The new Xbox Elite wireless controller allows players to completely re-configure their own controller, making it a personal weapon that lets them play exactly how they want to.
The Xbox Elite controller comes with so many options for customization, it can be made into an entirely new controller, unique to each user. The Xbox Elite controller comes with six different thumbsticks, so that the player can test them, choose their favorite, and interchange them depending on the game they're playing. It also has four slots for interchangeable paddles on the controller's backside. These paddles can be assigned to execute different moves, freeing up fingers for use on the front side keys and thumbstick. These are just a few examples of the Xbox Elite's interchangeable keys.
As if all this wasn't enough, the Xbox Elite app allows players to assign any function to each of the controller's keys, creating a fully personalized, totally unique Xbox Elite controller.
