The Xbox One Elite Controller costs three times as much as the regular Xbox One Controller! So is it worth $150 to upgrade? Watch my review video so you can decide!

The box it comes in is really nice and made with thick cardstock. Under the controller case, there’s a box for the USB cable plus the instruction pamphlets. The first thing you’ll notice when picking it up is that it weighs about 12.25 ounces versus about 10 ounces for the regular controller. You can also lighten the controller a bit by removing the paddles on the back.

One of the things I really like about the Elite is the grip. It’s fully textured and rubberized so it won’t slip during intense gaming! You can customize the controller with three different thumbsticks. The really cool thing is that they’re magnetized so they’re easy to swap out. The D-Pad can be swapped out just as easily with 2 different options. On the back, there are four solid aluminum paddles for quick finger actions. They’re also magnetized and easy to take out. When not in use, they can be stored securely in the carrying case.

On the front, there’s an addition switch right in the middle which helps to quickly change preset controller configurations right on the controller. It’s easy to program the switch for the games you play the most. Just go to the devices settings menu on your Xbox. You can fully customize the setup to your liking but you can also search for different configurations created by other players for specific games. Once it’s set, just flip between configurations one and two on the controller with up to 256 configurations you can save to the cloud accessible on any console.

You can also set the travel distance of the trigger buttons for trigger intensive games. You can have regular full depth or set it to half for quicker response time. On the top there’s the sync button and also the standard USB port. And on the bottom there’s the familiar headphone port. I like to use earbuds for voice chat these days because they’re smaller and these look and work great with the Elite. Rechargeable batteries are a great idea for the Elite controller and you can use the standard AA batteries and also high-capacity molded batteries like the ones from Jelly Comb.

One last thing I use on the Xbox One Elite Controller is a Chatpad keyboard which makes life so much simpler! Microsoft really paid attention to details for the Elite controller down to the high-quality braided USB cable. So what do you think? Is it worth shelling out $150 for a controller? I can tell you that I really like it! And everytime I pick it up, I’m thinking this feels so much better than the stock controller. And yeah the price is definitely steep but when it’s in my hand… I don’t regret it!

I hope this video helps you make a decision on whether the Xbox One Elite Controller is something you’d enjoy! Thanks for watching and hit that subscribe button so you can see all of my weekly tech videos!
