Day One buy for V2 Elite controller and the new Duke controller but i'm not going to open it... collector item.

How about they fix the stick drift first before we pay them more money.

Weeblordbad2921d ago

I've had more PS4 controllers with stick drift, the Vader edition and the 20th anniversary edition all came with stick drift out of the box. My XBox One controllers haven't suffered the same fate, not saying it never happens but it's not just an issue with Xbox pads.

As long as they fixed the rubber issue. My original elite is peeling like crazy...

Anomander2921d ago

Yea, the left side on my is peeling but the right side is not. Totally love the controller though. I can't tell you how many hours I have put on it though. I have gotten my moneys worth out of it.

“However, one questionable thing is the use of undetachable batteries, most modern controllers allow users to take out batteries on their own...”

Most “modern” controllers? Definitely not modern at all. Isn’t the Xbox One the only one that does this? To my knowledge, not even Nintendo does this with their own controllers anymore. Most of this rumor seems fake with those pictures. Didn’t download that file to see more.

Xb1ps42922d ago

I prefer the modern controller with the option to use batteries and rechargeable battery.. I’ve had plenty times were the battery to my pro controller is dead and have to play plugged in..

Rude-ro2922d ago

But you are saying this in an article about an elite controller., of which hard wire is actually preferred over any battery due to latency... and with the Xbox one crontroler latency issues, I would not even put a battery in it let alone regular old batteries.

on_line_forever2922d ago

This controler is so expinsive Iam looking for price drop to get one

TheCommentator2922d ago (Edited 2922d ago )

I agree. Built in batteries are just dumb. When the built in batteries die, the controller needs to be tethered with a cable until it's charged which defeats the whole purpose of wireless technology. Rechargeable AA's also last longer than built in lithium batteries, cost less, and take 30 seconds to switch out.

I hope they continue to make the V1 controllers too.

Foxhound9222921d ago (Edited 2921d ago )

You people complaining about having to charge your controller after it dies....you do realize you can have more than one controller right? Keep one charging while using the other one. A single charge will last A LOT longer than you can play in one sitting so use a little common sense and just properly charge them when not in use. There's a reason why almost all consumer electronics have rechargeable batteries. It's because they are more efficient and convenient. The only time I've seen anyone brag about 50 year old battery tech is an xbox fan that is stuck with 50 year old battery tech.

@rude ro

Yea... well I don’t have an issue with latency in the games that I play. I like the option on my elite controller and wish Sony would consider the same..

Weeblordbad2921d ago

I'm trying to find quantifiable tests for input latency, can't seem to find it.

Zeref2921d ago

Its confirmed to be true by several reliable Microsoft watchers/leakers.

Good! .....and no more awfully boring simulators as well please!

galgor1d 1h ago

You didn't see the group of simulator games that just launched then, eh?

Next story will be about how Sony is hurting gamers by blocking trash games.

....don't give them ideas.....

gold_drake1d 6h ago

dude who made those games definitely made bank with them tho.

im glad they're gone tho

jznrpg1d 4h ago

I hate those trophy whore games so good.

DivineHand1251d 4h ago

Too bad for the trophy hunters, but this action is necessary.

The existence of these games for the sole purpose of helping people pad their trophy list cheapens the experience.

It also clutters the store with garbage games.

jambola19h ago

I wouldn't even care if you could just filter them
but I like sorting by newest to oldest to see new games and this really just ruins it
