Xbox One Elite Controller Release Date Confirmed
Hey, that's the same day that Halo 5 comes out.
Confirming earlier retail listings, Microsoft has now officially announced that the $150 Xbox One Elite controller will launch on October 27. That's the same day that Halo 5: Guardians is released.
The Xbox One Elite controller, which also works on PC, is more than twice as expensive as the standard unit. For the premium price, you get a first-of-its-kind Xbox controller that features interchangeable rear paddles and hair trigger locks. It also lets you adjust the trigger minimum and maximum values, thumbstick sensitivity, and button assignments. In short, you can assign any of the controller's 14 different inputs to the ABXY buttons, paddles, D-pad, triggers, and thumbstick clicks.
