What are the paddels for?

To emulate other buttons.  

They're reachable by middle and ring fingers—meaning Microsoft has finally replicated third-party offeringsthat let players keep their thumbs on the joysticks at all times.

The paddles are also removable and replaceable, as are the controller's d-pad and twin joysticks—meaning players can switch between concave and convex joystick tops to suit their preferences.

Would make sense. Imagine them putting this thing in the Halo 5 bundle. Those paddles could be pretty sweet for racing games too for shifting.

Seriously, I want the Elite XB1 controller. any ideas on price, and availablity? 


And my guess on price would be probably $80...



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

While $80 sounds high, the level of customizations sounds amazing who knows if they offer different lenth joysticks . Also in the article it mentioned steel construction. Is that the housing, or just the Sticks , or both?

That controller kind of blew me away, the customizability looks amazing.

What do you all think of the new digital pad hexagon thing?

Everyone complained for so long for a digital pad that looks like a plus, now you have two options.


I rarely ever use the dpad but im guessing it was made for fighting games? no idea, anybody have a clue?
