Overview
Competitive gamers’ needs were taken into consideration when designing the Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. The Xbox Elite controller, which was created in partnership with professional-level gamers, helps you reach your greatest potential and adjusts to your particular playing style. Discover accuracy that changes the game, increased speed, and a customized feel.
The ergonomically improved, faceted D-pad on the Xbox Elite controller can be switched out for a conventional, plus-shaped one. In order to enable more headsets, Microsoft also placed a 3.5mm headphone jack adjacent to their proprietary port. To improve control, pick from three distinct sets of thumbsticks and reassign any button to your preference. You may also customize the four rear paddles, which let you enter commands without using your thumbs. For compatible titles, Impulse Triggers are accessible, and you can alter the rumble motors inside the app. The distance between the controller’s triggers is reduced by independently movable Hair Trigger Locks, requiring less movement to fire and reset.

Boost Your Fitness & Performance
You can choose between different metal thumbsticks and D-pads for ergonomic control. Discover how to use thumbsticks of various sizes and shapes in configurations that can increase precision, quickness, and reach. Your play style and hand size are taken into account by the Xbox Elite controller. Whether you play FPS, racing, fighting, or other genres, you’ll have better control. The classic D-pad offers fine control to switch weapons or initiate a strike, while the new, faceted D-pad makes it easier and more dependable to execute combos. -
Confidence, Control, and Combinations
There are four slots for interchangeable paddles on the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. They can be attached and removed without the use of tools. You can choose to attach all of the paddles or just a few, and you can set up the controller as you like. You can perform deadly movements and have more effective control thanks to the paddles’ increased finger control. Now you can do complex hop, aim, and shot combos without removing your thumbs from the thumbstick. You can give each paddle a variety of inputs using the app. -
Hair trigger locks speed up the fire
You can fire more swiftly and economize time with each trigger pull by flipping the Hair Trigger Locks. Hair Trigger Locks allow you to get ready for the next shot by stopping the trigger movement after the shot. Reversing the switch will restore the trigger’s entire range of motion. For independent control, each trigger includes a separate Hair Trigger Lock. You can further tweak trigger settings within the app. -
Libertarian & Flexible
Make your experience even more unique by using an app. Set the controls exactly how you want them by adjusting the trigger min/max settings, thumbstick sensitivity, button assignments, and more. You can give the ABXY buttons, paddles, D-pad, triggers, and thumbstick clicks any one of 14 inputs. With the software, you can create as many controller profiles as you want and customize settings for any game. Use the built-in Profile Switch to quickly switch between two loaded profiles on the controller. -
Made for gamers
Each surface and component is created to fulfill the exacting standards of competitive gamers. Thumbstick shafts, D-pads, and paddles are made of durable stainless steel. Each thumbstick has low-friction, strengthened rings that reduce wear and offer fluid movement. The rubberized diamond grip increases stability while giving the controller a more robust feel. You can hold the controller more easily thanks to the improved grip, allowing you to play for longer periods of time. The top case’s soft-touch surface gives it a premium feel and nonslip control.
