Key points
- Controller is improved version of Xbox Elite Wireless Controller with interchangeable back paddles, D-pads and adjustable-tension thumbsticks, as well as shorter hair trigger locks.
- Controllers can be used wired connections (via USB-C) or wirelessly with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows (supports up to 8 controllers)[1] or Bluetooth connection.
- Internal, rechargeable battery with up to 40 hours of battery life per charge. Battery life varies with usage and other factors.
- The controller allows button-mapping using a Xbox Accessories App on both Xbox One and Windows 10.
- Natively supported by most modern games.
- Custom software reWASD lets use paddles as new buttons which you can assign keyboard and mouse actions or macros.
- Physical switch on controller toggles preset moves on the fly. Three configs can be stored locally on controller and 256 configs in the cloud.
- Official software allows duplicate existing buttons of the controller and assign them to paddles. For more advanced configuration it's recommended to use third party applications.
- Many (most?) units have face buttons misaligned from the PCB (particularly the A button), which can result in button presses being undetected from time to time.[2]. In response, Microsoft has extended the warranty period from 90 days to 1 year[3], but chances of getting a controller without the defect are low.

Impulse Trigger Vibration
For a list of games, see List of games that support Xbox One impulse triggers.
- The impulse triggers of the Xbox One Controller are two independent rumble motors located within each of the triggers, allowing developers to selectively vibrate the trigger when the player is performing an action that warrants such a feedback, such as firing a gun or charging an attack.
- The XInput API does not expose this functionality. Games making use of the rumble motors uses the Windows.Gaming.Input API instead.
- The third-party DLL injection-based tool X1nput can be used to convert the normal vibrations of a game to impulse trigger vibration in many single player games.
