[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.

What did they do to the Xbox One's beautiful D-Pad!? The D-Pad was the whole reason I upgraded from an Xbox 360 controller to an Xbox One controller for my PC...

Hopefully they didn't go back to that rocky, in-precise piece of crap design from the 360, or that it's at least one of the "swappable components"...

@MHzBurglar: In the conference they showed a video of swapping parts out and in and it looked like the regular D-Pad could be put in.

@rasdorx:

Oh, good. That's a relief... Hopefully it's still clicky and solid when swapped in instead of rolly and all over the place like the 360 pad.

@MHzBurglar: Probably swappable. I doubt they would f up the D-Pad or bumpers again.

@WhoIsTheDrizzle:

Not necessarily, but if they phase out the "normal" controller and my existing one breaks, this could end up being the only replacement.

Doubtful, but possible. I was more worried that they went from having a bad D-pad on the 360 to a good one on the XB1, to a bad one again.
