I have been waiting for this Elite.

I had the first one and loved it.

nirwanda2402d ago

I didn't like the elite controller, I press quite hard when I change direction on the left analogue and hated the way they fell off, would prefer if they locked in properly

81BX2402d ago

Had an elite... the R bumper went to crap in less than 12 months. Got a free brand new replacement from xbox. The A button went to crap in 3 months. Complete crap if you ask me

The joystick will be great for fighters

chiefJohn1172402d ago (Edited 2402d ago )

....If the stick is tighter than the analog and clicky like a dpad. Would be sweet if you can go in the software setting and which movement controls to the pad, so those that don't like offset sticks can make it parallel

neocores80552402d ago

Lol copying sony new ASTRO C40 Remote lol

CaptainCook2402d ago (Edited 2402d ago )

Actually, Logitech owns Astro so it's made by Logitech lol

The Astro controller is going to priced at $199,99

Parasyte2402d ago

Son, the new Astro controller is made by Astro.

zackeroniii2402d ago

When they don't have games to make...so they make a controller

XtaZ2402d ago

MS have tons of games in development, also the game devs and hardware devs are two completely different teams. You are just stupid.

jmetalhead778122402d ago

My 300+ games either games installed, or waiting to be installed says otherwise. I have more games on my Xbox’s that I know what to do with... their controllers are awesome BTW

zackeroniii2402d ago

"tons of games in development"...doesn' t name one game...figures LOL

The Xbox Elite Series 2 is the best controller around and is cheaper than ever.

With a $40 saving you can still pick up the Xbox Wireless Adapter with it and it'll still cost less than full price.

FlavorLav011304d ago

My right bumper broker on my Xbox elite controller after only a year. Also, dualsense controller says hello.

porkChop1304d ago

They're talking from a PC gaming perspective.

Rhythmattic1304d ago (Edited 1304d ago )

You mean MS Perspective? Doesn't Dulasense work say with Steam "PC' Games? Albeit , not every game supports its features, like the features this doesn't have either?

porkChop1304d ago (Edited 1304d ago )

No, not from MS' perspective. The Dualsense's unique features only work with 6 games on PC. One of those doesn't support the haptics. Even then, the controller only works with a beta driver from Steam. You can't configure the controller unless you're in Big Picture mode. It doesn't have proper support on PC because Sony doesn't offer any drivers.

It's not a bad controller at all. But on PC it's just a standard controller for 99.99% of games. But unlike other controllers it's just far too limited on PC for it to really be the "best" PC controller. I'm not saying the Elite is, either. But at least with the Elite you just connect it and it works. No fiddling with anything, just play the game.

Teflon021304d ago

Pork, you know the only reason Sony controls don't have better support is because MS doesn't want it to. PS4 controls had drivers from the jump, but MS wants to block DS use on MS titles even if they natively support it like cuphead and PSO2 which when using the steam version and turning off the steam control features and letting it run raw it picks up and runs proper.

That's pretty garbage. But even so over time more PC games will have the features.

porkChop1304d ago

Windows is an open platform. Sony can release proper XInput drivers any time they want. They choose not to. That has nothing to do with MS.

iplay1up21303d ago

Also, competitive gaming. Dualsense is to make games more Immersive which is awesome, The elite is more for competitive gaming.

Rhythmattic1303d ago (Edited 1303d ago )

" doesn't have proper support on PC because Sony doesn't offer any drivers. "
Just like MS Games don't properly support Linux? MS could do games without DX, you know, this open standards and platforms you speak of, but I guess, what you say is true....
Its all about taking the PC tag.

porkChop1303d ago

Linux and driver support aren't the same thing. And I said open platform, not open standard. Again, not the same thing. But sure, go off on how MS supporting an OS like 1% of gamers use is the same as a simple driver.

My DualSense had stick drift. I’d say no controller is without issues.

ColtPSSX1304d ago

I don’t understand how you guys play games. I have never had a stick drift ever. PS2, Xbox, PS3, 360, PS4, xone, PS5, Xbox series, switch, wii.
Not once, and I go hard when I play also.

Jin_Sakai1304d ago

“I don’t understand how you guys play games. I have never had a stick drift ever.“

Honestly the DualSense is the first controller I’ve ever had stick drift on. I’ve even had multiple Switch consoles with no drift.

FlavorLav011304d ago

True, but also Dual sense isn’t an “elite” controller sold at near $200 either

ColtPSSX1304d ago

I have 2 dual sense and still pretty good. Must be bad luck.

Orbilator1304d ago (Edited 1304d ago )

Same here stick drift is a mystery to me.

Elite series 2 is a great co troller but it's a lot of cash, can't believe there isn't better joypads on PC that are better than the elite?. So many to chose I'm sure it's just preference over features

AuraAbjure1304d ago

@ Colt, I left my contorller upside down with a jacket on top for a couple days. Hello stick drift.

Sorry but the Dualsense is nothing compared to the elite controller 2. My Dualsense dies every single day after a few hours of play.

iplay1up21303d ago

Dualsense isn't going to give you a competitive edge. The Elite is designed for competitive gaming, and not immersion.

SyntheticForm1303d ago

Two of my DualSense controllers have drifted and I've already bought a third.

Not shitting on the DualSense - I love it - but I'm kinda chaffed over the high potential for this controller to become drift-afflicted so quickly.

343_Guilty_Spark1303d ago

Dual sense is a great casual controller and adds a layer of immersion not seen in other controllers... . But for shooters and more competitive games tried and true is a little better.

FlavorLav011302d ago

Still subjective I think given the price comparison

porkChop1304d ago

That's still about $175-$180 CAD. I'm sure it's a really great controller but I can't justify spending that much on it.

Jin_Sakai1304d ago (Edited 1304d ago )

Agreed. I just couldn’t justify spending that much on a controller no matter how great it is.

ABizzel11304d ago

They're $120 at a local store here, and 25% off that price making them $90 for the holiday here.

porkChop1304d ago

That's actually not a bad price.

alb18991304d ago (Edited 1304d ago )

I bought one and is worth it men. It is so customizeble. And you can evecharge it inside the box plus the battery last like forever. And how it feels....I mean, if play videogames is your thing you gave to invest in a good control and a nice monitor or tv....and headphones.

porkChop1304d ago

I believe it's great. But in Canada it retails for over $200. Even with a decent sale it's just too much money for me. It costs more than most high end mechanical keyboards, and I don't even buy those because of how expensive they are. I only have one of those keyboards because my brother switched to a different one and let me use it.

1304d ago
Amplitude1303d ago (Edited 1303d ago )

The fact that it's that price and DOESN'T have the most basic of features like gyro is what drives me absolutely insane. I'd love a good pro XBox style controller with gyro and a touch pad i can use as a mouse.
Still constantly looking. PS5 controller works but Bluetooth is wonky at times so i just use the XBox controller for everything and then switch to the PS5 controller for shooters so i can enable gyro to emulate a mouse when i hold L2 in Steam controller config. Would love the Elite in order to use the back paddles as separate buttons in PC games which to my knowledge even the SCUF PS4 controller cant do in Steam

Just add gyro to this bs microsoft its 2021 lol
