After confirming that Xbox One and PC owners who buy the upcoming Elite controller will be able to customize their settings, Microsoft now delivers a special video demonstration that shows the myriad of ways they'll be able to tinker with the new gamepad.

The Xbox One launched back in November of 2013 and brought not just the brand new console from Microsoft but also a new controller model that added a few more things on top of the already-solid design seen with the Xbox 360.

At E3 2015 this summer, Microsoft revealed the Xbox Elite wireless controller, which is a premium gamepad designed for hardcore enthusiasts who want not just more input types, thanks to the special paddles, but also better configuration options and interchangeable things like thumbsticks or D-pads.

Microsoft also revealed that those who buy the Elite controller for Xbox One or PC will be able to tinker with the settings on their own, and now, through a new video, the corporation shows just how they're able to do such a thing.

Once the new controller launches this fall, a special Xbox Accessories application will be released on Xbox One and Windows 10-equipped PCs that allows owners of the gamepad, but also those with regular controllers, to tinker with the button configurations and assignments.

"Adjust trigger min/max values, thumbstick sensitivities, button assignments, and more, so the controls are exactly the way you want them. Assign any of 14 inputs to the ABXY buttons, paddles, D-pad, triggers, and thumbstick clicks. Create as many controller profiles as you like in the app and have tailored settings for any game. Load two profiles on the controller and instantly change between them with the built-in Profile Switch. The possibilities are virtually limitless," the company notes.

As you can see below, you can create profiles and tweak all sorts of other things with the new app, even the brightness of the Xbox logo on the actual controller.

The device launches on October 27, right alongside the Halo 5: Guardians shooter.
