Best Xbox One Controller

If you want the very best Xbox One controller, you need to get yourself the Elite.

Update December 2016: As the year draws to a close, the brand new Scuf Elite takes its place at number two just behind Microsoft's own.

If you want the cream of the crop, you want the Xbox One Elite Controller. It's the same overall design at the regular controller, which is more than OK, but it's just, well, better.

Everything has been upgraded. The thumbsticks are removable, as is the D-pad, and can be replaced with different options depending on your preferences for the games you play. There are four additional paddles on the back, configurable firing mechanisms, and custom button mapping with the Xbox Accessories app for Xbox One and Windows 10.

The materials are as close to wear resistant as Microsoft can get, and once you hold one next to a regular controller, the differences are clear, and astounding. Microsoft studied pro-gamers to create the Elite and produce a product to fit their needs.
