Scuf Gaming has been officially announced as the exclusive third-party accessory partner for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. The company will begin releasing accessories for the pro-gaming controller before the end of 2016 with the first being a range of different colored replaceable grips, thumbsticks, and paddle control systems.

“Since creating a new market space for customizable professional gaming controllers 5 years ago, our vision has always been to see the mass market benefit from the innovative features and functions we patented,” Scuf Gaming & Ironburg Inventions co-founder, Duncan Ironmonger, said of the agreement. “Over 90% of top professional gamers have recognized the competitive edge SCUF provides so we are delighted that Microsoft will now bring that edge to the wider market with its Xbox Elite Wireless Controller.”

Xbox’s Phil Spencer was also excited by the partnership and said, “SCUF continues to improve the way gamers use a controller, reducing hand strain and enhancing the gameplay experience. We are pleased to work with SCUF to bring this project to the masses.”

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
