Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 (Release on 4th of November; Internal Battery; MSRP of $179.99)

[Zaubrer]

Main new features include abilitly to mechanically adjust the tension of the sticks, three profiles + one default, gripping all around the controller, finer hair triggers which also have a grip feel, USB-C loading in and out of the case, Bluetooth connection to Win 10 PCs and tablets (iOS and iPad OS for example).

Software side new features: You can map voice controls to buttons, for example take a screenshot etc.. Also, you can "multi map" buttons by combining a hold button + push button that way you have a huge amount of mapping options (for example hold RT+LS = take a screenshot)

One huge draw back: Internal batteries. They are supposed to last up to 40 hours though.

MSRP of $179.99

For how long tho? That's the entire problem with these POS internal batteries. Ugh, way to fuck this thing up., looks like a cool controller otherwise.

 

[Kawngi]

Am I going to buy a controller for $180? Yes, yes I am.

 

[ShutterMunster]

If this works on Scarlett, I'll buy it.

yeah really. such a stupid decision. I hate internal batteries as well. You pay 180 bucks for that controller just to have it defective after two years because battery life is at the end.

 

[CHC]

180 dollar gamepad is a no from me dawg, sorry. I'm not that cheap but unless it dispenses Balvenie Doublewood on demand I'm not doing that. Money better spent on a VRR monitor or new GPU

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Pretty cool. But my God that's a lot of money for a controller.

Does it work on nextbox?

 

[AlecKoKuTan]

But srs, how long will this one last till the bumpers break?

 

[Jarmel]

ugh at that price increase and super late release date

[strife85]

Day 0

 

[sirap]

Let's hope the new bumpers are stronger than the old one, cause I went through 3 of them lol.

 

[0ptimusPayne]

I'm sure it will be, but I'm not throwing money at any new accessories until they announce that it's forward compatible with Scarlett...

 

[Balmung421]

Day 0

 

[bananas]

That's a pricey meatball.

 

[hank_tree]

Was ready to buy one but internal batteries can fuck off.

 

[leder]

Man that's more expensive than most of my arcade sticks.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Finally. I'm definitely ordering this. Best controller gets better.

 

[strife85]

buying it for sure.

After the grip problems on the first gen, highly recommend the extended warranty from best buy or wait to get it from Costco.

 

[Darknight]

I was in until the internal battery was announced.

 

[TheGhost]

Still cheaper than a scuff. Absolutely

 

[Maple]

If this works on Scarlett, I'll buy it.

That's pretty much a given.

 

[molnizzle]

Internal battery is a huge letdown.

 

[Prine]

I love it, day 1!!

 

[a Master Ninja]

This is the announcement that got me the most excited. I just hope the battery isn't a problem and this will work on Scarlett.

 

[Cynn]

Stick tension adjustments. Sold and sold.

 

[Zelda]

Yeah the built in internal battery is a deal breaker for me. Being able to pop my eneloops in and out of my controllers is just too good.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Tbh, I was expecting 200 because of all the improvements made to it. 180 is an instant purchase for me.

 

[Lashley]

I can't justify spending that much on a controller to myself

 

[Courage]

Getting this with Best Buy's product replacement plan because I'm not falling for that laughable limited warranty shit again

 

[stersauce]

this better be compatible with next gen

 

[Deleted member 40102]

I'm so so so mad I just bought one like 3 months ago....

 

[Admiral Woofington]

as dope as this controller looks, I am not paying that much for one. My 360 wired gamepad works just fine and I never need to be too far from my desktop so no need for bluetooth.

If they lower the price during a sale I'm game.

 

[o Tesseract]

Any preorder links up for Canada?

 

[ChrisR]

One day, wired controllers will come back

I'd be over this in a heartbeat if it was :(

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Internal battery. No thanks

 

[FusedAtoms]

179 isn't too bad, hopefully it goes up for pre order at multiple retailers

 

[Dennis8K]

Will get.

 

[Theef]

Can't wait to try one out

 

[Lukas Taves]

Internal battery whyyyyyyyy?

 

[ryan299]

Hoping for some kind of trade in but not expecting one.

 

[Neoxon]

I guess the Xbox Scarlett won't have gyro controls if they're releasing another Elite controller without it.

With that said, thank god microUSB is gone.

 

[SecondNature]

stupid price, but Id want one, especially if it could somehow work with PS4/5

 

[Forearm_Star]

Most hyped part of the conference for me. Waiting on that Gamestop preorder to open up.

why do you want a wired controller? I mean you could still connect to via USB-C to the console (or PC or iPad)

 

[.exe]

Rubberized grips means it's a hard pass. I hate that stuff on mice. Let's please not ruin controllers. That it's textured is even worse. It's gonna catch all sorts of hand grime and absorb sweat. Yuck.
