Yea, I am keeping my Elite 1 pretty much exclusively as a Switch controller lol. Way better than any actual Switch controller.If it has an internal battery than the Xone adapter by Brooks won't work.

I loved listening to the industrial designer from MS on the Giant Bomb @ Nite show. Wish the controller was compatible with the other consoles.
One controller to rule them all.
X one adapter is your friend. However it'll have to be modded for this.
I'm almost positive the same thing happened when the very first one launched, lol.Despite people complaining about the price, this controller sold out quickly. Hopefully Amazon gets some more before launch.
I just wish it was like the play-n-charge kits where you could use AAs or the rechargeable battery that went in the same battery bay.While I agree with you (and much of this thread) they received a lot of flak for going with AA batteries (despite the looong runtime) so I can see why they switched

"constantly" - no. Batteries last a huge amount of time. Especially compared to ds4. Much better to occasionally go grab some eneloops and swap than to go find my long USB cable or just stop playing like I have to on my ps4.Wow, people are really mad at a internal battery? Ya'll okay with constantly taking batteries out of your Xbox controllers? That was single handily the most annoying thing with Xbox Controllers.
Yes, i know (which also super pricey)The original was $150 at launch I think? (it is $145 on amazon today)

Wait how the hell are you doing that? I only have joycons for my switch and I'm stuck on the last pantheon in Hollow Knight. I think it's literally impossible to complete the game with that pos controller 😣
That's my plan as well. I use a Brook Xone adapter with my Elite now for Switch/PS4 games, and I'll be planning on dedicating that one entirely to that once the Series 2 ships.
It's really not hard at all. I have a feeling those people threw out the instructions. I switch mine between PS4 and Switch, and it's like a two button press combo.This looks awesome, thank you for the link! Just one question, some of the reviews say that pairing between different consoles can be difficult, have you had any issues with that?

No idea on sales of the elite controller specifically, but sales of controllers have absolutely exploded this gen according to NPD. It's a combination of things as far as I know. Games like PUBG and Fortnite getting more people into competitive games with complex control schemes, longer support for games getting people to play more over time and become more likely to invest in a new controller, and Microsoft putting in the work to make Xbox controllers not only high end with the elite series, but also collectible with the dozens of special editions they've done as well as the Xbox Labs controller designer. It's a money maker for them to be sure.Do we know the total sales of the first one?
I still can't believe folks were willing to spend so much for a controller (at least with Racing Wheels it was a big difference in gameplay, is it to that extent for some?)....That all being said, since it seems that some of the same will spend a high price again for a newer one, then it must be damn worth it.
I caved and pre-ordered at BestBuy. The changes look really good, native PC support, forward support for Scarlett, and available adapters for PS4 made me all cave.
It's about the same price that I paid for an arcade stick for PS4/PC and will be used a lot more.
I believe they charge when they ship, but I will double check.
The paddles are a really good idea and should frankly be standardized next gen. The only downside to the 1st gen controller was the build quality was subpar compared to the premium price they were asking for it.Do we know the total sales of the first one?

Are there any who are just going to stick with the first one? And see if there is another one released a year or two in the Next Xbox Gen?
I also wonder if the Elite 3 would have a way to connect directly to Microsoft's servers, like how Google's Stadia Controller will connect through wifi to Google's servers. So that you can take your Elite 3 on the go, and be able to stream games with low input lag. Would add to the value imo.
Not directly from Sony but I've used this and it's pretty great.I don't care for customization but I like sturdy build quality. I want something similar from Sony.
I didn't see that. I saw Major Nelson when he was showing if off at E3 announced that people there (at E3) could preorder it there and they'd get some exclusive green disc, but I didn't hear that going on anywhere else out of E3.Is there a preorder bonus with the elite 2? I'm heard there's a green disc/dpad for preorders but can't see anything on Amazon

I'm definitely waiting this next version out though. Even if the next console is backwards compatible with accessories I refuse to believe they'll launch it without any new controller revision. The series 2 controller was leaked something like 18 months ago and it looked pretty damn close to the final product, they even got smaller details like the charging case right. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the next console gets a series 3 released near launch or a year later.
Yeah I think that was an e3 thing only.Is there a preorder bonus with the elite 2? I'm heard there's a green disc/dpad for preorders but can't see anything on Amazon
It's compatible with Scarlett.So um...given how late in the XO's life cycle this is, can I assume it will be compatible with Scarlett?
Because if not GTFO.
That said, very happy to this day with my Elite controller I got a couple of years ago. First time owners will be very pleased I'm sure.

I hope I get some kind of cool preorder bonus, but I guess I'm not expecting any because the first one sold so well without them.
It can still be yours for the low low price of $75.
Months ago.Out of interest does anyone remember when was the white Elite introduced?
Annoying!
Agreed.
