Microsoft’s popular Xbox Elite Controller is getting a new line of multi-colored mods from custom controller kings Scuf Gaming along with the ability to buy completely customized Elite controllers.
In October 2015, Scuf announced that it had signed a licensing agreement with Microsoft, both allowing the company to use its paddle design and making Scuf the exclusive third-party accessories partner for the controller.

Today, Scuff unveiled what it has in mind for the Elite. The company is offering two different upgrade kits for the Elite:
SCUF ELITE Paddle Control System & Directional Bias D-pad Kit - $39.95
SCUF ELITE Paddle Control System
SCUF paddles are positioned for optimal ergonomic performance, using crossover paddle control system.
Paddles mimic any face button, allowing thumbs to remain on the thumbsticks - shortening response time between actions.

Comfortable, intuitive design, and familiar to SCUF users. Play like a Pro.
Color: Silver
SCUF ELITE Directional Bias D-pad
Tilted D-pad to access a single direction bias quicker - reduced distance when alternating from the thumbstick to D-pad.
The angle helps the gamer focus on the direction of the D-pad bias.
Adjustable to all 4 positions.
Magnetic technology for easy position changes.
Color: Silver
SCUF ELITE Pro Grips & Precision Thumbstick Kit - $29.95 (coming soon)

Scuf says it will also start selling completely customizable Xbox One Elite controllers which will allow color treatments for the faceplate, buttons, trim and accessories. Those will run from $149.95 to $200 depending on the options.
The Paddle Controls System and Directional Bias D-pad kit and full customization is on sale now. The Thumbstick and Pro Grip kit goes on sale after the first of the year.
