LOS ANGELES — I never thought I would consider spending $150 on a video gamepad, but I might start saving my cash for Microsoft’s new premium controller.
A look at the Elite controller from all angles.
The Xbox Elite controller is great, and that makes sense. That’s because it costs $150 (and it’s coming in October), so Microsoft better not deliver something that’s just OK. And from the time I spent with using the pad, it hasn’t. The Elite feels wonderful. Its customization options are smart, and it already works on both Xbox One and PC. But if you are hesitant to pick up something like that, then it probably isn’t for you.
