Microsoft unveils new Xbox Elite controller in robot white

Microsoft is introducing a new version of its popular Xbox Elite controller today. While many had been hoping for a second-generation controller with three-level Hair Trigger Locks and an adjustable lock design for the thumbsticks, Microsoft is introducing a robot white design of its existing Xbox Elite controller that matches the company’s Xbox One S console.

Not at all it looks pretty cool in white

AngainorG7X2820d ago

It looks pretty cool indeed but i think we all expected an Elite 2.0 announcement

WickedLester2820d ago

Do we NEED a 2.0? What exactly is lacking with the original that a 2.0 is even necessary?

GottaBjimmyb2820d ago

@wicked A good start would be rubber grips that do not slowly peel off over time, or are at least replaceable. My other controllers with rubber grips (even my PS2 controllers) have never even slightly began to peel off, let alone come almost completely off.

My elite controller broke in several ways in just a few weeks

kwijgaming2820d ago

Mine broke too. I've got really bad stick drift on the left thumbstick, and no amount of repairs will fix it. You have to dismantle the controller and de-solder the whole mechanism from the board and replace it. I was really hoping for a V2 instead of buying another identical controller but I guess I'll have to wait.

@Wicked

It breaks after a while

slate912821d ago

Disappointing but the white does look good lol.

AizenSosuke2821d ago

disappointed but hey it's something at least.

meka26112821d ago

I am so pissed about my elite controller. Thought it was awesome and loved the design, but then my damn LB and RB broke because it's cheap plastic. $150 and they use cheap plastic on them, so pissed about that.

optimus2820d ago

isn't every button on the elite customizable? why don't you just replace those that are broken?

meka26112820d ago

Yea I'm looking into doing that. And the only things that you can replace are the analog sticks, the d-pad, and the bottom triggers. It's just messed up that microsoft won't replace it for me, paid enough damn money for it. And definitely wondering why I got disagrees for stating facts, guess those are hated here at n4g lol.

ThinkThink2820d ago

Meka, take it back to the microsoft store. They always take them back and issue you a new one. How old is it?

CarlDechance2820d ago (Edited 2820d ago )

The shoulder buttons cannot be replaced without taking the controller apart. The thumbsticks and D-Pad are replaceable.

"They always take them back and issue you a new one. How old is it? "

There is only a 90 days warranty on Xbox accessories. So it better be pretty new.

Sgt_Slaughter2820d ago

That's not how it works. Thumbsticks and D-Pad are the only regular controls that can be swapped.

i think you got disagrees for saying it was cheap plastic. it could be you're too rough with the controller? ...anyway, you should try the Wish app. they sell controller parts on there that are very inexpensive. so what if you have to take the controller apart. just don't lose the screws when you do. ....i replaced the face plate and grip handles to a nice felt red/black fade which anything similar on the design lab store would have cost me $70 compared to the $12 i spent....and yes i saw parts for every piece of the controller.

meka26112820d ago

Yea I actually have ordered parts from amazon, hoping they fit right. Thankfully it was cheap and only paid $11.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio20d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing20d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit20d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing20d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
