$150 Xbox One "Elite" Controller Revealed at E3 2015

The wireless controller offers hair trigger locks, swappable components, button remapping, and more.

260 Comments

[UPDATE] The "Elite" Xbox One controller will cost $150. You can read a lot more about it at Microsoft's website.

The original story is below.

As part of Microsoft's E3 2015 briefing today, the company officially announced a new Xbox One controller.

It's called an "Elite" controller, and it aims to offer "pro level precision." The wireless pad has hair trigger locks, swappable components, and button and paddle remapping.

No Caption Provided

The new controller has been designed for Xbox One and Windows 10, and is different than the slightly tweaked Xbox One controller that comes with the new 1TB Xbox One console.

Microsoft did not announce a release date or price for the new Elite Xbox One controller.

Microsoft's E3 2015 briefing is ongoing; follow along with our liveblog here.

150? i can buy a brand new xbox 360 with that and solve that backward compatibility issue for good. (which by the way comes with a free xbox 360 controller and that is way better than the xbox one controller)

I'm pretty damned impressed. I'll get this thing as soon as they'll sell it to me.

I suppose this ends the whole "Who makes a better controller, Sony or MS?" debate huh.

@Evenios: They also talked about exclusive games. Did you just read this article and assume that they spent their whole press conference talking about a controller?

Hopefully it's not that sensitive wiggly crap. And hopefully the triggers have a bit more tension on it. The One controllers are too sensitive is the problem (as compared to the 360), and the joysticks too small, but 150 is a bit too steep for a controller even if you can change it. Can't you buy that 50 buck gadget that just lets you use your 360 controller for most anything?

@repetitious: Not wanting to waste his money on overpriced crap makes him a peasant? I'd say that makes him an informed consumer.

I was just thinking, does anyone know if the new customizable Xone controller retains the force feedback triggers from the basic model?

Hmm, I didn't like the Xbox One controller much compared to the 360 controller which I thought was a better fit, but maybe this will have enough extras to make me forget it.

That it, unless it's $100 or something which it doubtlessly will be.

@naryanrobinson: SCUF cost about same with less features so i dont think this price will change. This has more features with better value.

Will have to test it, before I buy it, to see if it's worth it!
