Table of contents:
One of the most attractive features of the Xbox since its inception is related to one of its peripherals. The Redmond console controller has been, since its first version, the most ergonomic of all those that populate the console market, at least for many users .
And over the generations the sensations offered by the control pad have gotten better, so much so that in 2015 they dared to give their popular peripheral a twist by launching the Control Elite for Xbox One, a controller with a higher price (146.95 euros) and enormous customization capabilities.A control pad that may already have a replacement on the way and that would be the other peripheral that would arrive together with the Adaptive Controller.
The command… final?
Time passes very quickly and it was strange that after three years of life in the market Microsoft did not dare with an evolution of the Control Elite. In fact, it was the colleagues from Windows Central who reported on the development of the second version of the Elite Control for Xbox One
"A controller that already has a code name, Spider, which is determined by the shapes on the back. Apparently and according to sources, the new controller has a 3-phase mechanism, improving the options it offers by being able to adjust the force as the buttons are pressed more or less and depending on the title we are playing. In the new controller, the use of the triggers has been improved, which will now reflect the action on the screen in the second phase."
Another novelty comes from the possibility that users could adjust the resistance exerted by the sticks according to the needs of each moment. Fixed one of the bugs that the original Elite Control had for many users.
On the other hand, the new model of the Elite controller will include support for USB Type-C and could even add a dock for fast charging and PC connectivity via Bluetooth. Regarding price or release date, they are aspects of which we still have no news. The first thing will be to wait for an official confirmation from Microsoft.
