Has someone taken apart the Xbox One controller?

4.5
Microsoft claims that it has made quite a few changes and improvements to the Xbox One controller compared to the one made for the Xbox 360. A lot of those changes were made inside the gamepad. Now a website claims to have gotten a hold of a Xbox One controller and has torn it down to show what's inside.

The Xbox Skyer site claims that it picked up the controller in the port city of Dongguan, China. The images, which unfortunately have a ton of words obscuring its details, show the casing of what appears to be a real Xbox One controller, along with the circuit board inside.

While there's not a lot of new information that can be gleaned from these teardown photos, the images do give a clearer idea of how they will be constructed. Microsoft has said previously that they have conducted extensive tests on the gamepads in their labs, including pushing the buttons on each controller a total of two million times; The company claims the controllers will last 10 years or more with regular use.

Of course, while these teardown images look legitimate, they could be faked.

Looks a lot different compared to the Xbox 360 one, with there being 3 parts to the shell and 2 parts to the actual motherboard. Very different, but hopefully the changes will make it better.

Monster-Munch If this is legit it looks so much diffrant to the other xbox controller lol.


It's like the Xbox Controller yet with various improvements


Same base of the first Xbox's controller, with similar buttons of the 360's controller, with new adjustments on the Xbox One's controller :D A little bit of everything


I'm mainly looking forward to the new and improved thumb sticks on the new controller. Hopefully they work well with Role Playing Games


I'm just gonna miss the Xbox guide button for some reason haha


So am i. I really liked the layout of the Xbox 360 controller to be honest. Hopefully i can get used to it and like the new controller just as much

Wow, a 3 part shell and a 2 part motherboard? I'd love to see the controller tuning with this, I don't think the middle shell will make a difference to the outer aspect but buying a motherboard will be a lot more expensive now:/
