The Elite controller from Microsoft will cost $150 when it’s released in October, nearly half the price of the Xbox One console which comes with its own non-Elite controller. Even with the customization of the joysticks and paddles, one must really think if this is worth the steep price. There are already a plethora of high end gaming controllers that are tested and true. It makes sense for Xbox to do this mainly due to the company always chipping away at people’s wallets with NAME BRAND accessories and this is no different. There are also specifications to this controller as well and the app along with it.
