Microsoft has published a new video for its $150 Xbox One Elite wireless controller, showing off the pad in greater detail than what we've seen before. Specifically, Xbox engineer Navin Kumar appears in this video to talk about and show off the app that lets you create custom button profiles and more.

　　This is the first time we're seeing the app. You can assign any of the 14 inputs to the ABXY buttons, paddles, D-pad, triggers, and thumbsticks. In all, you can create up to 255 different controller configurations and load two onto the controller at any one time. Toggling between the two profiles is as simple as pressing a button.

　　In addition to button-mapping, the controller lets you tweak values for thumbstick and trigger sensitivity, using either pre-built sensitivity curves or your own. You can also change the brightness of the Xbox button and adjust rumble sensitivity in the controller's grips and triggers. Customization for this first-of-its-kind controller also extends to its physical components, as the pad comes with interchangeable rear paddles and hair trigger locks.

　　The Xbox One Elite controller, which was announced at E3 in June, goes on sale on October 27, the same day that Halo 5: Guardians is released. Button-mapping will eventually extend to all Xbox One controllers, not just the Elite model, Microsoft's Mike Ybarra recently announced.

　　Xbox One controllers with buttons on the back are proving popular, as both Razer and PowerA have announced their own high-end Xbox One pads with increased functionality.
