Sold!!!

They already gave away a Forza branded dpad @ E3 and gamescom 2015.

I guess we will see something similar …

And maybe something similar to this regarding the sticks and paddles. …

Fingers crossed the pack will be like the Ford GT Concept style to make it extra special, but I’ll definitely be adding it to my elite controller!

I do wish they made the Ford GT Elite, I’d buy it in a heartbeat to go with my current Elite.

Are the Elite’s really worth it? If so why? And why not just get a wheel?

I picked up Assetto Corsa last week, I think I may get a wheel for this game, as controller doesn’t feel natural. But keep the controller for Forza.

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… :wink:

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.

Cheers bud!

The Elite is fantastic on pretty much any game, not just racing.

With the elite controller you have option to make the steering smoother on ac. But a wheel is unbeatable in that game.

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’m all in

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.

Any update on this? Where can we order?

I checked at game stop over the weekend.They had a gears of war accessory kit. I asked about the Forza one and they said they have not heard anything.

Did you notice the price of the gears set
Its the price of a new standard controller for the 10 little bits

It was $29.99 U.S.. Not bad I would say, It is a collectible. Bout it. Same with the ONE S Gears bundle. Paying about $50.00 U.S. for the skin.

Double up

Stinging us here in Australia 59 for the bits
29.99 would be ok though..even 39
