The next Xbox Elite Controller might have removable triggers​

Microsoft's Xbox Elite Controller remains one of this generation's biggest peripheral success stories, and this patent could indicate future versions are on the way!

The current Xbox Elite Controller allows you to fine-tune your gaming experience, with the option to swap out your joysticks and D-pad, and add an additional four buttons on the underside of the controller in the form of paddles. You can also remap all of the buttons, and toggle between two pre-defined configurations.

The controller's hair trigger locks are one of my favorite features, allowing you to activate the triggers with a minimal press. If this patent is any indication, the next Xbox Elite Controller could have fully customizable triggers to go with it.

It's always worth noting that patents don't equal products. This might just be a protective measure designed to prevent competitors from using the same method in future devices. It also might just be an internal design that might work better in a conceptual form rather than in reality. Either way, the detail in this particular patent is pretty exciting, and hey, it's fun to speculate.

The patent was filed originally in March 2016 but wasn't published until December 15th, 2016. It details an array of accessories for a controller with detachable triggers.

The patent details how trigger accessories would be held in place by magnets, similar to those used on the joystick and D-pad accessories bundled with the current Elite Controller. It also shows multiple types of triggers, including ones that look more like handlebars.

"The present disclosure is directed to a customizable game controller that includes one or more differently configured trigger-type controls that can be swapped out in a tool-free manner."

"For example, differently configured removable trigger accessories may have different sizes, materials, ranges of motion, spring tensions, pull weights, and/or finger positions. In one example, such a configuration facilitates the use of differently configured removable trigger accessories that are customized for particular types of video games."

Handlebar triggers might grant the user greater precision in games like Forza, where controlling the accelerator pedal makes use of the entire range of activations available to the Xbox trigger. I feel there's also some scope for a wider range of branded accessories for triggers too, as video game manufacturers could build accessories that more fully match a game's aesthetic.

Either way, it's a potentially exciting evolution for the Xbox Elite Controller, which already lacks Bluetooth support as seen in the third-generation Xbox One S controllers. Even if this patent doesn't reach the production stage, I'd say it's clear that Microsoft isn't finished with Elite-style peripherals.

How much of a difference does it making in an fps?

How much of a difference does it making in an fps?

It helps me in rainbow 6, I beat a lot of people to the shot consistently. I also can swap weapons faster using the paddles on the back. It takes some getting used to tho.

I want to get one to for BF1 because I'm ridiculously rusty on my console fps games.

Yeesus man. I hooked my XBOX One S this morning, and this shit is still updating Star WARS Battlefront Ultimate Edition. Took what seemed like 2 hours to download Battlefield 1.

Damn man, I just want to play the DEATH Star level on Battlefront. WTF.

 

[tical]

Wife got me an Xbox One S for Christmas. It comes with Battlefield 1. Now fam, how they hell do I play this thing?

 

[Gemini]

It's installing the update and the game.

Install the game first offline, then plug in the ethernet cord to get the update.



The update should've fixed this problem.

Xbox One operating system versions and system updates​

Note - If you are in the preview program, then you should already have this update.

OS version: 10.0.14393.2152 (rs1_xbox_rel_1610 161208-1218) fre

Release date: 12/14/2016

Performance and general improvements

Download performance

We’ve made several optimizations to game and app downloads on Xbox One:

• Customers with high-speed connections (greater than 100Mbps) should experience up to 80% faster download speeds.
  
  
• Customers with connections less than 100Mbps should experience more consistent performance that is up to 40% faster than before.
  
  
• Additional optimizations have also made background downloads more resilient to intermittent connectivity issues.

Download speeds will be influenced by network contention within the home and at the ISP level. Download speeds will also be impacted when games are running on the console as system resources are prioritized for gameplay over background downloads. For more information, visit Troubleshoot slow game or app downloads on Xbox One.

Wireless controller

• Firmware update to improve performance.

Background Music

• General performance improvements for added reliability and consistent experiences across steaming music apps.

Miscellaneous

• General stability and performance improvements.

Nah, I'm hard wired into my modem. Guess it was a combination of installing updates, BF1, and the Star Wars Battlefront season pass. It's done now.
