The Xbox One controller looks a lot like the Xbox 360 controller, but the new pad actually sports some subtle but relevant differences. Letâs take a video tour, shall we?
The video above shows you the goods and also includes an attempt at a joke by me. Very regrettable, sorry. ButâŠdetails! For those of you without the time or bandwidth to watch!
A clickier d-pad
Smaller control sticks with a tighter dead zone
Control sticks that take less effort to move (phew!)
A new âViewâ button in place of the back button⊠could pop up your inventory or map in an RPG or the leaderboards in an FPS
A new âMenuâ button in place of the forward button⊠would go to a gameâs menu.
âTriple-shotâ face buttons that make them look snazzier and require less force to use (phew again!)
Vibration motors (âimpulse triggersâ) in the triggers (This is awesome. Find out more from our friends at Gizmodo.)
High-speed data port
Less-obtrusive battery compartment running AA batteries.
