[Glass Shark]

What a weird thing. Cool, though!

 

[Skux]

Finally a worthy PC upgrade to the wired 360 controller.

The added rear buttons open up so many possibilities.

 

[watership]

This is gonna be like $90 at least

Judging by everyone saying things about the 'materials', I'd say around there.

 

[Mohonky]

Is this for PC as well?

I am currently rocking a 360 controller for Windows.

Same, wireless 360 pad, might be time to update.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I want this badly

 

[djjinx2]

Love the new controller, Sony plz

 

[Enduin]

And I just upgraded my old 360 PC controller to the XB1 controller. Damnit.

 

[Strictly]

Finally for those without wheels, we can play racers and switch to manual gear changes. Using bumpers/buttons simply did not work for me.

I hope it works here.

 

[Future PhaZe]

no more bumper jumper

 

[The Lamonster]

This thing looks great.

Ball is in Sony's court to fix the damn DS4.

 

[Feichaw]

I wanna touch that sexy thing. Can't wait for that!

 

[Prine]

Incredible! Day one, was about to buy the normal pad with headphone jack

 

[Interceptor]

Best new announcement of the conference for me. Looks awesome.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

I wanted this so fucking much. I'm part of the minority that doesn't like the default X1 thumb sticks, so this is a godsend.

 

[Raw64life]

Can you put the left joystick where the dpad is? If so, day one.

 

[levyjl1988]

Could that perhaps be indeed the perfect controller of all time?

 

[Itachi87]

I wonder how long is the battery life and if they're gonna make a wired version.

 

[Lee]

Just cancelled my pre-order of the "new" controller with 3.5mm port and improved bumpers. I want to replace my creaky day one controller but I'm going to hold out for this guy.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Looks pretty fucking slick. I want one even though I'm not sure if I would need the paddles. I also hope they fixed the static and audio drop outs that me and some others get with the old pad with the stereo headset adaptor.

 

[CTLance]

I need to hold this in my own hands before freaking out about it, but I'm tentatively hyped.

Neat stuff - even if the first impression was "PS2 era third party controller". Sorry, I just can't help it, burn me once, uh, erm, can't burn me again.

 

[Onimusha78]

Might get it for the earphone input alone. That and I'm tired of Xbox inputs whilst using my a Ds4

 

[TURBO1112]

Any news about release date? Price? Probably around $100 I would guess

 

[kd-z]

To be honest the regular Xbox One controller looks better to me. Also, all the replaceable parts make me doubt this thing's durability.

 

[Granadier]

You remap using a sweet app on pc or xbox. Literally the best controller I've ever used.

Materials are ridiculous and the weird d-pad is fantastic. Although you can swap it for a regular cross pad.

Wait.

You can remap controls with it? Does this work with all games?

remapping exclusive to elite controller? If it is done with an app on xbox, they should let you do it for normal controllers too.

Curious to hear more impressions. Especially if those paddles are able to be mapped as new inputs for PC, could be really useful. Although if they could have sneaked a little throttle slider on the left somewhere, could have been a nice portable HOTAS setup.

 

[Lima]

Try more like $150. This should be very close to a Scuf gaming controller.

Remember a regular controller is also $59.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Highlight of the conference for me. That's a beast of a controller.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

This was the best thing at the conf. No joke. It looks sick as hell.

 

[jay23]

Does it have designated screenshot button?

 

[Kinsella]

Wait.

You can remap controls with it? Does this work with all games?

There's no way it doesn't work for all games. You're remapping it at the OS level.

 

[viveks86]

This looks DAMN good! If steam controller doesn't work out for my PC gaming, I will absolutely get this.

 

[Slayven]

Didn't they just redesign the controller

 

[Rad-]

I don't own XO but will probably get this for PC.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I'll be buying this

 

[Bsigg12]

Didn't they just redesign the controller

Kind of, they added a headphone port and adjusted the bumpers. This is a full rebuild

 

[Kayant]

Might actually get this. Let's see what the price is.

 

[silver.tongue]

Best part of the conference, easily.

 

[KAP151]

Looked really nice, but im sure the price wont be.

 

[Rainy Dog]

Now this looks interesting. 360 pad has been my main PC controller for years but it's never quite sat right with me. Always found the sticks just slightly too stiff and inaccurate, plus I prefer convex. And never liked the feel of the face or back buttons and of course that d-pad.

Been trying to use the DS4 with DS4Windows recently but although that solves my main gripes of the 360 pad the triggers still aren't as spot on as the 360's for me. Then there's the pain in the arse battery life.

Hoping the Steam controller comes up trumps first and foremost but I'll certainly be keeping my eye on this now too.

 

[iNvid02]

doubt it, should have better build quality if they're going the premium route. PR talk aside it would be surprising

along with a new steel construction that, combined with a low-friction resin, guarantees a "zero wear" joystick. Microsoft engineers who spoke to Ars bragged that the "zero wear" claim was actually vetted by the company's legal brass.

 

[Sou Da]

Didn't they just redesign the controller

 

[Cave Johnson]

I love it. Looks like MS money is applied correctly in action. Now we no longer have to do stupid shit like the "claw" to play games now.

 

[soul creator]

I remember posting a while back that I would love to see an official first party version of that old phoenix revolution controller, and they totally went and did it

 

[dreamfall]

It looks pretty dope! So many possible configurations!

 

[Rainy Dog]

Looked really nice, but im sure the price wont be.

Yeah, can't see this giving much change from $100 either,

 

[digita1alchemy]

They already had the best controller. They're just showboating at this point.

 

[Lee]

$89.99 CAD so probably the same USD, no?

[tc farks]

As someone looking to buy an XB1 bundle later this year. Does this usher in an XB1 elite bundle coming to stores near you?

 

[Backfoggen]

Can you map taking a screenshot to something?

 

[Navy Bean]

I'd buy 2 of these today...looks pretty sweet.
