    At Xbox, we’re committed to giving fans choices when it comes to games, services, and devices. Coming in holiday 2017, we’re bringing fans the most powerful console ever: Project Scorpio. Featuring 6 teraflops of graphical processing power, true 4K gaming, and compatibility with Xbox One games and accessories. Plus, later this spring, Xbox Game Pass will launch unlocking over 100 great games with endless play. Today, we’re excited to unveil the new Tech Series of Xbox Wireless Controllers. The first in the series is the Xbox Wireless Controller – Recon Tech Special Edition. This controller will be available for $69.99 USD and will start shipping to retailers worldwide starting April 25.

    In developing this new controller series, the Xbox team was inspired by military technology and performance patterns, exploring concepts stemming from combat armor and sci-fi mechanical gear. Premium finishes like a laser etched texture on the front, gold accents and insignia are on the front of the controller. The back of the controller features textured diamond rubberized grip for added control and comfort. This specialized controller also has the same features you know and love of the Xbox Wireless Controller, including improved wireless range and Bluetooth technology for gaming on Windows 10 devices or Samsung Gear VR. You can also take advantage of the custom button-mapping feature through the Xbox Accessories App, available for download from the Xbox Store or Windows Store.

    A great way to use this new controller on your Xbox One is with Copilot – a new console feature that allows any two Xbox Wireless Controllers act as if they were one. As part of our commitment to enhancing gaming for everyone, Copilot makes Xbox One more inviting and fun for new gamers or those needing assistance — whether it’s parents who want to help their kids play, experienced gamers looking to play with novice players, or gamers who need unique configurations to play (e.g. with hands apart, hand and chin, hand and foot, etc.). The Copilot feature will be available through the Creators Update later this year.

    Please visit xbox.com, microsoftstore.com, Microsoft Store or your local retail store for more information.

    Wish I was in the Pre-view program. So I can try the new Copilot feature with my twin Elite controllers.

    That happened to my Titian Fall Controller when it first came out, after so many uses of my LB it just wouldn't work, even with resetting the button on the controller from taking it apart didn't help me fix it till I sent it in to MS with my warranty. As for the drifting of the sticks; all that means is that the deadzone needs fixed. With the Elite controller this problem of the drifting sticks can be fixed by using the Xbox Accessories app to configure your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller.
    This fourme may help you out when you get that controller and to help map the buttons and change the sensitivity of the sticks (deadzone) to what you may want and with the app you can make profiles for the controller to use for certain games like one for Call of Duty, and one for Halo.
