Is there a notable difference or improvement in feel over the standard controllers as to how Halo 5 plays? I’m really thinking about getting an Elite…
For me the elite controller is wonderful to use. I was bitting my lip when i ordered it…but have no regrets. I find it very comfortable to handle.

Agreed. It is definitely a high-quality product, and when you combine that with the extensive customizing options it really is worth the price.
I think the only reason I would get the Elite Controller is for the thumbsticks and the better triggers. I’m not willing to spend $150 on that, since I can get Overkills with my regular controller just fine.
I have no idea what your talking about. Can someone give me pointers?
With the Elite Controller I only use two paddles. My button changes is LB to Sprint, Left Stick click to Thruster, Left Paddle to Crouch, and Right Paddle to Aim down (I hate pressing the right stick to aim). I also have a second button scheme for Phaetons and Wasps where the paddles is LB and RB (Ascend and Descend).
Just do it man. Just adjust yourself to the new controls
It you can swing it, go Elite. You won’t regret it.
I have one. I only got it because I had three faulty Xbox One controllers (two controllers with drifty analog sticks and my Master Chief controller’s left bumper fell out days after the warranty expired. I’m not hard on these things, my 360 controllers lasted years). I just wanted something sturdy and I got it through a third-party retailer who offered a two-year warranty just in case. But the thing is amazing. I don’t use the paddles because I’m too dumb to acclimate myself to using them (I’ve been playing Xbox & Halo for what feels like centuries now, I can’t not hit “A” to jump, you feel me?)
The thing won’t make you a better player (check my stats, lol). But it’s a very reliable, precise, and solid controller. Use for a week or two and go back to the controller you got with your console and it’ll feel like you’re playing with some cheap knock off you bought for $8 at a bargain store. You can’t go back, is what I mean.
The best thing about it is the 2 profile button mapping. I still play Reach and the MCC a lot as well as Halo 5, and since I have MCC and Halo 5 set to “Halo 4” control scheme, I can finally button map the second profile settings on the controller for Reach so I can crouch with “B” and switch grenades with the D-pad so every Halo game plays identical with the flip of a switch. It’s great. Now I’m not trying to crouch jump in Reach and accidentally switching grenades instead.
And the elongated analog stick for aiming is awesome too. I got the short one for movement and the long one for aiming. It’s a great controller. Options are nice.
It didn’t make me better, but it feels a lot more comfortable, and the paddles are a great added bonus. I have sprint on the left paddle, and crouch on the right. It seems to be much better built, and I love the ability to switch between 2 different configurations (Basically when I want to play Reach) It would be extremely hard for me to go back to a standard controller.
It probably won’t make you better, but it will most likely make playing games on Xbox more enjoyable
The one thing I believe the Elite does make you better is spartan charging. It does it in a flash.
Hope you all added extra warranty on it. My left bumper broke after 4 months. Microsoft only give you 90 days warranty. I took it to the Microsoft store they told me there’s nothing they can do because 3 months has pass already. Now I got $150 useless controller collecting dust in my room. Don’t know where to get it repair because Microsoft do not repair them.
I want to get it because it would help with using the paddles to do thruster or crouching or switch grenades. I would also want it to get the hair triggers to help pull the trigger faster.
