Gamers will argue over which controller is best, forever. Which is fine because to each there own. But if we were to collect an overall consensus of everyone’s favorites, which one would win? Many argue that the Xbox One Elite Controller is the best of them all. Some gamers say that after playing for more than 20 years, they have found their Holy Grail. Let’s look at all the facts on why the Elite controller could be a possible winner.

Firstly, there is not much difference between the Xbox One Controller and Elite. Many gamers say that the Elite is just like its predecessor but only better. This is probably due to the reason that Microsoft designed the Elite alongside pro-gamers by studying them in action. That was the groundbreaking technique they used and nothing else. According to Microsoft, they analyzed on how they could enhance or improve their product by analyzing how their consumers use the current version. That’s exactly what they did. The new Elite has the same structure and design as the previous controller, but now, the unit has become customizable. If you don’t like how your controller feels you can change it to your liking. The controller comes with attachments that can replace your paddles, D-pad and sticks, which are removable. You might think that a detachable controller isn’t reliable and is susceptible to breaking or wearing out, which would be a false assumption. Gamers reported not even suspecting that the Elite could be deconstructed because it was perfectly organized. No piece rattles off or becomes loose during gaming or ever.

The buttons which haven’t significantly changed in structure or function since the last version, are said to have improved. They require adequate pressure to operate and everything feels more certain in contrast to the original controller.

Gamers also reported that the Elite has been designed in such a way that it completely submerges in one’s hand. The grip is extraordinarily soft touch and the controller is effortlessly maneuvered. The Elite has an added USB cord- which was a lacking feature in the original controller- that uses a material which perfectly encapsulated the USB and Micro USB. This feature helps the chord not come loose during playing and interrupting your gaming session.

Because of its unreasonably high price, not everyone can afford it which is probably the only con of the Elite so far. However, gamers recommend it regardless of the heavy price tag because of its smooth design and effortless usage.
