I still have my launch elite. Love it. Can't see myself upgrading, especially if it's a built in battery. That's a no sell for me. I hate that I have to plug in my PS4 controller to charge it. Just let me throw in batteries and go instead of halting my planned gaming until it's charged. I paid $150 for the controller, it should last the generation. Not die due to a crap battery.
I genuinely cant believe people would rather have batteries than built in. You can charge it while you use it.

Have you been under a rock the last two weeks?
- Halo 6 will have massive player counts in multiplayer (much higher than Halo 5) and massive maps
- Fable reboot by Playground Games
- Perfect Dark is getting rebooted with modern gameplay elements, The Coalition seems to be using a small support team on it with a different team MAINLY developing it.
- Microsoft wants to reboot NBA Jam
- Crackdown 3 Beta is coming very soon
- A mech game is getting made exclusively for Xbox One and Windows 10
- Electric Square is working on AAA well-known franchise for Microsoft
- Storylabs put a post up accidentally showing that The Coalition and Storylabs was helping on a new IP (although there's speculation that they just meant a IP not Gears of War and this could indeed be Perfect Dark)
- Rare might be doing something for 20th anniversary of Banjo (either a cameo in an existing game or a remaster of the original game — this could literally be ANYTHING so don't get too hyped for this one)
- WindowsCentral reported that Microsoft was working on a hardware project codenamed Project Scarlet
- Elite Controller 2.0 now leaked (and probably is Scarlet)

This is a lot of shit in two weeks you have to admit.
In my set up I would need a ~12ft of cable to play where I normally sit while charging and then it becomes a trip hazard. If it was a base $60 I wouldn't mind getting 2 like my PS4 so I could just switch when it dies. But for a $150 controller that is just too much.I genuinely cant believe people would rather have batteries than built in. You can charge it while you use it.

The built in batteries on both of my ps4 controllers are about half capacity of what they used to be, and I can't do anything about it. I can replace rechargeable AA batteries when they decide to crap out. So do I want to buy a new controller when the battery shits the bed or just have to buy new batteries?I genuinely cant believe people would rather have batteries than built in.

Please, for the love of all that is holy in this world, change the God damn USB connection on the controller! Why in the hell would MS choose something so flimsy for such an expensive piece of hardware?!
The point of having wireless controllers is not to have cables.
Does "undetachable" mean you can't replace the battery? Shit, even Nintendo's Pro Controllers have removable batteries.
Did you read the OP?
Or what part of USB-C and Magsafe did you not understand?
I just don't want them to break. Saying they are changing to USB-C and Magsafe doesn't guarantee they won't be fragile. Look at the PS4 controller, same USB connection as the One/Elite and yet not nearly as fragile or breakable as the One/Elite.
I like the Xbox One controller, I use it for PC gaming, and I lost 3 controllers because not only did the pack-in cable break (not a problem), but the connector on the controller broke too (big problem). I live in fear of my Elite breaking too, and I don't want that anymore.
I just want something that will last.
I still don't think you understand, there won't be a usb connector in the controller, it will have a magsafe style connector...
I already did it on my pads to save that connector.
Try and make the effort to use them. They are by far the best part about the controller.
The trigger locks really shine when you adjust the curve of the analog triggers. Cutting them at say 60% has it uses, but I also have a shooter configuration that almost treats the trigger as a non analog button, it goes from 0 to 100% when it's really close to the physical stop. That way I can have short bursts without almost not moving my finger out of the analog, which also gives more precision, as I can have a steadier aim when my right finger barely moves.3-level trigger locks: 2 levels are godly in Forza (you can lock your brake trigger and you will only ever brake 60 %, no lockups without ABS) but also a curse. Going back to F1 2017 I often have the problem of forgetting my trigger is locked, so I run straight off. I don't think more than 2 levels are needed, especially since a lot of games only recognize an almost full press.
Now this is a addition that I don't like as well. Sending the profile to the controller have one exact desirable use: So you can use the controller in non supported platforms using the adapter.3 profiles: I have two, but I only ever use one. Can't think of anything where I would need three. I use to forget what the settings are on each, currently I have my standard profile and one for Forza with clutch. Microsoft should man up and give us the system wide stick inversion preference we had on Xbox 360 that's been missing now for four years on Xbox One. But at this point I don't really care anymore. That would be a much more meaningful upgrade than having three profiles on the controller and still having to switch inversion ingame.

Alright, I can see how that guarantees the controller won't break. Consider me corrected and my fears put to rest.
Now to wait for this sucker.
Here's my wish list for Elite v2:
Customized Colors
No battery built in
Detachable bumpers
Bluetooth
Increase durability
DASSIT! Really simple. I will buy a second Elite when i get my X.
This thing is my current choice in terms of controllers. Love the Elite!

For fucks sake I hope they were gonna do something of their own not an existing IP.

Built-in battery is such bullshit. Way to take a premium product and give it a limited lifespan. It had better be user replaceable.
I'd argue most consumers would think that a premium product has a built-in-battery rather than needing AA batteries.
Also, my launch PS4 controller still works. They don't die after a year, guys.
