Even so, I would (and will) be very careful with this controller in terms of children or anyone else who might pop off a stick and lose it. The magnets that hold the sticks in place are much stronger than what I remember.
The other stick option is the taller concave shape, which is also less attractive right away.
The convex sticks are attractive in terms of shape, but their taller length isn't something I'm ready to jump on. Presumably, Microsoft thought this configuration would be the most popular, and so far, I have to agree. All four paddles come attached, and the standard Xbox One shape and height sticks come on the controller. The circular d-pad comes attached (it's held in place by a magnet in the center of the green d-pad contacts. Sadly, the plus shaped d-pad piece, which comes in its rubber storage niece in the case, is still a bit annoying to take out. (Unlike the micro USB cable from the Charge & Play kit, this cable has no charging LED on the micro USB end.) Likewise, the braided micro USB cable has changed from a monochrome look in pre-prod form to a black with a thin Xbox One green stripe spiraling around from end to end version. Presumably, this gives the controller some extra security needed for shipping. While the soft shell (contoured) carry-case is meant to carry the controller, its pieces, and the included micro USB cable, there is a foam insert that goes under the controller. All put together, this box, which is made of a strong cardboard shell, is much larger and heavier than a typical Xbox One Wireless Controller box. Really though, between all of the enthusiasts and industry people that I know, the controller has been hovering around must-own status in spite of the steep price.Īfter using a pre-prod version, getting ahold of the final iteration of the Xbox Elite Controller hasn't been a completely surprising experience, but there are nevertheless many small details that have changed or are otherwise worth noting.įor one thing, the controller ships inside of its nylon carry case, which is then placed in black Elite box packaging. This week, Microsoft released the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller, and if Amazon's current sold out status is any indication, the $150 controller is selling well.
