Video: Xbox One controller has 40 different improvements

4.7
Microsoft has published a new video in which Xbox community mouthpiece Larry Hyrb and Xbox One general manager Zulfi Alam discuss the creation of the console’s brand-new controller.

The controller is confirmed as having haptic feedback, advanced rumble motors, and a more comfortable design.

There is also a USB input on the back of the pad, which gives consumers the option of playing either wired or wireless. When wired, all of the data between console and controller travels through the USB port, instead of over wireless.

Alam confirmed that the pad’s wireless bandwidth is 20x more than the Xbox 360 controller. The latency has now been reduced to milliseconds between pressing a button in wireless mode and having it impact your game on-screen.

The pad also has IR LEDs so that the system knows – thanks to Kinect – who is holding the pad. The Xbox One automatically shifters gamers profiles depending on who is handling it.

What do you make of the Xbox One controller so far? Let us know below.

Can't wait to mod it. I'm thinking clear triggers that light up depending on the new rumble motors.

vegasgamer The first thing that wore out on every controller I owned was the thumb stick controls. It was either clicking down the stick to run would fail, or gradually increased drifting of gaming character.


Agreed, same issue on all of my controllers. That or the bumpers wouldn't register/get jammed. I hope this doesn't happen again... Don't fancy going through 10 odd controllers in the time i will have my console

I'm liking the rumble packs in the triggers. Would be pretty interesting to see how that plays out with different weapons in shooters.

Personally, I love the look of this new controller and all the changes they have announced thus far. I love the 360 controller as well, but I am truly looking forward to these new features.

Cokes It's not that big of an innovation to be honest.


nothing of the xbox one is. Its mostly crap from there computers they put on the xbox to try and make us flip. I like my 360 controller this one looks like it will break very easy and no screws means if I throw it 1 screw wont break the whole case will fly off.
