A newvideo from Microsoft (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF_l-XLCncY&feature=youtu.be&t=30m30s) out of Gamescom (http://www.engadget.com/event/gamescom-2015/articles/) sheds some light on just that. The Elite's customization goes much deeper than just swapping out different lengths of thumbsticks: you can adjust trigger deadzone, download custom button-binding profiles for certain games, tweak haptic feedback intensity on a motor-by-motor basis and even completely remap button functions. Long story short: if standard gamepads (http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/01/a-look-at-the-evolution-of-modern-video-game-controllers/) regularly fall short for your high-level needs, this is the paddle for you.
