Helios just announced on Twitch an upcoming kit to accessorize the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller with Forza-branded accessories. $29.99, target date is September 22.
Likewise! I think it would be a big seller! Although I get the feeling the Elite controller may get a refresh in the not too distant future to reflect the changes they made with the new updated S controller. Now if only they’d also add the option for colour lab customisation to the Elite too…
The Elite allows as a whole is smoother, feels tighter, more refined, hopefully have better long-term reliability (due to the materials it is made from etc) and adaptable to your personal style and feel using the included accessories and accompanying app on the xbox one. A controller and wheel will always feel together different, but then they do things totally differently. But if you have limited space, a controller will always be the only option.
Idk about you guys but ive personaly never tried using the paddles on the back of my elite for FM, I feel like I need constant grip on the controller with both hands. I looked at the preset button maps and wondered who plays FM with the default Forza map?
I use the paddles on the right side of controller for gear changes. I tried to set the left paddles as my clutch, but I keep getting massive amonts of damage to the tranny. Guess it will take time and patience for this adjustment
I use the Elite in Forza xbone and I use the regular controller in Forza Apex. I can say that the Elite has a much better feel just holding it. The sticks and gas and brake seem smoother and more responsive. My fingers are not long enough to use the paddles. I think the a, b, x, buttons are faster for me. I really like the Elite and I do think it was worth every penny. You can do so much with it. I like the fact you can have two controllers in one. You can set your deadzones for c, b, a cars on no.1 preset. Then if you race say an r or x car, you can flip the switch to no. 2 preset and have different deadzones for tighter steering.
