Xbox One Elite Controller gets one release date, six separate thumbsticks

If you need to do any high-risk day trading to afford an Xbox One Elite Controller, you now have your deadline. According to the Microsoft Store, the super-customizable controller will officially release on October 27 in North America.

For $150 / £119.99, you get a whole controller modification experience. The carrying case (of course it has a carrying case) comes complete with three sets of thumbsticks of varying height, a plus-shaped and disco-ball-shaped D-Pad, and interchangeable finger paddles. Heck, you can even change how much pressure it takes to click in the left and right triggers, individually. I'd probably spend more time fiddling with all the parts than actually playing games with it, to be honest.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
