying and in the way. Took them off immediately as they have no use in madden
