Xboxelite wiresless 2 controller worth it

[Jonathan]

im searching for a wireless controller for my pc, as i hAve a bluetooth adapter (have no intergrated bluetooth) and my old xbox one controller (2016) doesnt have bluetooth,

so is it worth spending 200 euro for a controller i use mainly for the yakuza games? as i like my own personilized controller with ofcours bluetooth

I don't really think so, if you're thinking about using it as a P.C. gamepad. The Crkd Neo S[crkd.gg]. has swappable thumbsticks, a couple of back buttons, Hall Effect thumbsticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity and a nice looking directional pad, but it only costs $50, and you even have a $5 off coupon on Amazon.[www.amazon.com]

The only reason Microsoft started making Elite controllers and charging so much for them in the first place is likely because they saw what Scuff was doing to their controllers, and wanted that money all to themselves.

If they were smart, they would've done what Sony did with the Dualshock and just make the new features part of the default controller.

Even if you're on xbox, there's the Gamesir G7[www.gamesir.hk] as another alternative to a controller with back buttons. The fit 'n finish isn't as good as Microsoft's but you can buy that for $45 at the moment too[www.newegg.com]. Heck, for the price of one xbox elite controller, I mean it's wireless, but it does go to show that Microsoft doesn't have to charge an arm and a leg.

The regular red xbox controller is $45 too right now.[www.amazon.com] For $180 you could can almost buy four xbox controllers to have a party.

What costs Microsoft so much to make it? Nothing but greed I'm sure. The Scuff folk had the excuse that they had to buy an original xbox controller then put in the manual labor to modify it. Microsoft has the benefit of their own factories. I was anticipating and even hoping that Microsoft might make back button controllers, but I was expecting them to do it at a substantially cheaper price.

Also, let's be frank here. As nice as that rubberized grip probably looks and feels now, it's going to be a gooey mess come 10 or 15 years from now, and if you're spending that much on a controller, you kind of want it to last you for life.

If anybody does want to buy an xbox elite series 2 controller though, I noticed a deal for them on Woot[electronics.woot.com] for 31% off of M.S.R.P., putting it at $120.

But even $120 is too rich for my blood. I'd probably want M.S.R.P. to be $80 at most for what they've done, and then probably just buy it on sale for 50% off anyway.

as i s aid to previous people i cant stand third party consoles even its better cheaper otr something else, my brain just dont like them i like all original big company controllers so sony and microsoft or for pc, corsair g.skill etc etc. so its really nice for you put lots of suggestions but for me i just like my own personilized with my ggametag ingraved

I've had an Elite 2 for around two years now and had absolutely zero issues, certainly no stick drift. In fact, I've been using xbox controllers for years (since the 360 days) and never had any problems whatsoever, can't speak for other people though. Only came away from the 360 controllers as getting official ones became a pain and I kept getting knock-off versions. Tried a DS4 a couple of years back and couldn't get on with it, had to jump through hoops to make it work outside of Steam

The Elite 2 has been a solid controller for me, little on the pricey side when I bought it, not sure what they retail at these days but no complaints. Extra back paddles are really useful but make sure you download the drivers from the Microsoft store should you choose to delve in, extra paddles won't work correctly without it

Also to note, I've never tried the bluetooth capabilities of the pad, I've always used a fast 5m data cable with mine and it's always worked great. the day it dies I'll be replacing it with another one for sure

its really only for yakuza, i played xbox when i could walk, basically from an old tv screen with the original console ( i still have them) through xbox one, i alos have ps5 but yakuza games dont like sony,

If you like the DualSense and all you are trying to accomplish is to play Yakuza games on Steam then you can install something like DualSenseX or DS4Windows to bridge the regular USB inputs from a DualSense or DualShock controller to work as an xinput device. Certainly the free option of installing a software bridge for a controller that you already have is better than spending 200+ euro on another controller.

Also, I've tried KBM for RL and it just does not compute. lol I'm C1/C2 normally and trying to play on KBM I flop around like a bronze1 div1 the first time they launched the game.

It aint our money, so buy whatever you want. If you don't see the improvements and/or features of some 3rd party controllers as beneficial to you then thats your choice. I've had pretty much every "stock" analog stick since they were introduced (on a major console) with the N64. Stick drift has always existed. The two major contributors to it being problematic is the quality of the potentiometers used in the stick and the usage pattern of the stick.

If you play games that utilize an analog stick heavily and does so in a consistently repetitive pattern it will wear out faster than a mix of games that don't induce as much wear on the potentiometers. For example, if you played mostly action/adventure games where you typical analog stick use for movement is "full tilt to the right" to "move forward" that will induce much less wear than a game like RL, Fighting games, etc. where you're regularly moving the stick through a wide range of motion across both axis.

It still bears relevance to whether it's worth it or not.

What's Microsoft doing that makes the elite worth the price over the original, and how much would the extra features be worth?

If we're saying that a controller like the Crkd neo can be built and sold on a profit for $50 M.S.R.P., then the answer is pretty close to nothing, and they're just price gouging you for features that should be on the standard issue controller. Maybe $10 or $20 might be a good premium depending on the specifics of the controller, but $76 to $116 extra isn't.

There is no stick drift it is the coding within games, people not taking care of their controllers, or the system failing with the app (or people not moving to the new app) because stick drift is a myth.

I highly suspect people are not caring properly for their controllers

The only thing I dislike about xBox is the trigger padding, it is a 1mm x 1mm piece of padding and not very well glued on but easily replaceable with the same 1mm padding but at a width of 2mm (this is only for the original xBox One tho and is the only point of failure I have found so trigger stick is real if that padding bunches up in there.
