Topic: Xbox elite controler

Hi guys i was wondering if anyone has some experience with using xbox elite controler with the new x one adapter that allows motion control?? Im concern about how good the motion control is.

@Kripso I didn't even know there was a motion adapter.....and I can't imagine what games use it. That's pretty cool though!

Too bad the Elite controller breaks if you look at it half sideways. I was hoping beyond hope they'd announce a new Elite this E3 with the v2 rumors...but alas, it's back to hunting permanently out of stock expensive controllers that develop stick drift somehow even faster than the stock controllers....assuming you can keep the bumpers and grips attached! Seriously considering just getting a the Combat Tech (plain controller with rubber grip) this time instead of another self-destructive Elite!

Now your mention of motion input has me intrigued (I wonder if the gyro develops drift? )

@NEStalgia damn i wanted it for the paddles too :/ can i get paddles for combat Tech one ?

@Kripso The paddles are nice. The controller FEELS so nice and premium, and the sticks glide so smoothly. Though arguably the paddles tend to get in the way until you get used to them, they sit on the handgrips so you have to grip differently if you use them. Zero weight on the bottom of the grips, where the paddles are is required. Some love the controller's weight, but I find it's excessively heavy. The Play & Charge Li-Ion battery takes much needed weight off versus Alkaline or NiMH cells, and switching the disc to the plus d-pad shaves some weight off. (It's a nice d-pad.) I suspect the intended most of the target customers to use it wired without a battery anyway.

Where the troubles come in is externally it's very nice. Internally, it uses the same components as the stock controller. The R&B bumpers are connected by the same plastic band....and the weight of the metal levers being bashed around seems to commonly break it more than stock controllers. The stick modules are the exact same ones (Sony uses them too), and are prone to drifting (Sony fixes this by setting ridiculously huge deadzones so the drift isn't picked up easily) in all models, but the use of a stainless steel lever arm on a plastic module....it seems to convey too much torque into the load springs and wears it even faster than stock controllers. For anyone that survives that: The rubber grips, apparently, are almost 100% guaranteed to peel (though my sticks don't last long enough to get there...)

It's a terrible feeling because once you get used to it it's hard to go back to anything else....it really FEELS great, ergonomically. It's just not durable enough for the price. I love the controller, I want to use the controller, and every time I see the price in my shopping cart when considering rebuying it I cringe and get cold feet. I may get another....but $60 this week for the Tech one is tempting. No paddles, no smooth stick rings...but at least it has grips.

There's no perfect controller. No paddles for the stock/Tech controllers. And no smooth-glide stick rings. The Elite seems to have serious design flaws for durability but is a dream when it works. There's Scuf, even more expensive than Elite, but they also have a shaky quality history (and even worse warranty)...I believe they co-developed the Elite....which explains why it suffers from all of Scufs infamous flaws. Most "esports" pros use Scuf. They're also sponsored by scuf and haf a pile of dead Scufs at home

I've come to really like Razer's controllers (I like my Wolverine Ultimate even more than my Elite, though the paddles are very different and M2/M3 are hard to reach) but it's wired-only. No wireless..... Think of it as a lighter, smoother elite....but wired. The buttons are great though (mouse buttons for the ABXY) I've heard a lot of complaining about their quality control as well.....yet all my razer stuff has, knock wood, worked. But....it's wired. And also costs more than the Elite.

There were HUGE rumors since January with the low inventory availability that there was an Elite v2 on the way with adjustable stick tension, 3 profiles, redesigned paddles, and multiple trigger heights. There were even leaked images....the prototype is real. But it was a no show at E3. I was kind of waiting eagerly for it. The current Elite is kind of the RROD shaped controller....

@Kripso This thread should probably have been in the other gaming list but... I haven't tried the adapter myself (personally I don't like the Xbox controller as much as the Switch controller) but I have seen a couple video reviews on YouTube and they sounded pretty positive. Seems as though it works pretty well, if you can get past the relatively tricky process of syncing it.
